Lockout

What is Lockout?

Minecraft Lockout is a game in which two teams compete to complete as many goals as they can on a 5x5 board. The goals could be as simple as 'Ride a Horse' or as challenging as 'Kill the Ender Dragon'. Each goal is worth one point, and if one team completes a goal, the other team can no longer get a point for that goal. First team to complete the majority of the board wins.

This game was originally invented by SmallAnt and created by AtSign as a Forge mod. This version is a data pack which means it can be played in 100% vanilla Minecraft and no client-side installations are necessary.

You can find the original mod on curseforge here. All credit for the game concept goes to SmallAnt - Check out his YouTube!

Always play lockout on a new world. Do not use on existing worlds.

Generator

Due to data pack restrictions, you must use a different data pack for each board. Here on modrinth, you can download preset boards I have created using my generator on GitHub. If you are somewhat tech-savvy and want to create your own custom lockuot boards, go check out my generator and follow the instructions to create a board. All the data packs here on modrinth were generated using that python script.

Installing the Data Pack and Playing Lockout

To install a data pack, open your Minecraft world folder and find the folder labeled 'datapacks'. Drag the zip file into this folder (no need to unzip it), then run /reload in your world.

To play lockout, first install the data pack on your world or on a server. Add players to teams using "/team join 1 <player>" and "/team join 2 <player>". You can change the colors of the teams by typing "/team modify 1 color <color>". To start the game, run "/function lockout:game/start". If a player joins late, and they can't see the lockout board, type "/function lockout:game/resume" (this should happen automatically as of v1.3.0, however if this is the first time the player is joining, they will have to relog again to reset)

Limitations

Since a compass tracker is hard to implement in a data pack, instead you can use "/trigger locate" to see any player's coordinates in the world.

There is no lockout board overlay like in the original mod. Press your advancements keybind (defaults to L) to see the lockout board.

There is also no way for the data pack to detect what the seed will be like, so there is no gaurentee that every goal is completable within 2000 blocks.

Do not install this data pack on a pre-existing world. Lockout is intended to be played on a new world with a random seed.

With that being said, there are plenty of benefits to playing in vanilla. You can install any mods you want and your friends can join and play instantly without any annoying client-side setup. If you have any questions, stay tuned for my video covering how to use the generator and play the game.

Playing Blackout

The data pack also allows you to start a Blackout game (same as a lockout except everyone is on the same team and you try to complete the entire board)

To play, follow the same steps as above to generate the data pack and load it into your world. Then run /reload and either click the button in chat that says "Play Blackout" or type /function lockout:game/start_blackout

Resource Pack

In order to make some of the goal icons more descriptive, this generator comes with an optional resource pack that utilizes some of the textures from the original lockout mod. The file is in the data packs folder, and you do not have to do any setup besides enabling it on your client.

Known Issues

'Whatever Floats your Goat' advancement does not work and is not counted for unique advancements goal.

Due to data pack limitations, there may be some issues with players logging off during the game, though I've done as much as I can to limit any problems from this. One such issue that may arise is if a player logs out during the game start sequence. If this happens and the player cannot move/jump after the game has started, try running "/execute as <affected_player> run function lockout:game/reset_attributes"
