quizsurvival
by Zzai
Quiz Survival puts a question in front of most in-game actions: chopping, mining, fighting, jumping and opening containers each wait for an answer first.
What it does
Before a player can chop a tree, break an ore, strike a mob or even jump, a quiz question appears and must be answered correctly. Stone, dirt and other ores are separate categories, and melee and ranged attacks both trigger questions. A wrong answer leaves the attack without effect, so the target takes no harm. Opening crafting tables, chests and furnaces also requires a quiz.
The question bank ships with Minecraft trivia as the default. Server owners and players can swap it for subjects such as math, physics, English or history, so the mod can be used to learn any topic. Damage follows the mob's health tier: small mobs are defeated in one hit, medium mobs lose half their health, bosses take a fixed amount, and bows and crossbows deal a configurable 50 percent of melee damage. Quiz Survival is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under a custom license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
