Phobias

by SarkBM

Phobias is a NeoForge minigame mod that gives each player a set of fears which alter how they play, and a crafted Potion of Bravery that counters them.

What it does

Each player is assigned one phobia on their first join to a world, and that phobia stays the same after every respawn. Six phobias exist in total. When a phobia is triggered it applies the Fear effect, and the effects tied to a given phobia can include Weakness, Mining Fatigue and Nausea. Because the assignment persists, a player keeps the same fear through death.

The mod is meant to add tension to survival and minigame sessions. Players can craft a Potion of Bravery to counter their phobia, so the fear becomes a problem to plan around rather than a permanent penalty. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge only, for the 1.21.8 and 1.21.11 game versions, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, and the author thanks mechanikate for the 1.21.11 port.

What the author says

This mod adds phobias which affect your gameplay. You are attributed one the first time you join a world and everytime you respawn. When triggered, these give you the Fear effect. This effect does nothing on its own but gives you Weakness, Mining Fatigue as well as Nausea. You can, however, counter these phobias by…
