DatapacksJava
TimedLife
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
TimedLife Datapack
The TimedLife datapack adds an exciting element to your Minecraft gameplay by introducing a time-based challenge. Each player begins with a limited amount of time, and as the clock ticks down, they must strategically gather rare blocks to extend their lifespans. Once a player's remaining time reaches zero, they face the ultimate consequence – death.
How to Play
- Start: Your time begins ticking down as soon as you move.
- Gain Time: Place rare blocks, stand on them, and sneak to consume them, adding precious minutes to your remaining time.
- Survive: Strategize and extend your lifespan by wisely using rare blocks.
- Consequence: When your remaining time hits zero, you will face unavoidable death.

This datapack is inspired by a video I saw a few years ago, unfortunately I can't find it or I would credit it for the idea.
