chainsaw mod
by sterer_____
Chainsaw Mod, a Forge game mechanics mod for 1.20.1, lets a group of players run an asymmetric game with killer and survivor roles.
What it does
Survivors and a killer spawn at the start of a round, and the setup begins when a player starts the game. Diamond ore and crafting tables are part of the survival side of the match, giving survivors resources to work with while the killer hunts them. Passive regeneration can be turned off and the peaceful difficulty can be selected, which changes how the round plays out.
Chainsaw Mod runs on Forge and needs both the server and each player to have it installed. Files are published for 1.20.1 only, with 1.2.0 as the latest build, released on 2026-07-27 after a first release on 2026-07-25. The code is licensed under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Asymmetric round setup
Players are split into survivors and a killer when the game starts, so each side plays a different role.
Survivor spawns
Survivors spawn at their own points at the beginning of each round, separate from the killer's spawn.
Killer spawn
The killer has a dedicated spawn, giving the hunter a starting position that differs from the survivors.
Resources and crafting
Diamond ore and crafting tables give survivors materials to gather and craft with during a round.

It's better to download mod deleting player nicknames, turn of passive regeneration and select peaceful difficulty.
