Overburdened

Overburdened

**Overburdened** is a Minecraft mod for NeoForge 1.21.1 that introduces dynamic weight mechanics to items and the player’s inventory, bringing a new layer of strategy and realism to survival gameplay.

No longer can you carry infinitely large stacks of heavy blocks without consequence. In **Overburdened**, every item has weight, and carrying too much will actively hinder your movement.

Features

• Dynamic Encumbrance System: Calculates total inventory weight in real-time.
• Progressive Movement Penalties:
  • Light Load: No penalties.
  • Encumbered: Mild Slowness effect applied.
  • Overburdened: Significant Slowness effect, sprinting is disabled.
  • Immobilized: Movement speed is reduced to near zero.
• Configurable Weights: All item weights are fully customizable via JSON config files. Modpack authors can easily balance the system.
• Visual Integration: (Optional) Integrates with standard HUD elements to display encumbrance level.

Configuration

The mod generates a overburdened-server.json configuration file where you can define:

• Global Capacity: The base weight capacity for all players.
• Item Weights: Specific weight values for individual items and blocks (e.g., minecraft:stone, minecraft:anvil).
• Penalty Thresholds: Adjust when different movement penalties apply.

P.S.: This mod is still a PoC, bugs may exist.
