Mannequin
by ica
Mannequin lets players sever limbs with swords and axes, turn a drained character into a doll, and reattach limbs to dolls, on Fabric for 1.21.8.
What it does
Holding the wielding, sword, axe, hold interact and attack buttons together severs one limb of a target. Swords cut arms and axes chop legs, and an axe can even separate heads and torsos. Anything with a detached limb can be displayed or offered as a gift to another player, who may cling to it longingly.
Open wounds bleed, and a character that loses enough blood becomes a doll. Dolls can re-attach limbs to bodies, including limbs that do not belong to them. Instead of treating self-harm as a solo act, the mod gives players a creative, group-oriented set of actions to perform together, with the effects intended for shared roleplay.
Mannequin is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It requires Fabric API, runs on Fabric for 1.21.8 only, and is released under the MIT License. The source code and issue tracker are public.
