The Moonjester
by plourples
The Moonjester adds a curious jester creature, divination tables, lucky cards and gambling-themed items to Minecraft 1.20.1 on Fabric.
What it does
Players find a Moonjester in the world and speak with it to obtain items that manipulate fundamental rules of the game. The mod is centered around the Moonjester and its known forms, and the form depends on where the player happens to be. A divination table is crafted to seek out jagged peaks, and clues found in the world are deciphered to learn the components of that table. Relics from the long forgotten past are placed throughout the world, and bold explorers who climb the highest peaks or dig into the deepest darks are rewarded.
Several items are built around luck and risk. A ritual summons a companion form, and trade items can twist fate itself. A gambler's charm, an enigma coin and cards let players gamble with fate and receive random status effects. Faded cards can be combined into a deck that gives a boost. The mod is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 only, and it requires Geckolib. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is under a CC0 1.0 Universal dedication, which is not open source in the sense of an open license for contributors.
