Keep Moving

Name: Keep Moving
Author: NullSu

Keep Moving is a Cursed minigame-style mod that drains health from players who stop walking, and it is set up by the server.

What it does

When a player is in a state the mod defines as standing still, the player loses one health point every five ticks. Only the server needs the mod installed, so players join without installing anything. Keep Moving runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack build is also published for server platforms that use one.

The health loss ends once the player starts moving again, and the timer counts from the respawn point: after a respawn, a player must stay in motion for at least 60 ticks before the penalty stops applying. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.4 on all four loaders. The source code is open source under the BSD 2-Clause License, and an issue tracker is public.

Key features

Health drain while idle
A player who stays still loses one health point every five ticks, which keeps everyone on the move.
Movement check
The penalty only applies while the player is not moving, so walking or running clears it right away.
Respawn grace period
After a respawn, the player has to keep moving for at least 60 ticks before the penalty can apply again.

Use cases

Minigame servers

Server owners can use the rule as a challenge on minigame servers where standing still is punished.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want a movement-based challenge for their players. Players need nothing installed, since only the server runs the mod.
