Victim Hacker Powers (2.0 is here)

Victim Hacker Power Mod
Become the stick figure that hacks the game itself.

Inspired by Victim and the gang from Alan Becker’s Animator vs. Animation / Animation vs. Minecraft, this mod hands you the reality-bending “hacker” powers from the series and drops them straight into survival Minecraft. You don’t craft a wand or wait for a cooldown — the moment you load in, you can grab mobs out of the air, rewrite their stats, erase the world around you, summon glowing hacker weapons, pause enemies mid-swing, delete them from existence, and fight beside an army of clones wearing your own skin.

🎉 Update 2.0 is here! A brand-new power wheel (just 3 keys!), Change Colour with a Rainbow mode, Teleport, Delete from existence, the Hacker Axe, an owner-only Hacker Cheats terminal, /hacker commands for servers, and a huge round of bug fixes. See What’s new in 2.0 below.

🎮 Controls (new in 2.0)
Only three keys now, so the mod no longer clashes with your other mods:

Key What it does
R Open the power wheel: click a power (or hold R and let go over one) to select it. The bottom row summons your hacker weapons.
G Use the selected power
V Pause / unpause a mob (or delete the mob you’re grabbing)
Your selected power shows in a slot next to your hotbar. All keys are rebindable in Options → Controls → Victim Hacker Power Mod.

⚡ The powers
🖐️ Telekinetic Grab
Look at any mob and rip it into the air. It hangs in front of you inside a glowing wireframe box (just like Victim plucking a figure off the desktop). Tilt your camera to swing it around, scroll to push it farther away or pull it closer, then sprint + press G to hurl it across the landscape. Pin a creeper above your head, fling a raiding zombie off a cliff, or carry an animal back to your farm without a lead.

💥 Delete from Existence (new in 2.0)
While you’re holding a mob, press V and it shrinks into nothing in a burst of sparks — gone for good, no drops. Just like the scene where Victim shrinks something out of existence.

🔍 Mob Scanner & File Editor
Scan any mob (or the one you’re holding) to open its “file” — a scrollable, in-world data panel that turns every creature into something you can inspect and rewrite:

Info: the exact in-game day & time it was created, how long ago that was, its type, UUID, position, and health.
Flags: toggle its AI, gravity, invulnerability, silence, and glow on or off.
Attributes: live-edit every stat the mob has — set a Warden’s attack damage to 0, crank a chicken’s movement speed to ridiculous, double a zombie’s max health, zero out its knockback resistance, and more.
Behaviors: switch individual AI goals on and off one by one.
Special abilities: switch off a mob’s attacks, projectiles, explosions or teleporting — a creeper that can’t blow up, a skeleton that can’t shoot, an enderman that can’t teleport.
Delete: erase the mob from existence with one click.
It reads modded mobs too, so you can defang or supercharge creatures from other mods you have installed.

🧽 Hacker Eraser
Switch on Victim’s eraser and hold attack to vaporize whole spheres of blocks around your cursor. A glowing reticle shows the area, and you scroll to resize it. Erased blocks drop so you can pick them up, making it instant excavation, tunneling, or terraforming. It refuses to erase mobs, skips bedrock, and respects spawn protection and land-claim mods, so you won’t wreck the things you don’t mean to.

👥 Fighter Clones
Outnumbered? Summon clones that wear your own skin (slim arms too) and wield the hacker sword. They charge down hostile mobs, fight at your side, and follow you around the world (teleporting to you if they fall behind). Each has 100 HP so they’re hard to kill, and you can field up to 25 at once — turn any ambush into a full-on stick-figure brawl with a squad of you.

🛡️ Wireframe Shield
Raise a glowing forcefield box that tracks your view and blocks every incoming attack — arrows, melee hits, creeper explosions, even a Warden’s sonic boom — exactly like Victim blocking the Dark Lord’s strikes. Toggle it on to become untouchable, toggle it off to fight back.

⏸️ Pause
Freeze any mob in its tracks with V, complete with a floating pause icon, just like pausing the animation program. A paused mob can’t move, attack, or even die. Pile on as much damage as you want — nothing happens until you press V again, at which point every consequence lands at once and it drops. Paused mobs now stay paused when you leave and come back.

📍 Teleport (new in 2.0)
Type in coordinates (or use ~ for “relative to me”) and zap straight there in a flash of sparks. If the spot is inside blocks, it lifts you up to open space so you don’t get stuck, and it never leaves anything in chat.

🎨 Change Colour (new in 2.0)
Not a fan of light blue? Pick Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Light Blue, Blue, Purple, Pink — or Rainbow, which cycles through every colour non-stop. Your weapons, aura, grab box, shield, clones’ swords and hacker screens all switch instantly, and other players see your colour too. The black parts stay black, and Light Blue is always the original look.

💻 Hacker Cheats Terminal (new in 2.0, owner only)
A hacker-style command terminal where you can type any Minecraft command — even with cheats off — with tab completion. Only the world or server owner can open it.

🗡️ Hacker weapons
Open the wheel with R and click one in the Summon row to materialize it with a flashy spawn animation:

Hacker Sword — hits hard in melee and, when you hold right-click, sprays a volley of thrown energy-swords — the longer you hold, the more it fires. It won’t hit your own clones or allies.
Hacker Pickaxe — mines virtually any block in a single hit (anything short of unbreakable bedrock), always dropping what it breaks. Strip-mine a mountain in seconds.
Hacker Axe (new in 2.0) — chop one log and the whole tree disappears, leaves and all, dropping its wood, saplings and apples where you chopped. It’s smart enough to only take natural trees, so your log houses are safe. Sneak to break just one block.
All three are effectively unbreakable and fire-resistant, and take on your hacker colour.

✨ Always-on extras
Flight — fly like in creative whenever you want (double-tap jump).
No hunger — your food bar never drains.
Night vision — see in the dark, permanently, with no flicker or HUD clutter.
Power aura — a glowing aura in your colour traces your body so everyone can tell you carry Victim’s powers (visible to other players too).
👑 Who gets the powers? (new in 2.0)
In singleplayer (and on a LAN world you host), you have every power.
On a server, operators with permission level 4 are the owners and have every power.
Owners can share the powers with anyone using /hacker give.
Owner commands
Command What it does
/hacker give <player> Give a player hacker powers
/hacker take <player> Take their hacker powers away
/hacker list See who has powers (and who can’t respawn)
/hacker preventrespawn <player> true Stop a player from respawning after they die — false lets them again (works even if they’ve logged off)
/hacker remove dimension <id> Close off a dimension (like the Nether or the End) so nobody can go there
/hacker restore dimension <id> Open it back up
/hacker removed List the dimensions you’ve closed off

Fixes & improvements

Much more stable in multiplayer and on LAN — LAN guests no longer get owner powers by accident
Grabbed, paused and deleting mobs are saved properly when you leave and rejoin
The eraser respects spawn protection and land-claim mods
The Hacker Pickaxe and Axe only work their magic for players with powers
Clones only follow you in the same dimension, use slim skins correctly, and the 25-clone limit counts every dimension
Thrown swords no longer hit your own clones
The aura only shows on players who actually have powers
The shield and pause can always be switched off, even if an admin disables them in the config
Many smaller fixes to the power wheel, mob file screen and terminal
⚠️ Updating from 1.x? The server and every player need 2.0. The old keybinds are gone — press R to find every power on the wheel. Back up your worlds before updating, just in case.

⚙️ Made to fit your game
Almost everything is tweakable in the config: grab range and throw power, eraser size and whether it drops blocks, bullet damage and count, clone health/damage and the 25-clone cap, whether the axe drops wood, and individual on/off switches for every power, weapon and passive. Want a hardcore run with only telekinesis and the shield? Turn the rest off. Want a pure-chaos creative sandbox? Crank it all up.

Powers are server-synced, so on multiplayer worlds everyone can see each other’s grab boxes, shields, clones, colours, glow auras, and paused mobs.

No Mixins are used, for the best possible compatibility with other mods.
