About the Tharidia Project

Tharidia is an ambitious Minecraft roleplay server project set in a medieval fantasy world. The server features complex, custom mechanics that significantly diverge from vanilla Minecraft gameplay, creating a unique roleplay experience focused on medieval life with fantasy elements.

The Tharidia Project consists of multiple interconnected mods that work together to create this immersive experience. Simple Weight is one of these modular components, extracted from the main Tharidia Things mod to allow for independent deployment and maintenance alongside other Tharidia mods.

What This Mod Does

Tharidia: Simple Weight implements a realistic weight system that affects player movement based on their inventory load. This mechanic adds a layer of realism and strategic inventory management to the Tharidia roleplay experience.
