Well, something I wonder often about my mc character is that he can carry 1.194.393.600!!!! Kilograms of gold (36 pouches of each 27 stacks with 64 blocks wich all weight 19200kg) and still run and jump like he wear nothing. And then I am like WHUT?????? So I am wondering or it is possible to add weight to each item, since many other survival-like games got (Ark, Fallout etc.) and when you carry to much you can't run and jump around anymore but since minecraft is a sandbox game I don't know or it is possible.

But if then a good thing will be: Gear and tools will weight as much as the stuff they are made of combined (like a stone pickaxe go the same weight as 3 cobblestone and 2 sticks) alloys are as heavy as the materials they are made of (iron and coal most of the time)  but only 1/4 of the weight of the coal added. Blocks made out of ingots/minerals weight 9 times as much as an ingot, stone (and rocks added by the mod) weight around the most (1x1x1m of solid rock is pretty heavy, yes I know metal is even heavier? but I think that for game pupose stone should be heavier bricks are only 5/6 of the stone weight and cobble 9/10 wood should be like 1/4 of stone and ingots should weight what 1x1x1 cm should weight (otherwise it won't be possible to even carry a set of gear) a pouch should weight as much as what is inside of it. Leather, fur or other hides (wool included) will weight 100 gram for each item, warg rug skins should weight 20kg each, troll statues 50kg each. Food will have no weight, nor will ammo (pebbles, arrows, darts, bolts) and you can only carry 200kg (that is like 5 times as much as you can carry in real life but ok it is a game) wich will make it a lot harder and if you come above it you can simply not jump and move like you got slownes 2, and fast traveling won't be possible aswell. Also ponies and donkeys can carry 500kg (but they have a smaller inventory, so this will balance them) BUT!!!! the weight of the player ontop of them is added to the weight they carry at the moment, so if you got 200kg on you and the pony got 301 he can simply not move and will trow you of.

I hope you like this idea and if you have anything to improve it or you are sure this is something wich isn't possible with the minecraft engine, please say it
