A mod for Minecraft that adds physics
Minecraft Physics Mod is a free mod for Minecraft, a popular sandbox-building game. The mod adds more realistic physics to the game, something that is not present by default. This includes a variety of types of physics, such as mob ragdoll physics and fracturing, particle blocks, and more.
As mentioned, this mod is built for Minecraft, so the user will need to own Minecraft if they want to use the mod. Additionally, the mod advertises many features that are only available in the "pro" version, which the user must pay for.
By default, the game of Minecraft does not include any physics beyond some simplistic representations of things like gravity when it comes to item drops or sand blocks. This mod introduces more realistic physical interactions to the world, including gravity. For example, item drops behave more like actual items that have been dropped rather than something floating to the ground.
The vanilla state of Minecraft has very limited effects for things like blocks being broken, in keeping with the simplistic art style. This mod adds things like crumbling blocks, where the blocks break into pieces and the pieces react physically with each other. There are similar effects for mobs, as well as more physically reactive fire particles.
In its free state, this mod only adds a handful of features to Minecraft. There are many more features available in the pro version, but that is not free. Still, fans of Minecraft who are looking to give the game a new feel may want to consider trying this mod.
