InkCraft
by Tegisvegis
InkCraft brings Splatoon-style ink battles into Minecraft, with inkable terrain, ink-based weapons and inkling characters that fight on the field.
What it does
Players paint surfaces with colored ink, and the mod supports eight distinct inkling colors that teams can pick during a match. Ink-based weapons such as the Splattershot and Splat Bombs cover ground in the chosen color, and the inkling form lets a player swim through its own ink and move quickly across it.
Inkling battles can involve human players and AI inklings, which fight each other as well. Transforming into an inkling is part of the battle loop, and grates let ink and movement pass through them. Music discs and an iron fence item with inked color alternatives round out the decorative and minigame side of the content.
InkCraft is a Fabric mod for game version 26.1.2, published as beta files since 2026-08-29. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
