Race To Spawn Mod (R2S)
by Fland_Ho
Race To Spawn Mod is a Fabric minigame that turns a random teleport into a timed race back to world spawn on a server.
What it does
Racers who join are dropped at a random point within 2500 blocks on the X and Z axes and receive 10 seconds of invulnerability. Each one then has to find a way back to the spawn point. Every racer also gets 16 ender pearls and Speed III for 30 minutes to help the journey.
The mod records how long each player spends from joining to exiting and presents the figure as hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds. An emerald block underfoot is treated as a cheat, and the notice goes only to that player. Leaving the race strips the items and effects and counts as a disqualification.
Fabric API is required. The server needs Race To Spawn Mod, while players may add it to their clients. Files are published for Fabric only, across six game versions, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which means the mod is not open source. The latest file is 1.20.x-1.0.1 for 1.20.6, dated 2026-07-30.
