Hot Potato
by Thorminate
Hot Potato is a Fabric minigame in which a player holding the potato must pass it on before the timer runs out.
What it does
Hot Potato adds a simple hot potato game mode. A player who right-clicks another player transfers the potato to them, and a shield gives a cooldown that blocks transfers for a while. If the bearer's timer runs out, that player becomes doomed and a countdown starts; anyone who is still in the game when the countdown ends dies immediately. The stop command ends a round early, and passing true as its argument pardons the doomed players.
Client and server: both the server and every player need the mod. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with files for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 across three release versions.
