DeathChallenge
by Goshi
DeathChallenge adds a Fabric minigame in which players fight to be the last one alive in a death swap, with a shop, cards and a new hotbar.
What it does
Players start a round from a new screen opened with Tab. During an active game they can spend currency in a Card Shop screen to buy cards that change how the round plays. The mod also adds a new inventory button that opens a portable ender chest, and a new hotbar at the top of the inventory screen where power-ups bought in the game are stored and used.
Each round sets a trap at a point and a time frame, and when the time ends players are moved to swapped locations. The first player to die loses. Fabric API must be installed on the same side as the mod. The mod runs on client and server, so a multiplayer server and every player taking part need it, and it works in singleplayer too. Files exist for Minecraft 1.21 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest Fabric file, released 2026-06-22 under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Round-based trap swaps
A round creates a trap at a set point within a time frame, then swaps player locations when the time runs out.
Card Shop
A shop screen lets players buy cards during an active game to change the way the round plays.
Four unique powers
The mod includes four powers, among them cancel, draw, revive and coin flip, usable from the hotbar.
Portable ender chest button
A new inventory button acts as a personal portable ender chest, available alongside the game.

Use cases
Playing with friends
A group of friends on a multiplayer server can run rounds together and compete to stay alive the longest.
Who it’s for: Players who want a competitive party game on a Fabric server or in singleplayer, and server owners who want a shared minigame for their community.
How it compares
Inventory Link is a server-side only Fabric mod, released under the Apache License 2.0, built for 1.21.11 and not a minigame. MineNO runs on the client and server for 1.21.5 – 1.21.6, released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which is not open source. veryHotbar is client-side only, covers 1.21 – 1.21.11 and is published under the Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 license, not open source, so it changes the hotbar alone without any game rounds.

What the author says
This is a fun mod that allows you and your friends to play a fun game together. The point of the game is to create a trap in the time frame and after the time ends your location swap and see who dies first. You maybe have sawn other mods, plugins that do the exact same thing but heres the twist. Most of the times…
