Splattercraft
Splattercraft brings Splatoon-style ink mechanics into Minecraft, with special weapons, ink armor, and ink-based abilities for Forge players on 1.20.1.
What it does
Players fire and spread ink across surfaces, which changes how terrain and fights work. The mod centers on Splatoon-inspired gear and abilities, so a player's weapon and armor choices affect how ink moves and how quickly a player can cover ground.
The mod is a fork of Splatcraft that adds more Splatoon content than the original. It is published for Forge on 1.20.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is released under the MIT License, which makes it open source.
The inkAbilityWhitelist setting in the splatcraft config must be set to true before the mod's abilities can be used, and server owners can restrict which players may use the mod's features.
Key features
Special weapons
Special weapons fire ink in patterns suited to area coverage and combat, drawn from the Splatoon series.
Ink armor
Armor pieces built around ink add protection and movement effects to the player's loadout.
Bomb rush
The bomb rush ability lets a player launch a sequence of ink bombs in quick succession.
Triple Inkstrike
Triple Inkstrike calls down three ink strikes on a target area, covering a wide region at once.
Per-player ability access
A whitelist setting controls which players can use the mod's abilities, so server owners can limit access.

Use cases
Splatoon-style servers
Server owners who want ink-based combat and territory play can add the mod's weapons and abilities to a Forge 1.20.1 server, with the whitelist set to decide who may use them.
Single-player ink play
Players who want to try the Splatoon mechanics alone can install the mod on a Forge 1.20.1 client with a local world and use the weapons and armor directly.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players and server owners who want Splatoon-inspired ink mechanics on Forge 1.20.1. It is most relevant to groups that play together on a server, since both sides must run the mod and the ability whitelist is set per server.
