Sanity And Insanity
by supermj767
Sanity and Insanity adds a sanity bar to Minecraft, where living conditions and food shift a player's mental state toward a healthy or harmful extreme.
What it does
Sanity and Insanity adds a sanity bar that sits above the health and hunger bars, so a player can watch it and keep it at a steady level. Vanilla-styled balancing sets how fast sanity rises and falls. A good environment and healthy food raise it, while a harsh environment, horrible food, low hunger and harmful things lower it. Fishing can yield soul food, and a player can obtain a pet dog. Fixing sanity and ruining sanity are both possible, depending on what the player eats and where the player stands.
When sanity drops low enough, a new Insanity effect is applied. The player then slowly dies while seeing visions, so the bar works as a warning. Trampling farmland is one of the harmful actions that can push sanity down. Sanity Commands let a server operator use the command sanity check to read a value or set sanity on target players. The mod is Forge-only and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for 1.17.1 only, with the 1.0.3 Forge file as the latest release, and it is released under All rights reserved; the code is not open source. An issue tracker is available for reports.
