Unfaircraft
by junya
Unfaircraft changes vanilla mechanics in deliberately frustrating ways, so tools, food, chests, animals and villagers all behave less predictably.
What it does
The mod tweaks vanilla behaviours across the game. Tools, food, chests and even cows can act against the player, and anvils, trees and crops are altered as well. Some of the changes are intentional design choices that apply in the overworld, while others trigger during everyday actions such as sleeping or storing valuables. A Nightmare Mode exists but is disabled by default, and it should be enabled only by players who want the extra difficulty.
The mod depends on Luck, so the random outcomes it produces are tied to that library. It runs on both client and server, meaning the server and every player need it. Files are available for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1, with the latest builds published on 2026-04-28. The project was first released on 2025-07-22 and is open source under the MIT License, with public source code and an issue tracker.
Key features
Unfair vanilla mechanics
Core game mechanics are altered so that outcomes often go against the player's expectations.
Unpredictable containers
Chests can refuse or mishandle items, so storing valuables becomes a risk that needs planning.
Altered farming and nature
Trees, crops and even cows are changed, making gathering and farming less reliable than in vanilla.
Optional Nightmare Mode
A harder setting is available but disabled by default, and it can be turned on by the player.
