Simplistic Karma
by NINEZIM
Simplistic Karma tracks a karma value for each player, changed by the mobs they kill, and it is a NeoForge game mechanics mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.4.
What it does
Each player holds a karma score that rises and falls with combat. Killing mobs classed as Evil adds 10 karma, killing mobs classed as Good subtracts 10, and killing neutral mobs leaves the score unchanged. The mod sorts mobs into three categories, and a list of which mob falls into which category is shown in the game.
The karma value is tied to the luck attribute, so a player's standing has an effect on gameplay. Glow Squid, Tropical Fish, Wandering Trader, Polar Bear and Trader Llama are among the mobs the mod places in its categories. Server owners and command users can inspect and change karma through commands.
Simplistic Karma runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is not open source. Files exist for 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, with version 1.0.0 for 1.21.4 as the latest NeoForge file.
Key features
Three mob categories
Mobs are grouped as Good, Evil or neutral, and each kill moves the player's karma accordingly.
Karma from kills
Killing an Evil mob adds 10 karma, a Good mob removes 10, and neutral mobs have no effect.
Luck attribute link
Karma is linked to the luck attribute, so a player's karma changes how luck works for that player.
Mob list
A list of mobs and their categories can be shown, so players can see which kills help or hurt karma.
Karma commands
Command users can view and adjust karma values, which suits server administration and testing.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Server karma systems
Server owners can build a moral scale into play, where the choice of targets affects each player's standing.
Who it’s for: Server owners and adventure map makers who want a karma value that responds to combat choices. Players who prefer vanilla mob handling can skip it, since the mod only changes behavior tied to kills and the luck attribute.
