Limbo
by Orbitul
Limbo is a Forge minigame for 1.20.1 that turns nearly every way of obtaining items into a fast-paced shuffle.
What it does
Breaking a block, killing a mob, crafting, fishing, trading with a villager, looting a naturally generated chest, milking, shearing, laying eggs or picking up water, lava, fish and tadpoles can each hand out an item. Instead of a normal drop, the result is split into eight identical copies shown in a flash-swap spin, and the player picks one. The right pick grants the item, a wrong pick causes damage and loses it. Even dying and respawning is not safe, since the respawn screen takes part in the shuffle.
Limbo is client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod. A 12-step slider on the main menu sets the chaos level, running from mild block-breaking shuffles at step 1 to every system shuffled together at step 12. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with source code and an issue tracker available.

What the author says
Ever break a block and just get the item? Not anymore. Limbo turns nearly every way you obtain items in Minecraft into a fast-paced shuffle game. Instead of items dropping normally, they split into 8 identical copies that flash, swap, and spin, like limbo from geometry dash. Pick the right one and you get your item…
