MC Chameleon
by nukebob
With MC Chameleon, a player takes the form of a Minecraft block to hide from hunters in a round-based hide-and-seek minigame.
What it does
MC Chameleon is inspired by the game MECCHA Chameleon and recreates its idea inside Minecraft, where a player's skin canvas is used for disguises. Each round divides players into a hider and hunters: hiders have a set amount of time to hide, then hunters have a set amount of time to seek them out. When an answer is checked, the mod reports whether the player who was found is the correct one. Players standing on the start platform become hunters, and everyone else is assigned a role at random.
Installation requires Fabric API on the loader, and the optional Simple Voice Chat integration is not needed for the core rounds. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod. MC Chameleon is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only, with the 1.2.1 build covering 26.2 and dated 2026-07-26.
Key features
Three custom poses
Hiders can switch between three custom poses that change how their disguise appears during a round.
Adjustable hide and seek times
The hiding and seeking phases each have their own timer, which can be changed in the configuration.
Answer check
An answer check tells the player whether a guess matches the hidden player during the seeking phase.
Platform-based hunter selection
Players who stand on the start platform become hunters, while the remaining players are assigned roles at random.
Configurable options
Round settings are exposed as config options, so server owners can adjust the game without editing code.
