Minecraft, but if you touch grass you die
by Gamingbarn
Minecraft, but if you touch grass you die is a Minigame data pack in which contact with grass starts a fatal countdown for the player.
What it does
Once the challenge begins, touching grass kills a player quickly, so each player has to stay off grass to survive. The challenge starts after a player clicks a chat message or runs a command, and the game begins ten seconds later. Each player gets a platform to stand on, and one player's platform is made of bedrock at the world spawn point. Installation needs the server to run the mod, while players may add it on their side. The files are for 1.20.2 – 26.2 and are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest build V1.2.4-mod for 26.2 released on 2026-06-16.
