Sweat to Fit

Players start with a very weak character and raise it through physical training. Exercises such as squats, push-ups and sit-ups build individual attributes, and a skill panel opened with K shows where each stat stands. Progress is slow on purpose: the first skill levels come quickly, but reaching the cap of level 100 takes sustained effort, and each attribute has its own track.

Trained stats feed into gameplay. Combat power raises melee damage and attack speed, a bow or crossbow draws faster, block breaking goes quicker, and maximum health and running or walking speed grow. Actions such as breaking blocks use up food, and the hunger cost of play is higher than in vanilla, with the starting character taking half damage and consuming food five times faster.

The mod is built for a narrow audience that wants a cursed, grinding experience. It embeds the Craft Takes Time mod, which lengthens crafting so that the wait between crafting sessions becomes part of training. It requires Cardinal Components API, Cloth Config API, Fabric API, TieredZ and oωo (owo-lib), and it adds to the chance of getting good modifiers when crafting or reforging TieredZ tools. Files are for Fabric and 1.20.1 only, under the MIT License, with source code and an issue tracker available. The server and every player need the mod installed.
