Finalist #3
Arena Visualizer
Score 64 • 4 behind winner • Survived to final judging
This finalist had a real path to revenue, but it was not the strongest money-making option. A customizable, client-side Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.4 that visualizes danger zones for PvP players in arena-based game modes like Skywars and Bedwars.
This is a compressed finalist analysis, not a full execution pack. The full working plan is reserved for the winner so the final recommendation stays clear.
