Scavenger-Host
by nrxzwq
Scavenger-Host is a Fabric minigame fork of Scavenger, in which a group of players races to find a target item, with teams, timers and victory screens.
What it does
Scavenger-Host runs item speedruns for solo, duo and trio modes on dedicated servers, LAN worlds and single-player worlds. A separate preparation step lets an admin or moderator choose teams and roll a target block or item on a wheel, and the timer starts only after the scavenger startgame command. Players without a team are kept out of duo and trio races, and oversized teams block the start.
The fork is built for dedicated servers and for LAN play, including Radmin VPN setups. Run management commands need server operator or admin permissions, or host access in single-player and LAN games. Its control menu, team commands and custom nicknames work with synced timers and shared win announcements. The project is a modified GPL-3.0 fork and keeps the original license text, with a NOTICE.md summary of the major changes.
The mod needs Fabric API, Architectury API, ShatterLib and OctoLib, installed with Fabric Loader 0.18.4 or newer. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Only one Scavenger-Host jar may be used per Minecraft version, and mixing dependencies across versions is not supported. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.11 and the code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes it open source.
Key features
Solo, duo and trio races
Each run is set to one of three modes, so a single player, two-person or three-person team can compete.
Preparation and start steps
Teams are chosen in a preparation step, then a target is rolled on a wheel before the timer starts.
Synced timers and victories
Timers and victory screens are synchronized across players, and a shared announcement names the team that finds the target item.
Configurable item lists
Rollable items, modifier blacklist entries and item blacklist or whitelist are set in the configuration, with timer display and victory screen colors.

How it compares
Scavenger Rating Addon is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.21.11 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it changes nothing on the server side. Scavenger Extra Trials is client and server with Fabric and NeoForge files for 1.21.11, licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. SpawnHunt is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 – 26.3 that is open source under the MIT License, and either side can run it, and neither needs it.
