Japes! adds a set of small schoolyard pranks to Minecraft, such as paper balls, folded notes and a taunting sign, played between players.

FabricClient and serverEuropean Union Public License 1.2Open source26.1 – 26.1.2

What it does

Paper balls, folded notes and renamed signs give players light, playful ways to tease each other. Crafting a paper ball is possible, and throwing one at another player can make the target drop their held item when their hand is empty. Creating a folded paper uses sneak and the use key, and a note can be unfolded later to read it.

Some tricks affect combat. Interacting with a block near other players can briefly give the user a combat advantage, and a taunting sign can be obtained by renaming paper and kicking it. Shoelace tying lets a player sneak-interact with someone's feet to untie their laces, and a looking-down disarm removes an item from a target. An item called a leash is craftable from a wind charge, and a chat message can announce a lost game.

The mod runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it installed. It is published for Fabric only, on game version 26.1 – 26.1.2 with three release versions, and the code is under the European Union Public License 1.2, which makes it open source. It requires Fabric API and Trinkets Updated.

Key features

  1. Paper balls and folded notes

    Paper can be thrown as a ball or folded into a note, and the note can be unfolded again by the player who holds it.

  2. Taunting signs

    Renaming paper and kicking it produces a sign, which a player can place to tease others nearby.

  3. Shoelace tying

    Sneaking up to a player's feet and interacting unties their shoelaces, a light prank on the target.

  4. Combat pranks

    Certain blocks and items give a short combat advantage over nearby players, and a disarm triggers when a player looks down.
