I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Dangerous Shafts is a small addon for the popular Create mod that adds a touch of realism to rotating shafts and cogwheels.
Features
- Exposed shafts and cogwheels deal damage while rotating.
- Damage scales with rotational speed.
- Andesite Casing reduces shaft damage by 50%.
- Brass Casing completely blocks shaft damage.
- Encased cogwheels deal 90% less damage.
- The mod also adds its own advancement tree.
Pain Shock Mechanic
Dangerous Shafts introduces a simple pain shock mechanic.
When a player is injured by a rotating shaft or cogwheel, they will suffer from:
- Blindness
- Weakness
- Slowness
The player is also knocked away from the source of the impact, simulating a natural reflexive reaction to sudden danger.
