Hunger Games Mini Games
by Smiley_53
Hunger Games Mini Games, a NeoForge minigame by Smiley_53, lets server owners and players run a configurable Hunger Games match with rules they set.
What it does
Players can recreate the original Hunger Games format as closely as they like, or build their own rule set from scratch. Every aspect of a round is adjustable, including game settings, the time limits, the player zones and the events that occur during play. A round moves through distinct phases from start to finish, so the match has a clear beginning, middle and end, and the last participant standing wins.
The mod is intended for both competitive servers and friendly games between a few people, and its configuration stays simple while still allowing special events and personalised mechanics. Each round is started by a launch action, after which the configured rules apply. The author describes the result as a balanced, repeatable Hunger Games experience.
Installation requires NeoForge for 1.21.8, and the mod is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved. It runs on the client and the server, so both need it. Files are published for 1.21.8 only, with 1.0.2 as the latest build from 2026-02-07.
Key features
Configurable game rules
Game settings, time limits, player zones and the rules of each round can be adjusted before a match starts.
Round phases
A match is divided into phases from beginning to end, so the structure of each game follows a set sequence.
Special events
Scheduled or triggered events can change the course of a round, adding personalised mechanics to the match.
Launchable matches
A round is started with a launch action, and it ends once only one player survives.
