About this Mod
🗺️ MineGuessr
GeoGuessr, but inside Minecraft. You're teleported to a completely random spot in the world with no idea where you are. Look around, study the terrain, the biome, the sun, the structures — then open the map and pin exactly where you spawned. The closer your guess, the more points you score.
Every location is real, procedurally generated Minecraft terrain, so no two rounds are ever the same.
⚠️ Beta / test release. Bug reports and feedback are hugely appreciated!
✨ Features
🎯 The core game
- You spawn at a random point inside a 150-block region, bounded by a world border.
- After a short timer, an interactive map of the region opens.
- Click where you think you spawned. Score is distance-based (a bullseye = 5000 points), exactly like GeoGuessr.
🧑🤝🧑 Single-player & Multiplayer
- Play solo, or with friends — every online player joins automatically.
- In multiplayer, everyone is dropped at the same location each round and guesses independently.
- The round result is only revealed once everyone has guessed, so nobody can copy another player's pin.
- Cumulative scoreboard across rounds, with player heads and names.

MineGuessr server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

MineGuessr officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with MineGuessr – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if MineGuessr consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
