Determinant

by Deltasense

Determinant is a Forge magic mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 in which a LOVE value, shaped by combat and dialogue choices, changes how the world treats the player.

What it does

Determinant tracks a LOVE value that rises and falls with the player's decisions in fights and conversations. As LOVE climbs, mobs behave differently, the atmosphere and tone of the world shift, and the player gains high-impact abilities. Low levels leave the world feeling close to normal, while higher levels make it less forgiving the further a player pushes.

The mod is built around a long-term progression path. Staying peaceful and trying to coexist with the world leads to one set of outcomes, going fully toward genocide leads to another, and the middle ground produces stranger results. Dialogue reactions and the presence of the player evolve over time, so the game responds to the player as something it recognizes rather than as another entity.

Determinant runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It requires Geckolib, and CMDCam and Photon Editor are optional. Files exist for Forge on 1.20.1 only, with the latest 0.1.0-beta file published on 2026-05-04 on the beta channel. The code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. LOVE progression

    A LOVE value rises with combat and dialogue choices and drives how the world reacts to the player.

  2. Escalating abilities

    Power is gained through combat decisions, and higher LOVE grants more dangerous high-impact abilities.

  3. Mob and atmosphere changes

    Mobs behave differently and the atmosphere and tone of the world shift as LOVE increases.

  4. Multiple outcomes

    Peaceful, genocidal and mixed playstyles each lead to different escalation paths rather than one forced route.

Questions

Does Determinant need Geckolib?

Yes. Geckolib is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Determinant on Forge 1.20.1.

Does the server need Determinant?

Yes. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Are CMDCam and Photon Editor needed?

No. Both are optional dependencies, so Determinant runs without them.

What the author says

Determinant is not a normal Minecraft mod. This is a long-term progression experience where the player slowly turns into a walking cataclysm. Every action matters, every fight pushes you further, and over time the world stops treating you like just another player.
