By
Alyaaa

DASuperiorWeight adds a realistic weight system to Minecraft. Items have custom weights (e.g., pickaxe = 1.3 kg), shown in a HUD. The mod tracks total carried weight client-side and server-side, allowing gameplay effects like movement slowdown or limits.

Description

📢 DASuperiorWeight V2.1 is available!

New client-side features!
Server-side OP-Only Commands added!

⚖️ DASuperiorWeight

DASuperiorWeight adds a realistic weight and carry limit system to Minecraft. Every item in your inventory has a weight. Perfect for medieval roleplay, survival, and hardcore servers—add immersion and challenge to your Minecraft world!

🎒 Base Item Weights

Metal blocks (iron, gold, copper): 5kg each
Tools: 2kg each
Other blocks: 1kg each

👁️ Dynamic HUD & Movement

Your total weight is shown in a customizable HUD, which can be moved around the screen (Default: H) and toggled between two display styles (Default: J): Classic (kg) or Bar (lbs with colored bar). All preferences are saved per player!

🟢 Below 234kg: Normal movement (HUD green)
🟠 234kg – 456kg: You become slower (HUD orange)
🔴 Above 456kg: Max slowness (HUD red)

⚙️ Admin Commands (OP Only)

/weight thresholds <orange> <red>
Sets the global slow-movement thresholds. (e.g., /weight thresholds 234 456)

/weight maxbar <value>
Sets the max value used to compute HUD bar fill (visual scale only).

/weight item <item> <kg>
Overrides the per-item weight. (e.g., /weight item minecraft:iron_block 7)

/weight bonus <player> <kg>
Adds/removes a capacity bonus for players. Can be negative. Added to both thresholds.

/weight multiplier <player> <mult>
Applies a multiplier (0.1 to 10.0) to a player's carried weight in server calculations.

/weight show [player]
Prints global server settings, or a specific player's personal overrides.

/weight reload
Reloads server_settings.json from disk and re-syncs clients.

💡 Survival Tips

Use item overrides to finely tune heavy blocks/tools beyond the defaults.
Prefer bonus for roleplay perks/gear (knapsacks, strength training).
Use multiplier for "lightweight" traits or debuffs (e.g., injuries).

🎒 Companion Resource Packs
