by PadjokeJ

Gambler's Fallacy adds a slot machine that players use chips and kelp to play, and a weapon that cycles through its states on each right click.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

The slot machine is the central block of the mod. Players gamble chips, and kelp stands in for money because it looks like it. A spin can pay out a weapon or other goodies, so the slot machine is the way to obtain the mod's gambling weapon.

The gambling weapon switches randomly between 64 states each time it is right-clicked. Its behavior therefore changes from use to use rather than staying fixed. The mod is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.21.1, and requires Fabric API. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Compatibility with Combat Amenities is stated by the author. Its source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.

Key features

  1. Slot machine

    A slot machine accepts chips and pays out prizes when its reels line up, giving the economy a gambling outlet.

  2. Gambling weapon

    The weapon cycles through 64 randomly chosen states on each right click, so each use can differ.

  3. Chips and kelp

    Chips are the currency for the slot machine, and kelp is used in their place as a visual stand-in for money.

  4. Other rewards

    Besides the weapon, the slot machine can return additional items as prizes.
