Avarice

by ninesnow

Avarice is a Minigame mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt in which a world spawns a Fountain of Greed that requests items from players.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCustom license1.21.4 – 1.21.5

What it does

Avarice is built around a Fountain of Greed that appears at world spawn and asks for a new item each day. Requests grow more uncommon and niche over time, and failing to meet them raises the world's difficulty through a Wheel of Misfortune that keeps looming over the run. The challenge rewards reacting quickly and planning ahead.

Death is permanent by default, but other players can revive a fallen player using false hearts, and ghost players can possess mobs, which slowly increases the false heart drop rate. Servers can disable permanent death for a more relaxed experience. A gilded dungeon with enemies offers a combat-centric structure for players who think they have mastered the fountain, and the mod includes structure assistance and sound effects. Some content only shows up in some inventories: items do not appear in the creative mode inventory, and modded items and blocks are recognized with certain utility.

The mod runs on a server and requires no client installation, though players can add it for extra features. Avarice ships with a companion data pack and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.4 – 1.21.5, under a custom license that is not open source.

Key features

  1. Fountain of Greed requests

    A fountain at world spawn asks for a new item each day, with requests that become progressively more uncommon and niche.

  2. Wheel of Misfortune

    Failing a request raises the world's difficulty through the Wheel of Misfortune, so the challenge keeps building.

  3. Revival with false hearts

    Permanent death can be undone when other players revive a fallen player using false hearts, and ghost players can possess mobs to raise the drop rate.

  4. Gilded dungeon structure

    A combat-centric dungeon with enemies gives experienced players a harder structure once they master the fountain.

  5. Sound effects and structure assistance

    Additional sound effects, sampled from FreeSound, ZapSplat and Pixabay, accompany the mod, with structure assistance to help players find dungeons.

What the author says

Avarice is all about reacting quickly and planning ahead. At the world spawn resides the Fountain of Greed, requesting a new item every day. The requests get progressively more uncommon and niche. Failure to pay its demands will increase the world's difficulty and roll the ever-looming Wheel of Misfortune…
