Walk The Line
Walk The Line is a Fabric challenge mod that restricts player movement to a single line that runs across the world, shown as a rotating colored boundary.
What it does
Once a challenge starts, the player is locked to movement along either the X or Z axis and cannot leave a line that is displayed as a rotating color boundary. The line color and other options can be set in a configuration screen. When the challenge begins, the mod finds the closest stronghold to the player's current location, and the locked path runs through that stronghold's silverfish spawner and end portal frame.
The line stays on a fixed axis across dimension changes. Entering or leaving the Nether places the player at the matching relative position on the same axis in the Overworld. The player is also locked to zero on the Z axis so the path intersects the End island portal. Progress is tracked through advancements, and earning the dragon-slaying advancement lifts the restriction so the player can roam again.
The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Files are published for Fabric only, across 10 release versions 1.20.6 – 26.1.1, with 1.2.0 for 26.1.1 as the latest file.
Key features
Single-line restriction
The player can only move along one line through the world, which the mod enforces once a challenge has started.
Rotating boundary display
A rotating colored line marks the boundary the player is restricted to, and its color can be changed in the config screen.
Stronghold targeting
On start, the closest stronghold to the player is located and the path is built to pass through its silverfish spawner and portal frame.
Advancement-based release
Defeating the dragon through the Slay the Dragon advancement lifts the line restriction and lets the player move freely.
