Summary

VS Encumbrance adds a realistic weight system to Minecraft by integrating directly with Valkyrien Skies 2 block mass data.

Instead of using arbitrary item weights, this mod reads the actual kilogram values defined by Valkyrien Skies and applies movement penalties based on how much mass a player is carrying. Heavy construction materials, machinery, and ship components will slow you down naturally, encouraging better planning, logistics, and use of vehicles or ships for transport.

(Total carrying capacity displayed below the inventory, configurable)
