Minecraft Chaos Edition
by Izaise
Minecraft Chaos Edition is a Forge minigame in which a random event fires every few seconds, changing how a world plays.
What it does
Events are picked at random and trigger every few seconds, so a session rarely plays the same way twice. The author describes the mod as inspired by chaos-style editions of other games, and the first one was built without expecting much from it. Feedback on which events to add is requested, and the mod is switched on in game with the StartTheChaos command, leaving the regular world untouched while it runs.
Among the events listed in the author text, a hunger effect, blindness, levitation and a paralysing handicap mode appear, along with spooky skeletons that summon two iron-helmeted skeletons beside the player. Others strike the player more directly: lightning aimed where the player looks, a random camera turn, an item removed from the off hand that also deals four hearts of damage, a speed boost for nearby entities, a power 4 TNT explosion, and an inventory wipe.
The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1 alone. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. The license is All rights reserved, which means the code is not open source, and the latest Forge file is 1.0.1 for 1.20.1, dated 2025-03-24 on the beta channel.
Key features
Random timed events
A random event fires every few seconds, so the difficulty shifts during play without any setup from the player.
Status effect events
Hunger, blindness, levitation and a handicap mode that stops movement each apply for 6 to 9 seconds.
Summoning and strike events
Two iron-helmeted skeletons can appear next to the player, and lightning can strike where the player is looking.
Inventory and explosion events
Events can remove the off-hand item, delete the whole inventory, or detonate a power 4 TNT block.
In-game activation
The StartTheChaos command enables the mod while a session is running, and the regular world is left as it was.
