Kenshin's Hide And Seek
by kenshineto
Kenshin's Hide And Seek brings a block hunt minigame to Fabric servers, where one side hides as blocks and the other side seeks them.
What it does
Players take turns as hiders, who disguise themselves as blocks, and seekers, who search the map to find them. Hiders can receive a glow power-up that briefly shows nearby seekers, and the rules differ between the regular hide and seek mode and the block hunt mode, which is switched in the config file. Several maps can be set up on one server, and scoreboards can be customized to show the state of a round.
Wins, losses, kills and deaths are stored in a database, so results carry over between rounds. The mod needs Architectury API, Fabric Language Kotlin and PacketEvents to run. It is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source code, issue tracker and wiki are public. Files cover 1.8 – 26.3 for Fabric, with 2.3.0 for 26.3 as the latest beta file, published 2026-10-11.
