Guess The Block Minigame
by weinor
Guess The Block Minigame is a two-player game in which each side tries to name the block the other has picked from a row of hidden blocks.
What it does
Two players share a platform split into equal halves by a wall of red concrete, with a green concrete centre. Each half holds 48 random blocks, and every block is covered by a trapdoor so players cannot see it. The arena is placed with a single summon command, and the mod is distributed as a data pack or an installable mod.
A round starts when both players are in place. Each player chooses one block on the opponent's side, then takes turns asking questions about the hidden block's characteristics. Whoever first names the other player's chosen block wins. Chosen blocks drop a related item, such as gold for a gold block. After a match, the command can be run again to start another round.
The game is a server-side minigame: only the server needs the mod, and players join without installing anything. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with a single build covering 1.13 – 1.21.4.
Key features

Ninety-six random blocks sit under trapdoors, forty-eight on each side of the dividing wall.
