Chaos Edition

Chaos Edition applies one of more than sixty chaotic effects roughly every 750 ticks, and the gap between effects is random, so sometimes several land at once. Some effects are silent and only show their results later, while others give audio cues. A few effects prove beneficial, which pushes players to turn a bad situation around rather than simply survive.

The mod is inspired by the chaos mechanic of Chaos Edition hacks for Super Mario 64, but it is not a direct translation of that game's mechanics. It is designed around the vanilla experience and is built as a challenge: players set their own goals, such as acquiring diamonds or netherite or defeating the Ender Dragon, and the effects make each attempt unpredictable. Some other mods still work alongside it, and compatibility with other mods is an option the author treats as one of the primary goals. Fabric API is required.

The mod is published for Fabric only, for 19 release versions, under the MIT License, and it is open source. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. A wiki and a GitHub repository describe the effect mechanics in detail.
