Chat games
by Anbuleon
Chat Games runs small question-and-answer mini games in the chat window, where players race to type the correct answer for a reward.
What it does
The mod adds automated chat challenges such as math word scramble, reverse words, trivia, Fast Math multiplication and a reaction game. The server posts a question, the first player to answer correctly is rewarded, and the game then starts again after a cooldown. Harder difficulty settings use bigger numbers and tougher questions, and a timeout ends a round that nobody answers.
Consecutive wins raise the XP reward, up to a 3x multiplier, while a wrong answer resets the streak. Rewards can be random items drawn from a configurable reward pool, with a chance for rare items drawn from separate rare pools. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it has to be on the server to run games. Files exist for Fabric. The code is open source under the MIT License. The latest file is 1.2.0 for 1.21.11, released 2026-02-20.
