Long COVID Difficulty [FABRIC]

 Long COVID Mode is a mod created to shed light on how an estimated 65+ million Long COVID patients worldwide are living life on a whole new level of difficulty. Based on the experiences of the patients from our organisation, Long COVID Europe, this mod turns real Long COVID symptoms into in-game effects.

Be ready to go through your day with limited energy and as little life force as possible. There will be a chance of exertion intolerance kicking in every time you move (denoted by the battery icon). If you don’t stand still for a while, it will evolve to exertion with dizziness. If you still don’t stop moving, it will result in Post-Exertion Malaise (PEM) which will drain you almost entirely.

Cognitive dysfunction a.k.a Brain Fog:

Lowered concentration – You will mine ores inefficiently and end up only with the stone from those blocks.

Losing track of time – Occasionally, time will pass without you realising.

Weak memory – You will leave things behind without realising.

Reduced focus – Hitting your target with a bow will become extremely difficult.

Shortness of breath – Many quick moments will leave you immobile for 2.5-5 seconds.

Digestive problems – Sometimes, even eating will hurt.

Compromised lungs – Underwater expeditions will get a whole lot tougher.

Insomnia – You will lie awake in bed for longer.

Bad sleep – You might wake up several times in the middle of the night and feel more exhausted in the morning.
