Saros Char System
by Sarocesch
Saros Char System lets a server host several roleplay characters per player, each with its own inventory, position, health and appearance, switched in play.
What it does
Players create characters with the createchar command and switch between them with char. Each character carries a name, birth date and gender, and keeps separate inventory, hunger, health and position. Those values are saved and loaded automatically whenever a switch happens, so a character resumes where it was left.
Character data is stored on the server in JSON files under data/chars, and the active character is tracked in a separate file. The mod is built for roleplay servers and adds a layer of character depth to a Minecraft world without changing the vanilla gameplay underneath. Forge is the only loader, and Saros Char System runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Files are available for 1.20.1, 26.2 and 26.3, and the latest file is 1.4-forge-26.3 from 2026-09-22. The code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners and players of roleplay servers who want several characters per player. Players do not need the mod installed on their own game.
How it compares
Global Character Replace is client-side only and works on the player side rather than the server, with files for 1.20.1 under the MIT License. Mid-Air mod runs on client and server for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, so it must be installed on both sides. DragonMine Z: Character Slots needs the client and treats the server as optional, licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.20.1.
