Random Events
by ZhiMeow
Random Events, a Fabric server mod, periodically triggers one of 20 random events for the players on a server, half of them helpful and half of them harmful.
What it does
Once every minute something happens on the server: the mod picks one event at random from a pool of 20, ten good and ten bad, and fires it for every player at the same moment. Players never know in advance whether the next event will help or hurt them, which keeps the server on edge.
The server requires the mod, while a client may leave it out. Fabric API is required as a dependency and must be installed alongside it. Servers can change the events and timing through an in-game YACL config screen, which needs ModMenu on the client. Commands are restricted to operators with permission level 2, and the mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
An optional countdown display in the top-right corner of the screen shows how long remains until the next event, and the interface text is translatable, with English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese included. The author welcomes contributions for additional languages.

Use cases
Server events

Who it’s for: Server owners who want scheduled surprises for their players, and players who join servers that run the mod. The server side needs operator access to adjust the commands.
