The mod adds a jinxing mechanic to the game, in which completing various tasks, such as mining a boulder or picking a berry bush, can trigger a hostile creature spawn, or even an ambush event. Most jinx effects will result in the player taking damage easier. However, Ron has increased health and defense to balance this out.

The jinx also changes and adds new behaviors to the game. The most common effect is hostile mobs having a preference to the victim over other entities, along with having an increased targeting range. Spawners are also affected. For instance, spider dens have a tendency to spawn a tougher variant of the spider, the spider warrior. Also, volcanic meteors will target the victim in Shipwrecked if not protected.

Ron can also build a doll of himself, called the Jinxed Doll, that retains his jinxing effects. Its usage includes being an alternative target for hostile mobs, or allowing characters other than Ron to experience the jinx's effects.


Clovers are the main way of combating Ron's jinx. Ron has a chance to find clovers from flowers and trees.

A number of luck giving items have been added to the game, most, if not all, requiring clovers as crafting ingredients. These items have the ability to prevent the jinx.
