Depression

by block-137

Depression adds a mental health system to Minecraft, with emotions that rise and fall and a condition that can develop over time.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.19.2 – 1.20.4

What it does

The mod tracks two attributes for each player, emotion and mental health. Emotion decides how quickly mental health goes up or down. Players see their current emotion through emoji shown on the experience bar. Getting hurt can leave a player with PTSD, and emotional damage from the same source hits harder over time.

When mental health stays low, a player can develop depression in three levels, and the level sets which symptoms appear, such as insomnia. Mental health can be inferred from a diary written at night, which is crafted from a book, a quill and a flower. Severe depression calls for a visit to a psychologist, and villages can generate a psychological clinic. Depression requires Architectury API. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, making it open source.

Key features

  1. Emotion display

    Current emotion appears as emoji on the experience bar, so players can read it without opening a menu.

  2. Trauma from damage

    Getting hurt can cause PTSD, and emotional damage from the same source has a stronger effect.

  3. Three depression levels

    Low mental health can lead to depression in three levels, each with its own set of symptoms.

  4. Diary and clinic

    A crafted diary reveals mental health, and a village psychological clinic offers help for severe depression.
