DESCRIPTION

This my version of the deathswap minigame created by SethBling and popularized by dream! In this minigame, players swap positions with each other every 5 minutes, and must use this mechannic to kill the others by environmental damage, by jumping into lava right before a swap for example. You only get to know when a swap is about to happen 5 seconds prior, so you must react quickly!

INSTALLATION/SETUP GUIDE

generate a new world, put the zip file in the datapacks folder located at:

(or put the mod in the mods folder of the server)
