Limited Life

by bikerboys

Limited Life is a minigame datapack for servers in which each player has a fixed life timer on a scoreboard, and running out of time ends that player's run.

What it does

Limited Life is distributed as a data pack on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and is the Limited Life mod for 1.21.1 across the 1.20.5 – 1.21.1 range. The timer is stored in scoreboard ticks, with 72000 ticks counting as one hour, so a player can be given an extra hour by adding that amount to their time. Setting the time to a value such as 1H30M is also possible. Server owners drive the game with function commands: a function starts the Grian's Limited Life setup, pauses and unpauses the timers, and can be run as a book the moderators receive, which adds every online player to the game.

Some players join late or leave the game, so the mod includes commands to add a player to a running game through a tag and an execute command. A revive command resets a dead player's timer, and a trigger gift lets players who are not operators give a portion of their time to the nearest player within 30 minutes. The server life series mode can also be paused and resumed at will.

Only the server needs the mod to run the game, and players can join without installing it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Scoreboard life timers

    Each player's remaining life is kept as a scoreboard value counted in ticks, so the timer runs down during play.

  2. Pause and unpause

    Timers can be paused and resumed for the whole server, for example while the group takes a break.

  3. Revive dead players

    A function sets a dead player's timer back to 1H30M, giving them a new run.

  4. Gift time to others

    Players who are not operators can use a trigger to give 30 minutes of time to the closest player.

Questions

Does Limited Life need to be installed on the client?

No. Players may skip it, since only the server needs the mod for the timers to run.

Which loaders does Limited Life support?

Limited Life is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with 1.0.0.0+mod for 1.21.1 as the latest file on each.

How are timers measured?

Timers are counted in ticks, and 72000 ticks equal one hour, so the scoreboard value can be adjusted with add or set commands.
