Simon Says: Obey
by Shady1545
Simon Says: Obey is a Forge minigame in which a player follows a voice that issues commands, and disobedience brings a figure closer.
What it does
Only Simon may say the words Simon Says. Other instructions look almost identical but were never given by him, so the player has to listen closely and decide which ones to obey.
The first games appear simple. As play continues, Simon becomes less forgiving: commands grow more deceptive, time limits change, and the gap between a real instruction and a trap widens. Each mistake makes his presence more noticeable, and sightings of him standing far off among the trees or in the dark, plus stalking events, mark the progression toward a hunt. The command display is drawn on screen, and Simon's voice lines play during the sessions.
The client needs the mod; a server can run it for extra features. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Files are published for Forge only, across six release versions, and the latest build is 1.0.0 for 1.20.6, released on 2026-08-12.
Key features
Simon Says command system
Commands cover jumping, crouching, turning, looking, moving, stopping and interacting with the world.
Real and fake commands
Only Simon's real instructions count, while lookalike commands trap players who act on them.
Timed challenges
Time limits shift as the game moves on, so a command must be carried out within a changing window.
Stalking and sightings
Simon appears at a distance in the dark and between trees, and mistakes bring him closer over time.

How it compares
Copycat | Mimic is a Forge option that runs on client and server, and it is released under the MIT License, so its code is open. The Presence: Unknown is a Forge build for 1.20.1 only that needs both sides, under All rights reserved. Simon Says: Obey takes the client-required, server-optional path and is not open source.

What the author says
If Simon says it, obey. If he doesn’t, don’t. At first, the game seems simple. Simon gives you commands such as jumping, crouching, turning around, looking in certain directions, opening your inventory, moving, stopping, or interacting with the world.
