Invalid Genie
by AlmerDiamond
Invalid Genie is a Fabric mod that adds a summoned genie creature which spoils speedruns and makes the world more annoying for players attempting to beat Minecraft.
What it does
Invalid Genie changes many everyday parts of the game to be harder or stranger. Lava is replaced with magma, water with ice, food with chorus fruit, and eating a golden apple lowers health instead of raising it. Food levels drop on their own, and mobs are teleported around at intervals of about five minutes. Curse-themed armor, tools and weapons are added alongside these changes.
The genie itself is an invulnerable creature that is summoned to help but tends to undo progress, and it keeps going after the player. A Jax mode gives the Jax skin from the Digital Circus to the genie and to the player. The mod runs on Fabric and needs Fabric API installed next to it. It is published for 1.20.4 only, with the Fabric file 0.0.1 for 1.20.4 as the latest release, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source, though its source code is publicly available.
Key features
Annoying mobs
A mob named Minecraft is added to the world and makes the game more irritating to play.
Swapped blocks and food
Lava, water and food are replaced with magma, ice and chorus fruit, so familiar recipes and routines no longer apply.
Curse-themed gear
Armor, tools and weapons with curse effects are added for players who want to fight the modded challenges.
Health and hunger changes
Eating a golden apple reduces health, and food level decreases over time, making survival more punishing.
Teleporting mobs
Mobs are teleported around the map roughly every five minutes, which disrupts normal travel and fights.
Jax mode skin
An optional Jax mode gives the genie and the player the Jax skin from the Digital Circus.

Use cases
Speedrun interference
Players who race to beat Minecraft can use the mod to add obstacles, since the genie and the teleporting mobs spoil timed runs.
Challenge runs
Players looking for a harder, unpredictable survival playthrough can combine the swapped blocks, food changes and curse gear.
Who it’s for: Players who enjoy chaotic, challenge-driven survival and speedrunners who want a mod that interferes with their runs. Players who prefer stable vanilla behaviour will find the changes disruptive.
