    Minecraft: Keep Moving or Die

    A challenging survival modification that adds constant movement mechanics to your Minecraft experience.

    Overview

    This datapack introduces a unique survival challenge where players must maintain continuous movement to stay alive. When a player remains stationary, they begin taking progressive damage until they move again or perish.


    Core Mechanics

      • Block-to-Block Movement Required: Players must move to different blocks - movement within a single block does not count and will still trigger damage (designed for increased difficulty)
      • Movement Detection: Real-time position tracking monitors player block coordinates
      • Progressive Damage: Damage increases over time when stationary (default: every 0.25 seconds)
      • Death Timer: Players have 5 seconds of inactivity before fatal damage occurs
      • Visual Warnings: Countdown alerts appear before critical damage phases
      • Game Mode Compatibility: Functions in Survival and Adventure modes (automatically disabled in Creative/Spectator)



            Features


            - ✓ Multiplayer server compatible
            - ✓ Cross-dimensional functionality
            - ✓ Customizable timing parameters
            - ✓ No resource pack dependencies
            - ✓ Optimized performance with minimal lag impact
            - ✓ Smart game mode detection

            Customization Options


            Adjust the experience to your preferred difficulty level:

            - Death Timer: Modify the grace period before fatal damage (default: 5 seconds)
            - Damage Frequency: Change how often damage is applied (default: 0.25 seconds)
            - Grace Period: Set initial safe time when stopping movement (default: none)
            Configuration is handled through simple in-game commands, allowing real-time adjustments without reloading.

            Frequently Asked Questions

            General Questions


            Q: Does this work on multiplayer servers?
            A: Yes, the datapack is fully compatible with multiplayer servers and will track each player independently.


            Q: Can I use this with other datapacks?
            A: Generally yes, though datapacks that significantly modify player movement or health mechanics may cause conflicts.


            Q: Will this affect my existing world?
            A: No, the datapack only adds new functionality and won't modify existing blocks, items, or structures.

            Gameplay Questions



            Q: What counts as movement?
            A: You must move to a different block entirely. Moving around within the
            same block (like looking around or small position adjustments) does not
            count as movement and will still trigger damage. This mechanic is
            intentionally designed to increase difficulty.


            Q: What happens if I'm in a menu or inventory?
            A: The game considers menu navigation as being stationary, so damage
            will still occur. Plan your inventory management accordingly.


            Q: Does riding horses, boats, or other entities count as movement?
            A: Yes, as long as the entity moves you to different blocks, it counts as valid movement.


            Q: Can I pause the effect temporarily?
            A: You can disable the datapack using /datapack disable "file/[datapack_name]" and re-enable it later with the enable command.

            Technical Questions


            Q: How do I change the death timer?
            A: Use the provided configuration commands (specific commands included in the download documentation).


            Q: Why isn't the datapack working after installation?
            A: Ensure you've run /reload after installation. If issues persist, check that you're not in Creative or Spectator mode.


            Q: Does this cause lag on servers?
            A: The datapack is optimized for minimal performance impact, but servers with many players may experience slight tick delays.


            Q: Can I modify the damage amount?
            A: Yes, damage values can be customized through the configuration system.


            Q: What happens if I log out while the timer is active?
            A: The timer resets when you log back in, giving you a fresh grace period.


            Q: Does jumping in place count as movement?
            A: No, jumping or any other movement that doesn't change your block coordinates will not stop the damage timer.
