Control Swap

A Minecraft Fabric mod that swaps players out with one another. One shared “body” per team. Control rotates between team members on a timer. All members of a team are able to see from the “body’s” perspective, including hotbar, inventory, etc. Inspired by Feinberg’s 3v3 speedrun race against Ludwig: https://youtu.be/BOVwaLuAGPk

Features

• Teams:
• Each team is one body controlled by an ordered list of players.
• Teams are treated as players by the game, allowing commands, datapacks, and maps to work with the mod
• Settings:
• Turn length (period, default 600 ticks = 30s).
• Turn order (customizable player swap order)
• Spectator blindness (blindness, default off)
• Next-player indicator:
• A per-team boss bar displaying current player -> next player <time remaining>
• A noteblock sound countdown (volume adjustable through audio settings)
