Friend or Foe
by ILikeFood971
Friend or Foe is a server-side Fabric mod that recreates the Friend or Foe YouTube series, with a configurable lives system, a tracker item and timed PvP rounds for a group of friends.
What it does
Once a round starts, each player is given a set number of lives, and every death removes one until a player reaches zero. The number of starting lives, the range of randomness and the timer are all set in the config file, and the mod generates that file the first time it runs. A player with zero lives is not allowed to join unless spectators are enabled in the config. The round can also be stopped at any time with a command.
The mod is run through commands. An operator adds players to a round, starts it with a level 3 command and can switch PvP on or off manually, with a number of minutes or a random duration when none is given. Rounds can start automatically after the start command, or the timer can be disabled. A new tracker item points at the targeted player, and that target can be changed as the round goes on. Players who join after a round has started can be added at any time. The lives count is stored per player and the round expires once the configured time has passed.
Friend or Foe is published for Fabric with 9 release versions, 1.19.4 – 1.21.1, and the latest file targets 1.21.1. It is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and the server needs Fabric API. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Lives system
Each death removes one life, and a player is out of the round when the count reaches zero.
Tracker item
A tracker item points at the targeted player and can be used to follow them through the current dimension.
Portal targeting
The tracker points at the player who went through a portal, so the chase follows them between dimensions.
Timed PvP rounds
The PvP timer starts automatically after a command or can be disabled, and it can be set manually or randomized.
