Minecraft but Inventory is Random
Minecraft but Inventory is Random periodically swaps items in players' inventories for new random ones, on a timer the server configures.
What it does
On a configurable interval, default 30 seconds, the items held in player inventories are replaced with random new items. The number of items changed per cycle can be set with a command, and a boss bar countdown can be hidden. The mod is built from a data pack, so it is also available as a data pack for server platforms, and it has a command that uninstalls its project data.
Only the server needs to run the mod for it to work, and players may leave it out. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with the latest v1.2 file covering 26.2. Files cover 21 release versions, 1.20.2 – 26.2, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Creator credit and a link are requested in pack descriptions and comments.
