  2. Run the installer and select your Minecraft version (1.21.11)

Client installation

Players do not need to install this mod on their client! Soul Link Speedrun is entirely server-side.

Compatibility notes

Compatible with

  • Essentials: Only the server host needs to have it installed
  • Most Fabric mods: Generally compatible with other server-side mods
  • Modpacks: Feel free to include this mod in Modrinth/CurseForge modpacks without permission

Potential conflicts

Soul Link Speedrun may conflict with mods that modify:
  • Health and hunger mechanics
  • Portal behavior and world generation
  • Death handling and respawn logic

If you experience issues with other mods, try running Soul Link Speedrun on a clean server with only Fabric API installed to isolate the problem.

Verify installation

To verify that Soul Link Speedrun is installed correctly:
  1. Join your server
  2. Run the /runinfo command
  3. You should see a message showing the current run state
If the command works, you’re ready to start your first speedrun!
