Ever come back from a mining trip carrying half a mountain, a backup pickaxe, enough food for a week, and somehow still sprint home like nothing happened?

Encumbrance changes that.

This mod adds a weight system to your inventory, making what you carry actually matter. Stone, ores, tools, armor, building materials, loot… it all adds up. The more you load yourself down, the more you'll start to feel it.

Not in an annoying way. Not with arbitrary restrictions. Just enough to make you think a little more about what you're bringing with you before heading out.

What It Does
Every item in your inventory has a configurable weight value.

That includes:

Blocks

Tools

Weapons

Armor

Food

Resources

Modded items

Light items barely affect you.

Heavy loads start slowing you down.

That stack of cobblestone you swore you'd need? It might start feeling like a bad idea.

Weight Ranges
Weight values use a configurable range from 0.0 to 3.0.

Examples:

0.1 → Feathers, seeds, paper

0.5 → Food, leather, wool

1.0 → Most everyday items

2.0 → Stone, logs, ores

3.0 → Anvils, obsidian, metal blocks

Everything can be adjusted to fit your pack.

Want a harsher survival experience?

Make iron hurt.

Want a more relaxed adventure pack?

Tone it down.

Optional Realism Mode
For players who want survival to feel a little rougher.

Optional realism settings can increase the impact of heavy loads with things like:

Stronger movement penalties

Reduced sprint efficiency

Slight jump reduction

Entirely optional.

Turn it on if you want the extra challenge.

Leave it off if you just want smarter inventory management.

Built for Modpacks
Encumbrance automatically supports:

Vanilla items and blocks

Custom modded items

Full config editing

Decimal weight values

Example entries:

minecraft:stone = 2.0
minecraft:feather = 0.1
modid:steel_ingot = 1.8

If a mod adds new items, just assign them a weight and you're done.
