About this project
What does SpawnHunt add?
SpawnHunt is a Fabric mod that turns Minecraft into a scavenger hunt. You're given a random survival-obtainable item — go and find it. Play solo in a fresh world, or run a shared hunt for everyone on your server.

How It Works
Singleplayer
- Click SpawnHunt on the title screen
- You're shown a random target item — Reroll for a new one, or pick from the full List
- Choose whether to play Hardcore (on by default), hit Start, and a new world is created for you
- Find and collect the target item
- Your time is tracked, and your best runs are saved per item
Multiplayer
- Install SpawnHunt on your Fabric server (players don't need the mod installed)
- An OP runs
/spawnhunt start randomor/spawnhunt start <item> - Everyone on the server hunts the same item
- Players with the mod see the full HUD; players without see action bar and chat messages
- The moment someone collects the item, the hunt ends and the result is announced
Features
- 1,400+ target items — every survival-obtainable item in the game, randomly selected each run
- Singleplayer — built-in timer with pause awareness, saved run history and best times, Hardcore mode
- Multiplayer — server commands, automatic inventory scanning, works with vanilla clients
- Zero setup — one click to start a singleplayer hunt, one command to start a multiplayer one. No config files.
