Minecraft, but Chunks get Invisible
by ratixe722
Minecraft, but Chunks get Invisible is a Fabric minigame where each chunk a player enters for the first time turns invisible, so exploration becomes a memory test.
What it does
Newly touched chunks turn invisible once a player enters them, so the terrain the player has already crossed stays visible while the unexplored parts fade out. The effect is controlled by a gamerule, which means the feature can be switched on or off per world. It is disabled by default, so nothing changes until a world owner turns it on.
The mod suits minigame worlds, challenge runs and speedrun attempts, where moving through unknown terrain without seeing it ahead is the point. It requires Fabric Loader 0.18.4 or newer and runs on the client and the server together, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file, under the MIT License.
Key features
Chunk invisibility
A chunk the player enters for the first time becomes invisible, hiding its terrain from view.
Gamerule control
The effect is governed by a gamerule, so a world owner can enable or disable it without reinstalling the mod.
Disabled by default
The feature starts switched off, so vanilla behavior remains until the gamerule is changed.
Newly touched chunks only
Only chunks entered for the first time are affected, while chunks the player has already crossed keep their look.
