Mafia
by nukebob
Players who gather around a table for the social deduction game Mafia can run it in Minecraft through the Mafia mod, a Fabric minigame that recreates the game with voice chat.
What it does
Mafia recreates the social deduction game of the same name inside Minecraft, where players are split into town members and mafia members and try to identify each other through discussion and voting. The number of mafia players is set by the group, and every game always has one sheriff and four town members, so the roles are fixed in the same way at each start. The mod is built for players seated together in a circle, and the author suggests playing with brightness at its minimum and chat hidden.
The mod requires Fabric API and Simple Voice Chat, so the voice chat channel carries the discussion between players. Multiplayer works through a LAN or server setup, and a singleplayer world can be loaded with the same world file. The mod is published for Fabric on 1.21.1 only, with the latest file at 1.0.4, released on 2025-05-22, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is available publicly, and the mod is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, which means it is not open source.

My Mafia mod aimed to recreate the social game - mafia which is played sitting in a circle (this mod uses veil! yippie) replacing (mafias) with the number of mafias you want in the game. There will always be 1 sheriff 4. This game is best played with brightness on minimum and chat hidden
