OverWind
by zeonarcaneus
OverWind makes a Minecraft world harder over months of play, with timed modifiers that stack until a cap is reached.
What it does
Every spin of a wheel adds a modifier to the world, and the first spin fires as soon as the world loads. The next spin is scheduled 7–10 days later, at a randomized time, so the timing cannot be predicted. The active set grows until it reaches a cap of 5, and each new spin retires the oldest modifier, which keeps the world escalating while holding it in a sustained, shifting state instead of letting it become unplayable.
The mod draws from 20 modifiers across the Blessing, Handicap, Danger and World Effect categories, including temporary blessings that offset built-up chaos. Alongside them sits a 38-goal bucket list built on the vanilla advancement system. Its goals cover boss kills, structure exploration, gear, taming and farming, and some are cumulative-count goals such as mining 64 diamonds or surviving 100 days. Clearing a goal can grant a random Milestone Blessing.
OverWind requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric Loader 0.19.3 or newer. Only the server needs it, so the client is optional. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The latest Fabric build is 1.0.8 for 26.2, published 2026-08-09 on the beta channel.
Key features
Timed modifier spins
A wheel adds a modifier at load and again every 7–10 days, at a randomized time.
Capped modifier set
Up to 5 modifiers stay active at once, and each new spin retires the oldest one.
Bucket list advancements
38 goals appear in their own tab of the vanilla Advancements screen, with toasts when a goal clears.
Day tracking HUD
An in-game overlay shows the day count, active modifiers and advancement progress.
Local stream endpoint
An optional HTTP endpoint on localhost:9191/state.json serves the state to stream overlays, and only the loopback address can reach it.

What the author says
A world that gets harder even when you're winning. Overwind turns a hardcore Minecraft world into a long-running series format: on day 1, and every 7–10 days after that, a permanent modifier gets bolted onto the world a danger, a handicap, a world-warping effect, or occasionally a blessing and it stays until a later…
