Level = Border Challenge
by LeLe-YT
Level = Border Challenge starts a Fabric world with a world border only one block wide, and the border grows as the player gains experience levels.
What it does
The challenge begins with the border set to a 1x1 area around a spawn point. The spawn is placed in a generated tree, so the player stands on it at the start, and a player who falls off the small platform has few options to recover. Each experience level raises the border size by a configurable number of blocks, which makes gaining experience the only way to expand the playable area.
The mod is a configurable minigame for survival and adventure play on a server. An in-game interface with a gray-glass design holds the settings, which can be changed while the world is running. Starting width, the number of blocks added with each level, and whether standing outside the boundary hurts the player are all configurable, and a single command begins the run by narrowing the boundary, growing a tree at spawn and moving the player onto it. Fabric API is required. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod. The mod is published for Fabric across six release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, under All rights reserved, and it is not open source.
Key features
Experience-based border growth
The border size is tied to the player's experience level, so each level gained widens the area available for exploring and mining.
Custom spawn
The challenge teleports the player to a spawn where a tree is generated automatically, and the player starts on it.
Live configuration screen
A settings screen can be opened during play, and changes take effect without restarting the world.
Adjustable start and growth
Start size, blocks per level and border damage are all set in the configuration, so the difficulty can be tuned.
