LegacyDoll
by TunaFish2K
LegacyDoll is a Forge utility for Minecraft 1.8.9 that draws a paper doll of the player on screen, with the doll's position adjustable.
What it does
Once installed, the mod renders a paper doll on the screen. It is a simple Forge implementation of the paper doll idea for the 1.8.9 version of the game, and it is distributed as a single mod jar placed in the mods folder. Forge Mod Loader is required, since the mod is published only for Forge.
The doll can be placed where the player wants it, through a custom position transform that moves and scales it. The author is TunaFish2K, the source code and issue tracker are public, and the project is released under a custom license that is not open source.
The latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.8.9, published on 2025-11-28, the same day the mod was first released and last updated. No other game version has files at the time of writing.
