Random Item Rush
by __Rowan__L
Players who want a timed scavenger round can use Random Item Rush, which assigns each player a random item to gather before the timer runs out.
What it does
Each round gives the player one randomly chosen item that must be found and put into the inventory before the timer reaches zero. Failing to collect it in time costs a life, and the game ends once every life is gone. A round can be started and resumed, paused, or reset, which clears the timer and lives and assigns a new target. The round timer length is set per round, using a whole number followed by s for seconds, m for minutes or h for hours.
Random Item Rush is built for play alone or with friends on a server. It is a minigame in the Minigame category, also tagged Game mechanics and Social. The mod is for NeoForge only, with a single version, 1.21.1, and its latest file, 1.0.0, was published on 2026-02-18. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
