RunChallenge
by EdvardCode
RunChallenge adds a distance-running challenge system, where a player sets a target distance and the mod tracks progress toward it while the run is under way.
What it does
A challenge is started by setting a distance to run. The mod shows a visual progress bar with the distance covered and can count backwards instead, so the counter decreases as the player moves in reverse. Completing a challenge sets off five volleys of colorful fireworks. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the mod works with Forge without an extra library.
The mod is built for interactive streams: a streamer can create challenges for viewers, and server owners can set viewer punishments and rewards. Several players can manage other players' challenges, and the mod supports player competitions. Client and server: the server and every player need the mod for challenges to run. The code is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric and Forge, 1.20.1 only, with Fabric 1.0.1 and Forge 1.0.0 as the latest builds.
Key features
Distance challenges
A player sets a distance to run, and the progress bar shows how much of it has been covered.

Graphical management
A convenient interface opens with the R key, and every challenge can also be managed through commands.
Speed and endurance challenges
Challenges can test speed or endurance, and the mod includes a Russian and English language option.
