Dual Drive
by Redexe19
In Dual Drive, two players share one character body, with one controlling movement and the other handling vision and actions.
What it does
Dual Drive splits the controls of a single player body across two separate players. One player takes the Driver role and steers the body through the world: walking, sprinting, jumping, sneaking and steering boats. The other player takes the Observer role, which handles vision, combat, building, item use and inventory management. The Driver has slightly more autonomy for body-centric actions such as eating and using shields, but the Driver's visibility is reduced and the role carries harsher debuffs, so it relies heavily on pings from the other player for navigation.
The mod is built for chaotic co-op survival, custom horror maps and extreme challenges, and can be hosted on a LAN session or a server. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Installation requires Fabric. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.11, under All rights reserved, so the license does not permit redistribution or modification.
Key features
Split body controls
Movement sits with the Driver while vision, combat, building and item use sit with the Observer, so both players must coordinate.
Role swapping
Players can request a swap at any time with a key press.
Danger feedback
In hardcore mode, danger pings produce realistic visual and audio cues that reach the Driver.
Desync recovery
Quick tools such as a resync command repair connection hiccups and glitches without requiring a server reboot.
