Random Item Speedrun
by Zetakron
Random Item Speedrun is a Fabric minigame in which a player is given one random item to find, with a timer that records how long the search takes.
What it does
Running the ritem command picks a random target item. A roulette animation cycles through candidate items on screen before settling on the one the player must find, and the timer starts when the roulette finishes. The run ends once the target item enters the player's inventory: the timer freezes, a CONGRATULATIONS message appears and a celebration effect plays.
The mod is built for speedrun-style challenges, where each attempt draws a new item and the time to locate it becomes the result. It is a minigame in the utility category, so it suits single-player practice and multiplayer play alike. Fabric API must be installed alongside it.
Files are published for Fabric only, and the 1.0.0 build targets 1.21.8. Random Item Speedrun is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It runs on the client or the server, and installing it on either side is enough.

How it compares
TimerDisplay Mod is a client-side Fabric mod released under the MIT License for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and it is not open source; it shows a timer rather than choosing a random item. Relay Speedrun is server-side only, under All rights reserved, and covers 1.21.11, so players can join without installing it. Race timers is client-side only, open source and covers 1.21.6 – 1.21.11, and also times runs without picking a target item.
