Splatcraft

by Cibernet

Splatcraft brings Splatoon-style ink combat into Minecraft, with weapons, ink mechanics and a turf war mode for players on Forge.

ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.5 – 1.18.2

What it does

Players fight with ink-based weapons across 35 unique weapons and 27 weapon variants, spread over ten classes that range from quick firing guns to slow, heavy launchers. Ink Tanks worn in the chestplate slot refill over time and supply the ammunition for these weapons. Inked Blocks cover the ground in ink of a chosen color, and standing in an opposing color slows a player down while causing constant, non-lethal damage.

Squid Form lets a player submerge in their own ink color to move faster, jump farther, climb Inked Blocks and stay hidden from other players and mobs. Pressing the Z key enters it, and the form also allows passage through smaller gaps and Iron Bars. Turf War adds a team mode where the goal is to cover the map in the team color. Scraps found on the journey, along with Crates that can be inked open, provide Power Eggs, blueprints and cosmetic items.

The mod is published for Forge only, in Client and server form, which means the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.16.5 and 1.18.2, and the latest file is 4.0.1-1.18.2 for 1.18.2, released under the MIT License as open source. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from the project.

Who it’s for: Players who want Splatoon-style shooting in a Minecraft world, and server owners who run team competitions or custom arenas. The mod suits Forge servers because both sides need it.
