Item Hunt

One item. One chest. Everyone at once.

Item Hunt is a drop-in race minigame: the server picks a target item, scatters every player into a fresh survival world, and the first one to get that item into the central locked chest wins on the spot. No arena building, no world setup, no config required — install the jar and start a game with one command.

How a round works

1. A void lobby is generated automatically on first start; players always spawn there.
2. An admin runs /itemhunt autogame — fresh survival arena, random target item, everyone plays. (Or pick the item yourself: hold it and run /itemhunt setup.)
3. A delivery chest appears on a glowstone-marked platform at the centre, players scatter onto solid ground across the map, a countdown runs, then GO!
4. Hunt however you like — mine it, craft it, loot it, or take it off another player. A compass always points back to the chest, and the action bar shows time left and distance.
5. The chest only accepts the target item — the moment someone puts it in, they win. Instantly, and credited to the right player. Everyone gets a GG and returns to the lobby.

Why it's easy to run

• Zero setup — the lobby and arena worlds generate themselves.
• One-command games — /itemhunt autogame does everything.
• Fresh terrain every time — /itemhunt newgame regenerates the arena with a new seed and its own world border.
• Fair scatters — players land on real ground (never treetops, water, or lava), clamped inside the border.
• Grief-proof delivery point — the platform around the chest can't be built on, broken, or lava'd, and junk items are rejected from the chest.
• No strands — portals are blocked in arena worlds; dead players respawn back into the hunt with a fresh compass.
• Players can bail — /itemhunt leave forfeits cleanly; the round ends itself if everyone leaves.
• Lightweight — no dependencies, no database, one small jar.
