Wheel of Misfortune
by bartich
Wheel of Misfortune is a Fabric survival challenge mod where a spin at world creation assigns gameplay modifiers for the run.
What it does
When a world starts, a window opens where the player chooses a modifier, and the chosen modifier changes the rules of play. A modifier can also be used to change another modifier, which lets a run stack several effects.
The mod is built mainly for singleplayer challenge runs and for speedruns that use modifiers as a handicap. It is in beta and the author notes that bugs exist. Only the client and server environment is listed, and Fabric API is required, so both the server and every player need the mod with Fabric API installed.
Latest build 0.1.0-beta covers game version 1.21.11 on the beta channel, first published and last updated on 2026-02-19. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Modifier selection at world start
A window at world creation lets the player pick one modifier that changes the rules for that world.
Size and view modifiers
Giant and Tiny modes change the player's size, while minimal render distance limits how far terrain loads.
Control and language changes
Inverted mouse and random language alter how the player sees and controls the game.
Modifier chaining
A modifier can be used to change another modifier, so a run can combine effects.
