Feathers - Stamina System for Minecraft

Feathers presents an elegant and seamlessly integrated stamina system for Minecraft gameplay. This mod adds an indicator in the form of blue feathers above the hunger bar that other mods can use as a stamina consumption mechanism.

The number of feathers available to the player directly depends on the weight of their armor. The system automatically calculates the weight of any armor in the game, but these values can be modified in the mod settings if needed. Additionally, Feathers includes a set of potions that affect the feather mechanics, and a simple API for developers wanting to add support for this system to their projects.

Armor Weight and Its Impact

Every armor item in the game (both standard and from mods) now has a specific weight. This parameter affects the number of feathers the player can use - displayed as steel feathers.

This mechanic forces players to make strategic decisions in combat that previously had no significance. Higher quality armor provides better protection but limits maneuverability, while light armor makes the character more vulnerable to damage but provides more stamina for active actions.

Potion Effects

Feathers adds three new potion effects to the game that are displayed on the feather bar in a style consistent with vanilla Minecraft:

🏅 Endurance: Adds additional feathers above the main bar, similar to how the absorption effect affects health.

⚡ Energized: Significantly speeds up feather regeneration.

⛄ Cold: Feathers stop regenerating while this effect is active.

Compatibility with Other Mods

The Feathers system is already used by several popular mods:

💨 Elenai Dodge 2 - uses feathers for dodging attacks

💎 Actions of Stamina - makes running, jumping, and crawling consume stamina

Developers can easily integrate Feathers into their projects thanks to the simple API. The system is ideal for mods that require stamina consumption for various character actions.
