just impossible
by Warmaker
Just Impossible makes Minecraft much harder, with hazards that turn the world against the player and a setup that can clear the inventory.
What it does
The mod is a challenge minigame aimed at players who want a little more difficulty than vanilla gives. Its rules are built around punishing mistakes: mining with some tools makes the item disappear, and sleeping or swimming can leave the player standing in molten rock. Some of these effects are meant to be surprising, so the mod is also a little cursed.
Items picked up from the ground are kept only for a short time, about 5 seconds, before the entire inventory is cleared, so a player has to decide quickly what to keep. Leaving the world clears the inventory too. Progress is tied to a Space Gem, which the player needs in hand to finish the mod. Placing a block is limited to certain materials, and the rules cover blocks from material 1 up to 64.
Key features
Lava from beds
Beds turn the area around them into molten rock in a 5 by 5 block square, so sleeping is a risk.
Lava from water
Open water becomes molten rock across a 10 by 10 block patch, which changes how players cross lakes and rivers.
Inventory clearing
Items on the ground vanish after about 5 seconds, and the whole inventory is cleared on leaving the world.
Vanishing tools
Mining with certain tools makes the item disappear, so each tool choice has a cost.
