Minecraft, But Every 30 Seconds You Swap Places With a Mob

Minecraft, But Every 30 Seconds You Swap Places With A Random Mob

A fun survival datapack that randomly swaps your coordinates with a loaded entity.

Overview

As the name suggests, you randomly swap places with a random mob or player. By default the interval is set to 30 seconds, which you can change using the trigger command below.

There isn’t a particular radius or anything — you will swap places with any loaded entity in the world. The idea is inspired by the movie Freaky Friday (though they swap bodies, not places. I might make something like that in the future).

Core Mechanics

• Swap System: Independent timers per player
• Timing: 30 second intervals (default)
• Valid Targets: Hostile mobs, passive mobs, and other players

• ✓ Customizable timer via /trigger ff_set_timer set <seconds>

• ✓ No resource pack dependencies
• ✓ Lightweight — no performance impact
