Overburden adds a carry weight system to Minecraft. Every item in your main inventory, hotbar, and offhand adds weight equal to its stack size. Armor doesn't count. Go over your limit and you'll slow down — push it too far and it gets dangerous.
How It Works
- Base max weight: 100
- Weight = stack size, no categories
- Armor slots ignored
- Over your limit:
- Sprinting disabled
- Slowness I applied continuously
- Drop back under and penalties clear immediately
Upgrades
Spend XP levels to permanently raise your carry limit.
- Each upgrade: +10 max weight
- Cost:
5 * (current level + 1)XP levels- 1st upgrade: 5 levels
- 2nd upgrade: 10 levels
- 3rd upgrade: 15 levels
- No cap
Overload Penalties
The further over your limit the worse it gets:
- 30+ over: increased fall damage
- 50+ over: even short falls hurt
- 100+ over: you take crush damage over time — the HUD will warn you
