MECCHA CHAMELEON
MECCHA CHAMELEON is a Fabric minigame in which hiders paint their skin to blend into the map while seekers hunt them down.
What it does
Players hide by painting their skin to match the surroundings, then strike poses against walls, ceilings or sticks so they are harder to spot. A paint brush, eyedropper and fill bucket work on a live skin, and a pose menu handles the body positions. During the hide phase, hiders get prep tools, a freecam and a rotation lock that freezes the body while the head can still look around.
Seekers use a gun to find hiders. The mode supports normal games and an infection variant, plus a double hunt in which hiders keep their paint, poses and sticking ability and still receive a gun. The mod is a fan-made tribute inspired by the original MECCHA CHAMELEON game and is not affiliated with it.
Installation needs Fabric Loader and Fabric API on the client and on the server, since the environment is client and server. Files exist for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest release, and the code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which is not open source.
