ResourceCraft
by JoshuaDoes
ResourceCraft replaces vanilla mob and item spawning with a seed-based, finite resource system for Fabric on 26.1.2.
What it does
Spawning in ResourceCraft is deterministic. Each world seed fixes where mobs and inhabitants appear, so a given cave or biome holds the same population every time it is generated. Dense clusters of inhabitants in locations such as Ancient Cities and Warped Forests stay persistent rather than shifting with random respawn loops, which makes encounters repeatable for players who want a fixed challenge.
Several resources become finite. Arrows, including those shot by players and by skeletons through Infinity bows, have a limited life cycle, and skeleton fire is no longer an endless supply. Each shot can be picked up again, and arrows lodged in a mob fall to the ground when it dies. Item entities also never despawn from age and stay in the world until a player picks them up.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It requires Fabric API and MidnightLib. ResourceCraft is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only and is published for 26.1.2 alone, with its source code, issue tracker and wiki publicly linked.
Key features
Seed-based spawning
Mob and zombie spawns in fixed caves follow the world seed, so the same locations hold the same inhabitants.
Finite arrows
Arrows have a limited life cycle, and skeleton fire is no longer an endless supply.
Health cost for combat
Hitting a block costs 1 HP and hitting a mob costs 2 HP, with the player's health capped at 6.
Arrow recovery
Arrows that land or stick in a mob can be picked up, and those in a dead mob drop to the ground.
Permanent item entities
Dropped items remain in the world until a player picks them up instead of despawning with age.
Tunable mechanics
Many gameplay mechanics can be adjusted in real time through the Mod Menu configuration screen.

Use cases
Hardcore and speedrun play
Players who want consistent, high-demand survival runs can rely on spawns that do not change between attempts.
Server-side resource pacing
Server owners can run the mod alone so that only the host sets how arrows and items behave for everyone who joins.
Who it’s for: The mod suits hardcore survival players, speedrunners and server owners who want finite ammunition and repeatable spawns in a world built on Fabric for 26.1.2.
