Pixel Chameleon
by OddSense
Pixel Chameleon is a Fabric hide-and-seek minigame in which hiders disguise themselves as blocks and seekers hunt them down.
What it does
Players join a round as either hiders or seekers. Hiders are teleported to the spawn coordinates for hiders and go hide, while seekers are teleported to their own spawn coordinates and go seek. The mod uses native Minecraft features rather than overriding gameplay mechanics, which keeps the play closer to familiar survival behavior.
A pose wheel gives hiders a set of poses to choose from, so they can disguise themselves more convincingly. The mod targets small multiplayer groups and works with tools such as Essential or e4mc when they are installed correctly. A dedicated server can host rounds for a group.
Pixel Chameleon is built for Fabric and is published for 1.21.11 only, with the latest file at 1.13.63 from 2026-07-11. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and it is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.

How it compares
Darth Chameleon is a Client and server mod for Fabric, published for 1.21.11 and released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source. TheDru Chameleon, also called Meccha, is Client and server on Fabric for 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, the same version and license terms as this mod. Chameleon: Camo Hide & Seek is for Fabric 1.21.1 only and is also All rights reserved. MC Chameleon is open source under the MIT License, published for Fabric 26.2, so it targets a newer version than Pixel Chameleon.
