    The minecraft long covid mode is already on their page, actually, with no description of what it does:
    https://longcovideurope.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Long-COVID-Mode_Minecraft.zip
    They say it'll go up on CurseForge with a description. The ones for the other two mods probably give an idea what to expect. Haven't tested this, don't know if it's limited to java or bedrock or anything.

      The zip contains a PDF that describes it

      Experience life with Long COVID through your gaming character.

      Long COVID Mode - Minecraft 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 in Minecraft.

      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 harder.

      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.

      Please note:

      The intention of this mod is not to trivialize the condition of patients. It takes into account the symptoms that we are living through and turns them into in-game effects so that others can get a glimpse of life with conditions like Long COVID.
