Hide-n-Seek
Hide-n-Seek is a server-side minigame in which hiders are given a head start to conceal themselves before seekers are released to find them.
What it does
Hiders are forced to hide away on the map while the seekers wait, and once the timer runs out the seekers are released. Seekers receive a tracking compass that points toward nearby hiders, and hiders can attack seekers for a set period. Announcements, item grants and timed events are configured through a JSON file, with examples generated after the server is first run.
The mod supports several seekers in one round and exposes game values such as timers and item amounts in its config. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, for 1.19.4 only, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Fabric API is required on either loader.

Timed hider head start

Seeker tracking compass
Seekers receive a tracking compass for a fixed period to help locate hiders on the map.
Hider counterattacks
