Directly inspired by this r/MinecraftSuggestions post.
This datapack adds a new "gamemode" to your Minecraft world.
Once installed, everyone's spawnpoint is now forever set to a Cursed Respawn Anchor block in the Nether.
One must break the block using a Diamond or Netherite pickaxe in order to break the curse.
The Cursed Respawn Anchor never runs out of charges and sleeping in a bed or setting your spawn another way does not work, until the Cursed Respawn Anchor is broken.
The goal of the pack is to traverse the Nether and finally venture into the Overworld, find diamonds to craft a Diamond Pickaxe, and traveling back to break the block and lift the curse.
As soon as the block is broken, everyone's spawnpoint is reset to the overworld.
Good luck travelers!
