Wheel of Wacky
by HyperPigeon
Wheel of Wacky adds a carnival prize wheel that can reward or punish a player when it is spun, with spells defined through a data pack.
What it does
A spun wheel chooses a spell at random, and the result can either reward the player or punish them in a comical way. Spells are not fixed in the jar: a data pack creates each one with a display name, an optional title color and flavor text, an item that represents the slice, a casting time in ticks, and a mcfunction file holding the actual effect. The default target of a spell is the player who spun the wheel.
The wheel itself is found in the basement of Wheel Boy's dungeon prison, where it can be broken and collected, and a diamond pickaxe is the suggested tool for the job. The mod runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1 and is published across 1.21 – 1.21.1. Fabric users also need Sinytra Connector, Forgified Fabric API and Fabric API. Environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

What the author says
A mod that adds a carnival prize wheel that - when spun - has the chance to either fabulously reward or horrifically punish the player that spun the wheel in a hilarious fashion! You do not need Sinytra Connector and Forgified Fabric API if you are playing on Fabric.
