Food Shuffle
by MokeyCrue
Food Shuffle turns a multiplayer session into a race, with each online player given a random food item to find, craft and eat before a timer runs out.
What it does
When a match starts, the mod gives every online player an individually randomized food target. The target is shown on a pink notched boss bar above the screen, which displays the food's name. A player who eats the correct item before the bar empties is marked saved and stays in the match. A player whose bar reaches zero is struck by lightning and eliminated. The last player standing is declared grand champion.
Matches run through the foodshuffle command, which has two subcommands: one starts a new round and one stops the current match. Starting needs at least two players online and operator permission, and a new round cannot begin while one is already in progress. Stopping clears the boss bars, discards the rolled targets and resets the game state, and the mod posts a message in chat with a FoodShuffle prefix. Round-start warnings, eliminations and the victory announcement appear in chat the same way.
Food Shuffle is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 only, with the latest file 1.0.0 for 1.21.1. It is needed on both client and server, so the server and every player must run it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Individual food targets
Each online player receives a different random food item, so no two players are necessarily racing for the same thing.
Boss bar countdown
A pink notched boss bar above the screen shows the target food's name and the time left to eat it.
Elimination by lightning
A player whose timer expires is struck by a lightning bolt, and the last player still in the match wins.
Re-rolled targets
Targets are re-rolled each round, so a player knows only what they will be given next, not what follows.
Admin match control
Operators start a match with one subcommand and stop it with another, which clears the bars and resets the game.

What the author says
Picture this: you're calmly exploring the world when suddenly a pink bar appears at the top of your screen — "Find or Craft: Pumpkin Pie" And the worst part: it's shrinking. If you don't eat the right food before it hits zero... lightning strikes you down.
