Real Football⚽

by MontSnacek

Real Football⚽ puts a football match inside Minecraft, with a ball entity, clubs, a referee, and a single in-game menu that runs the whole game.

What it does

A football ball exists as a separate entity with a three-dimensional model and simulated physics, which lets it be kicked, dropped on the ground, or left lying on the pitch. Players set up a match through one menu: generate a pitch from a marked stadium region, pick Team 1 against Team 2, and kick off. Goal lines and out-of-play areas are detected through a goal-line and out-of-play system, and goals are detected automatically, with the last touch credited as the scorer and the previous touch as the assist. Own goals are marked OG. Shots can be a power shot, a low pass or a high pass, and skills such as dribble, spin, rainbow, flick and slide are available.

Matches can run in three formats, including a Friendly League Cup. Halves, periods and overtime can be started, stopped and resumed, and a penalty shootout settles a match that stays level. A live score shows during play with a goal animation overlay, and a final screen lists scorers, assists and own goals. Results are saved to a scoreboard file, and match reports keep the result, format, scorers and assists. The mod is written for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and is licensed under the MIT License, though it is not open source. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.

Key features

  1. Ball entity with physics

    The football is a 3D entity with physics that can be kicked, dropped as an item or placed on the pitch.

  2. Match setup from one menu

    The optool menu covers pitch generation, team selection, kick off and match settings, so no commands must be memorised.

  3. Automatic goal and assist tracking

    Goals are detected automatically, with the last touch credited as scorer and the previous touch as the assist, while a referee can still approve or wave off a goal.

  4. Live scoreboards and reports

    A live score shows during play with a goal animation, and the final overlay marks own goals as OG and saves a full match report.

⚽ Real football matches inside Minecraft — a real ball, real clubs, a real referee. Kick off a match, run a club, let the ref make the call. Everything lives in one in-game menu, so nobody has to memorise commands.
