Builder’s Burden

Builder’s Burden

Every block a player places increases that player’s gravity by 0.001.

Tracked per player: whoever builds gets heavier.

How it works

• Block placement is detected by a minecraft:placed_block advancement, which fires for any block placed by a player.
• The block count is stored in the builders_burden.placed scoreboard.
• Gravity is set through the minecraft:gravity attribute: 0.08 + 0.001 × blocks.

Commands

| Command | Effect |
|—|—|
| /function builders_burden:reset | Resets the counter and restores vanilla gravity. Must run as the player (/execute as <name> run function builders_burden:reset). |
| /scoreboard players get <name> builders_burden.placed | Shows how many blocks the player has placed. |

Configuration

The step is set in data/builders_burden/function/load.mcfunction, in thousandths:

scoreboard players set #step builders_burden.calc 1

1 = +0.001, 10 = +0.01, 50 = +0.05. Run /reload after editing. Gravity a player has already accumulated is recalculated on their next placed block.

Limitations

• The attribute caps at 1.0. With a step of 0.001 the cap is reached at block 920; gravity stops growing after that.
• Only blocks placed by a player count. Pistons, flowing liquids and world generation don’t.
