TimedLife

by underscore95

TimedLife is a time-based survival mod in which a countdown ends the player's life when it reaches zero, and rare blocks add minutes to it.

FabricForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalApache License 2.0Open source1.20 – 1.20.4

What it does

A remaining-time counter starts ticking down soon after a player begins a run, and the run ends with an unavoidable death when the counter hits zero. Players gain time by placing rare blocks on the ground, standing beside them while sneaking and consuming them, which adds minutes to the remaining time. A beacon grants 30 minutes, a netherite block 30 minutes, a diamond block 15 minutes and an emerald block 5 minutes, so the choice of which blocks to spend shapes how long a life lasts.

The mod turns ordinary survival into a timed challenge: resources are gathered and progress is made while the clock runs, and each spent block is a decision about how long a life lasts. It runs on the server, and only the server needs it, so players can join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, for five game versions covering 1.20 – 1.20.4, under the Apache License 2.0, and the source code is public.

Key features

  1. Countdown life timer

    A remaining-time counter drops steadily, and reaching zero ends the player's life.

  2. Time-granting blocks

    Beacon, netherite, diamond and emerald blocks each add a fixed number of minutes when consumed.

  3. Sneak to consume

    Standing beside a placed block while sneaking consumes it and adds its minutes to the timer.

  4. Timed challenge mode

    Survival becomes a race against a clock, with resources gathered and placed under time pressure.

Use cases

Survival challenge runs

Players set a run against the clock and try to last as long as possible while exploring and building.

Server events

A server can host timed survival rounds in which every participant races the same countdown.

Who it’s for: Players who want survival with a built-in deadline, and server owners running challenge or event worlds. Since only the server needs the mod, the mod suits a shared world without asking players to install anything.

Questions

Does TimedLife need to be installed on the client?

No. Only the server has to run it, while a player may leave it out; a client with the mod works too, but is not required.

Which loaders does TimedLife support?

Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, all for 1.20.4 as the latest build. A data pack version is also listed for server platforms.

How much time does each block add?

A beacon adds 30 minutes, a netherite block 30 minutes, a diamond block 15 minutes and an emerald block 5 minutes.
