Algorithm Meter 🎯
Your gameplay is content. The algorithm is always watching.
Algorithm Meter turns your Minecraft session into a live "Audience Retention Score" (0–100%). Every action you take — fighting, mining, parkouring, exploring — either hypes up the algorithm or bores it. Keep the score high for powerful loot and buffs. Let it hit 0% and face the consequences.
🔥 How It Works
Your retention score starts at 50% and changes every second based on what you do. A boss bar at the top of the screen shows your current score, tier, and active combo multiplier.
Tiers
| Score | Tier | Bar Color |
|---|---|---|
| 90%+ | VIRAL | Green |
| 75%+ | ON FIRE | Green |
| 50%+ | TRENDING | Yellow |
| 33%+ | WARM | Yellow |
| 20%+ | COOLING | Red |
| <20% | CANCELLED? | Red |
⬆️ Gain Retention (Hype)
| Action | Gain |
|---|---|
| Wind Charge launch | +15% |
| Critical hit on a mob | +8% |
| Killing a mob | +12% |
| Parkour jump (land a gap) | +5% |
| MLG water bucket clutch | +20% |
| Enemy combo (3+ hits on same mob) | +6% per hit |
| Mining ore | +2–10% (varies by ore) |
| Discovering new chunks | +10% |
| Clutch save (negate fatal fall damage) | +25% |
| Sprinting | +1% per second |
Combos 🏆
Hype actions back-to-back build a combo multiplier (up to x3.5). The more you chain within ~6 seconds, the bigger your rewards. Getting bored resets your combo to zero.
⬇️ Lose Retention (Boredom)
| Condition | Penalty |
|---|---|
| Standing still >10s | -1.5% per second |
| Strip-mining stone in place (>3 blocks) | -1% per extra block |
| Inside a chest/furnace/inventory >12s | -1% per second |
Running, jumping, fighting, and exploring never count as idle.
