How to Host a Match and Configure Game Settings

Launching the Map with Friends

Because Death Swap But Way Better Map revolves around swapping places with other players, you need at least two participants in the world. Load the world from your Singleplayer menu, press Escape, and select Open to LAN if your friends are on the same network, or load the world folder onto a multiplayer server so everyone can join together. If you are running a dedicated server, ensure command blocks are enabled in your server properties so the custom map mechanics and timers can run.

Adjusting Lives and Match Settings

Before triggering the start of the round, locate the map's configuration controls in the starting area. Use the customizable settings to tailor the pace of the match to your group. Most importantly, check the adjustable lives option:

• Low-life matches create high-stakes rounds where one or two successful traps eliminate an opponent quickly.
• High-life matches give everyone breathing room to experiment with the over 100 possible overpowered items without being knocked out by early chaos.

Once every player has loaded into the world and you have finalized the life count and custom rules, activate the start control to begin the swap and item timers.
