# Overburden
\nOverburden adds a carry weight system to Minecraft.
\nEvery item in your **main inventory**, **hotbar**, and **offhand** adds weight equal to its **stack size**. Armor doesn’t count. Go over your limit and you’ll slow down \u2014 push it too far and it gets dangerous.<\/p>\n
## How It Works
\n– Base max weight: **100**
\n– Weight = stack size, no categories
\n– Armor slots ignored
\n– Over your limit:
\n – Sprinting disabled
\n – **Slowness I** applied continuously
\n– Drop back under and penalties clear immediately<\/p>\n
## Upgrades
\nSpend XP levels to permanently raise your carry limit.
\n– Each upgrade: **+10 max weight**
\n– Cost: `5 * (current level + 1)` XP levels
\n – 1st upgrade: **5 levels**
\n – 2nd upgrade: **10 levels**
\n – 3rd upgrade: **15 levels**
\n– No cap<\/p>\n
## Overload Penalties
\nThe further over your limit the worse it gets:
\n– **30+ over**: increased fall damage
\n– **50+ over**: even short falls hurt
\n– **100+ over**: you take crush damage over time \u2014 the HUD will warn you<\/p>\n
## UI
