A Bad Time

by kyle_martin0712

A Bad Time brings the Sans character into Minecraft through Palladium, so players can gain his abilities and use them in play.

FabricForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Players can turn into Sans or only use his abilities, both through Palladium. The abilities include Bone Throw, Gaster Blaster and Bone Spikes, with a Gaster Blaster model to show the attack. A crafting recipe gallery covers the soul recipe that turns a player into Sans, and a reset button in the same gallery removes the powers again.

The mod requires Geckolib, KubeJS, Palladium and Pehkui. Palladium supplies the ability system, Geckolib the animated models, KubeJS the scripted recipes and Pehkui the size changes. It is published for Fabric and Forge, with files for 1.20.1 only. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Sans abilities

    Palladium powers let a player use Sans's attacks without changing the whole character.

  2. Bone attacks

    Bone Throw, Bone Spikes and the Gaster Blaster each bring a separate ability with its own use.

  3. Gaster Blaster model

    An animated Gaster Blaster model displays the attack in the world.

  4. Soul crafting and reset

    A crafting recipe gallery holds the recipe for Sans's soul and a button that removes the powers.
