homerun

by epie3083

homerun turns a server-side Forge field into a home run derby minigame, with a play area set by command and a ball thrown by a Wandering Trader.

What it does

Operators mark out the field first by running a setpos command that takes two opposite corners of a rectangle. After that the area is kept as a fixed play zone, and walls made of barrier blocks form its boundary during a game. The area is not saved across server restarts or world reloads, so the position has to be set again after either one.

A round starts with a Prepare Game step, after which a player standing inside the defined field runs the homerun command to take part. Start Game then summons the barrier walls and a ball carried by a Wandering Trader, and the derby begins. The mod is a minigame for servers and is licensed under the MIT License as open source. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with version 1.0 as the latest build from 2025-09-14.

Key features

  1. Field area setup

    A command sets the play area from two opposite corners, and the area is defined once per server session.

  2. Barrier boundaries

    Walls made of barrier blocks are summoned around the field to keep the ball and players inside the play zone.

  3. Prepare and start steps

    The game is split into a preparation step, where a player joins the field, and a start step that brings in the ball.

  4. Wandering Trader ball

    A ball is summoned with a Wandering Trader to be used in the home run derby round.

Questions

Does homerun need to be installed on the client?

No. Only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything.

Why does the field need to be set again after a restart?

The play area is not saved across server restarts or world reloads, so the setpos command must be run again.

Which Minecraft version does homerun support?

Files are published for Forge on 1.20.1 only, with version 1.0 as the latest build.
