Modded Bingo
Modded Bingo is an exciting mini-game in the format of a scavenger hunt. The main goal is to collect items indicated on the bingo card. Victory is awarded when a player or team collects 5 items arranged in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line. The mod supports multiplayer mode and provides extensive customization options.
How to Play
To start a game of Modded Bingo, you need to execute several commands. For this, cheats must be enabled in your world, or you must have operator status on a dedicated server. Here is a step-by-step guide for creating and starting a game:
- Execute the "/bingo create" command
- Join a team using the "/bingo team <red|green|blue|yellow>" command. By default, all players are on the red team
- Start the game with the "/bingo start" command. Please note: this command will teleport all players to new positions and clear their inventories
- After the game ends, you can create a new one using the create command or stop the current game with "/bingo stop" to hide the bingo card
The game creation command supports additional parameters for fine-tuning: "/bingo create [mode] [grouping] [seed]".
- mode - determines the item set and additional effects (e.g., potions at the start of the game). Available modes are "bingo:default" and "bingo:classic"
- grouping - controls whether team members will spawn at the same point (enabled by default)
- seed - arbitrary text without spaces to control game randomization

Customization and Expansion
The mod uses a data system to define game modes, effects, and possible bingo goals. This allows mods, modpacks, and servers to add their own content. There are two types of data: "game modes" and "goal tables".
Adding Content Through Mods
Place files in the "data/your_mod_id/bingo/goaltable" and "data/your_mod_id/bingo/gamemode" folders. These files are loaded during mod initialization.
Adding Content Through Configurations
Place files in the "~/config/bingo/additions/goaltable" or "~/config/bingo/additions/gamemode" folders. To override existing files, use "~/config/bingo/overrides/mod_id/".
Adding Content Through Addons
Addons are ZIP archives placed in the "~/addons/bingo" folder. Create an archive with gamemode and goaltable folders - all files inside will be loaded by the mod.
