Random Powers
Random Powers is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that grants every player a permanent, randomly assigned ability the first time they join the world. Once awakened, a power stays with that player for good — no potions, no crafting, just a passive or activatable ability tied to who you are.
How It Works
The moment a player joins for the first time, they are granted one of 17 powers at random, with an equal chance of receiving any of them. A message announces which power has awakened, along with a short description of what it does. Players can check their own power at any time with the /mypower command.
Because each power is locked in per player, no two playthroughs — or two players on the same server — are guaranteed to feel the same.
