Bad Mod

Bad Mod adds mechanics that punish normal play on purpose. Eating bread can make the bread vanish from the inventory, carrying a bucket next to another empty bucket slows the player, and using a hoe to till farmland breaks the hoe at once. Sending a chat message normally costs the sender 2 health, a shield block calls down 3 Creepers, and a successful fishing catch throws the angler high into the sky. Experience slowly drains while sleeping, and water in the rain turns dangerously hot while lava turns cold.

The mod includes an optional Nightmare Mode, which the author describes as a joke mode. In it chat messages deal 4 damage, blocking with a shield summons 6 Creepers, and experience decreases continuously. The author states that the mechanics are intended to be exaggerated and frustrating rather than balanced, so the mod suits players who want chaos and do not mind a lot of suffering.

The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It runs on Forge for 1.20.1 only, and it has to be installed on both the client and the server. Its first Forge file, 1.0.0, was published on 2026-06-30.
