Memory Loss (Fabric)

Have you ever wondered if you could beat Minecraft if you suddenly forgot how to craft basic survival blocks? Memory Loss is a survival challenge mod where your memory degrades over time, making you forget random recipes!


How It Works

Once the challenge is activated, a background timer starts ticking. Every few minutes (default: 5 minutes, fully customizable), you will suddenly forget how to craft a random item.

  • Complete Crafting Block: When you forget a recipe, it disappears from your Recipe Book. Additionally, you cannot craft it manually in either a Crafting Table (3x3) or your inventory (2x2). The output slot will simply remain empty!
  • Visual HUD: A clean indicator in the top-left corner keeps track of how many recipes you have forgotten.
  • Network Sync: Perfectly optimized for multiplayer! The server tells your client exactly what has been forgotten, preventing any desyncs or ghost items.

Difficulty Levels

Customize the challenge to fit your playstyle:

  • EASY: The mod will only make you forget weapons, tools, and armor (swords, pickaxes, helmets, shields, etc.).
  • NORMAL: Anything can be forgotten except for the absolute essentials: Crafting Tables, Furnaces, Chests, and Torches are safe.
  • HARDCORE: No mercy. Absolutely any recipe in the game can be lost at any moment.

Operator Commands (OP Level 2)

You can manage the challenge on the fly using the following commands:

  • /memory start — Starts the timer and begins the memory loss challenge.
  • /memory stop — Pauses the challenge.
  • /memory difficulty <easy/normal/hardcore> — Dynamically shifts the pool of forgettable recipes.
  • `/memory delay — Adjusts how often players forget recipes (e.g.,/memory delay 300` for 5 minutes).
  • /memory status — Shows the current state of the game, current difficulty, interval, and how many recipes you have personally forgotten.
  • /memory reset — Restores the memory of all players and unlocks all their recipes.

Requirements & Installation

  • Minecraft Version: 1.21 / 1.21.1
  • Mod Loader: Fabric Loader (>=0.15.0)
  • Required Dependency: Fabric API

This mod is fully client-server synchronized. It is recommended to install it on both the server and client for the best experience (visual indicators, recipe book clearing).
