Chaosaholic

Level up. Unleash chaos. Survive it.

Chaosaholic turns every level-up into a dice roll. Each time you gain an experience level, a random chaos
event starts. Sometimes it’s a gift (double ores, Speed III, a chest falling from the sky). Sometimes it’s a
disaster (TNT rain, an anvil storm, a swarm of angry bees). And sometimes it just makes no sense (every mob nearby
turns into a chicken). Farm XP at your own risk.

A Fabric mod for Minecraft Java 26.2–26.3.

Features

• 🎲 Every level is a roll: gain a level, get a random event. 30 of them, in three flavours.
• 🍀 Good, 😈 Bad, 🌀 Weird: 9 blessings, 10 disasters and 11 things that make no sense at all.
• 🔥 Chaos stacks: level up mid-event and another one starts; roll the same one again and it lasts longer.
• ⏱️ Always readable: a coloured boss bar for each active event shows the time left, and a title or an actionbar
  line and a sound tell you what just happened.
• ⚠️ Fair warning: TNT Rain, Anvil Rain, Lightning Storm, Mob Surprise and Bee Swarm give you 3 seconds to run
  (4 on Hardcore), hazards never land right on you, and every event has a safety cap.
• 🚫 No farming: only levels above your best since your last death count. Spend levels at the enchanting table,
  earn them back: nothing happens.
• 🔁 Everything goes back: chickens turn back into the mobs they were, tiny things grow back, the sun comes back,
  and spawned mobs, bees and party sheep vanish when the event ends, even after a crash.
• 👥 Solo or everyone: events hit only the player who levelled up, or every player in the same dimension.
• ⚙️ Toggle anywhere: an ON/OFF button at world creation, plus operator commands to turn the mode on or off,
  switch single events off, change how often each one rolls, or trigger one on purpose.
• 🔕 Your call on noise: turn the event sound, the messages or the screen effects (camera shake) off, through
  Mod Menu or /chaosaholic-notify. Boss bars and danger warnings always come through.
• 🌍 English and Russian out of the box.

What it does

When Chaosaholic Mode is on, each experience level a player gains does the following:

1. Skipped cases: players in Creative or Spectator.
2. Only new levels count: a level counts only if it’s above the highest level you’ve reached since your last
   death. Levels spent at an enchanting table, an anvil or a grindstone and earned back start nothing. Dying resets
   it: after respawning, your best is the level you respawn with (0 normally, your kept level with keep_inventory).
3. One level, one event: three levels at once start three events, one second apart (at most 10 waiting).
4. Roll: one random event from the events that are switched on in this world. Good, Bad and Weird are all in
   the same pool. An event that can’t happen right now (Swap with no mob around) is rerolled.
5. Warning (dangerous events only): TNT Rain, Anvil Rain, Lightning Storm, Mob Surprise and Bee Swarm show a ⚠
   warning on the actionbar and play a rising ping for 3 seconds (4 on Hardcore) before anything happens.
6. Start: Bad events show their name as a red title with a short subtitle. Good (green) and Weird (purple) events
   show up on the actionbar. A sound plays.
7. Countdown: a boss bar in the category colour shows the event and the time left. Several events can run at
   once (up to 8), each with its own bar. Rolling one you already have extends it instead (180 s at most). Instant
   events (Chest from the Sky, Swap, Random Teleport) just happen, with no bar.
8. Cleanup: when the time is up, the event undoes itself: effects end, spawned mobs, bees and party sheep are
   removed, chickens turn back, the time of day is restored. Leaving, dying, changing dimension or switching to
   Creative ends it for you at once.

Difficulty and Hardcore settings are never changed, and events respect them: Mob Surprise, Bee Swarm and Hunger
Games never start on Peaceful, difficulty sets the size of mob waves, and Hardcore gets a longer warning, longer TNT
fuses and no lethal TNT, anvil or bee hits.

Notification settings

Every event shows a title or an actionbar line and plays a sound. Each player can change that for themselves:

• With Mod Menu installed, open Mods → Chaosaholic → the config button, and
  switch Event sound, Event messages and Screen effects.
• Without Mod Menu, use the client command /chaosaholic-notify sound off, /chaosaholic-notify message off,
  /chaosaholic-notify effects off, or /chaosaholic-notify status.

Settings are stored on your computer in config/chaosaholic.json and apply on any server that runs Chaosaholic.
Players who join without the mod on their client get the default title and sound, but no camera shake.
Boss bars and danger warnings are always shown, whatever you pick.

Commands (operators)

In single-player these need cheats: Allow Commands on, or Open to LAN with Allow Cheats on.

The events

Durations are random within the range. An event never has more than 180 s left, even after it’s extended.

🍀 Good

😈 Bad

🌀 Weird

Install

1. Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 26.2 or 26.3, and run the game on Java 25.
2. Put Fabric API and chaosaholic-<version>.jar in your mods/ folder.
   Optional: Mod Menu for the settings screen.
3. Turn the mode on in one of two ways:
   • New world: Create World → Game tab → Chaosaholic Mode (right below Difficulty) is ON by default
     (switch it off there for a normal world).
   • Existing world or dedicated server: an operator runs /chaosaholic on (/chaosaholic status shows the
     current state). Worlds made without the button (dedicated servers, other launchers) start with it off.

The mod is needed on the server. On the client it adds the Create World button, the settings screen and camera
shake; players without it can still join and play.

Known quirks

• Double XP can level you up, and a level-up rolls another event. That’s the point, but XP farms get very lively.
• Eternal Night changes the time for the whole dimension, not just for you, and nobody can sleep it away.
• Screen Shake is invisible without the mod on your client (or with screen effects off): you just get the boss bar
  and the sound.
• Upside Down Names renames mobs Dinnerbone for a while (the name shows when you look straight at a mob); pets and
  name-tagged mobs get their names back at the end.
• Chicken Apocalypse is permanent for a chicken that dies: the original mob is gone with it.
• Tiny World shrinks your reach and step height along with you (that’s vanilla’s scale attribute).
• TNT Rain follows the mob_griefing game rule: with it on, the TNT breaks blocks like normal TNT.
• Milk only helps for a second: an event’s effects come back until the event ends.
