# Mob Dash!<\/p>\n
Mob Dash! is a game about frantically hunting mobs. The game will call out a target mob, and the
\nfirst team to kill that mob gets the points. The game can be set to a time or score limit as a win
\ncondition. The game can be played as a singleplayer challenge, but is meant as a multiplayer,
\ncompetitive game.<\/p>\n
The current version of the game is made for Minecraft 1.19.4.<\/p>\n
## Overview<\/p>\n
As the game starts, a title shows up designating a target mob. That type of mob is now the one to
\nkill. The first team to kill the mob gets the score, and a new mob type is called out. The current
\ntarget mob is displayed on the action bar (above the hotbar), together with the score awared for
\nkilling that mob.<\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n
To install, place the zip file for the datapack in the datapacks folder of your level. If you had
\nalready started the world, run `\/reload` to activate the pack. You should see a world border
\nappear and start seeing a menu in the chat.<\/p>\n
To install in a new Singleplayer world, you can also drag and drop the datapack zip file to the
\nDatapacks screen in the Create New World options.<\/p>\n
## Settings<\/p>\n
When you first join the game, you’ll be placed on a random team. Use the Switch Teams menu option
\nto select a team.<\/p>\n
There are two scoring modes – Flat and Progressive. Switch between them using the Scoring menu
\noption. In Flat mode all mobs are equally valuable, no matter how hard they are to kill. In
\nProgressive mode, harder mobs that take longer to kill are worth more. It is recommended to
\nplay in Progressive mode.<\/p>\n
There is also a Difficulty menu option. The difficulty controls how quickly the game will start
\nassigning harder mob targets.<\/p>\n
You can set time and\/or score limits for winning the game. After clicking the menu option, fill
\nin the number of minutes or win score at the end of the command that gets placed in your chat line
\nand hit enter.<\/p>\n
When everyone is ready, start the game using the Start Game menu option.<\/p>\n
## Server Setup and Preparation<\/p>\n
You’ll likely need a pretty powerful server to run Mob Dash! The minigame itself is not very
\ndemanding but the goal of the game encourages players to run in different directions and explore
\nnew chunks. If possible, use a mod like Chunky to pre-generate terrain at least several thousand
\nblocks out. For longer games, consider also pre-generating some Nether terrain.<\/p>\n
The game is known to work with a vanilla server or a Fabric modded server and should work with
\nperformance mods like Lithium, Phosphor and Starlight. Server frameworks like Paper change the
\nspawning rules of the game in ways that tend to make the game less playable and are not
\nrecommended.<\/p>\n
Having a discord server or other voice communication for the teams is also recommended.<\/p>\n
## Game Tips<\/p>\n
Try to split up the different mob types between different team members. For instance, early game
\nit might make sense to have one player go for hostile mobs or cave mobs while another player stays
\non the surface.<\/p>\n
Use any tricks available for mobs that can come with you or remain in known locations, like picking
\nup fish in buckets, carrying eggs and capturing hostile mobs in boats.<\/p>\n
