RunLab

by vertexxx

RunLab is a Fabric training mod for Minecraft speedrunners that creates a new world, finds a nearby structure and teleports the player next to it.

FabricClient and serverMIT License1.16.1 – 1.16.5

What it does

Pressing F6 generates a fresh world and searches for a structure close to spawn, then places the player beside it after a 10-second countdown. The structure is picked from a configurable pool that covers villages, ruined portals, desert temples and shipwrecks, and the landing spot is chosen on solid ground 30 to 50 blocks from the target, so a run can start at a shipwreck's ship or a portal without manual searching.

Two timers are shown during a run: real-time (RTA) and in-game time (IGT). The timers keep counting until the Ender Dragon is killed, and the time saved by the run is recorded at that point. A structure-only mode generates a plain world with the timer running, which suits practicing exploration on its own. Seeds can be regenerated with F6 and restarted with R, and the pool can be edited with the runlab commands, including reset and setpool.

RunLab is a Fabric mod and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Minecraft 1.16.1 and 1.16.5, with 1.0.0 for 1.16.5 as the latest build, under the MIT License. The mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Automatic structure search

    A new world is created and a nearby structure is located, then the player is teleported next to it.

  2. Configurable structure pool

    The pool includes villages, ruined portals, desert temples and shipwrecks, and can be changed with commands.

  3. Real-time and in-game timers

    RTA and IGT timers run together from the start of a run until the dragon is killed, with the time saved shown.

  4. Seed controls

    F6 generates a new seed and R restarts the current one, so a practice route can be repeated quickly.

Use cases

Speedrun practice

Structure-only drills

The plain world mode lets a player practice finding and reaching one structure type with the timer running.

Who it’s for: Speedrunners and players who train routes on Minecraft Java Edition with Fabric. Server owners can run it for group practice, since the environment requires it on both sides.

Can the structure pool be changed?
