Item Speedrun
Item Speedrun turns item collection into a timed minigame: a random item is picked, and the player races to obtain it in Survival.
What it does
Each round selects a target item at random from a set of categories, such as copper and iron ingots, lapis lazuli, light blue and light gray blocks, food crops, mob drops, redstone components, tools and potions. The player then tries to obtain that item as quickly as possible, and the mod shows how fast the search went. Some targets are limited to the Overworld, the Nether, the End, the ocean or underground, so the route depends on the item drawn.
The mod is meant for a player who wants a short goal to pursue while playing Survival, and for servers that want a shared challenge. Installation runs on Forge or NeoForge, and it must be present on the client and on the server. Files are available for 1.20.1 and 1.21.8, and the latest NeoForge build targets 1.21.8. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Random item selection
Each round draws one target item at random, so no two attempts follow the same route.
Dimension-limited targets
Some items can only be found in the Overworld, the Nether, the End, the ocean or underground, and the timer reflects that.
Category pools
Targets are grouped into pools such as food crops, mob drops, colorful blocks, redstone components and tools.
Speed readout
The mod shows how quickly the player found the chosen item, so attempts can be compared.

What the author says
Note: This mod is just a way for me to kill time. So with it in the full release now, I probably won't make many changes or additions unless I need to fix something crucial to the mod, or I get bored again and need something to do. Item Speedrun is a mod inspired by some of the categories within Speedrun.com's…
