Straw Dummy

by GabrielOlvH

Straw Dummy adds a single placeable training target to Fabric games: a straw figure that can take hits without being destroyed.

FabricClient and serverApache License 2.01.20 – 1.20.1

What it does

The dummy is crafted as an item and placed by right-clicking a block. It has infinite health and full knockback resistance, so it stays in place under repeated attacks, and it shows the damage it has received on its side. Items can be used on it to equip its body and hands.

Recovering the dummy is done by shift-right-clicking it, which returns the figure together with its equipment. Installation needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin on Fabric. The mod runs on client and server, and files exist for 1.20 and 1.20.1, with 1.9.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest release, under the Apache License 2.0.

Key features

  1. Infinite health

    The dummy never dies from attacks, so it can be struck as many times as needed for testing combat.

  2. Damage display

    The damage taken by the dummy is shown on its side, so each hit can be read without a separate tool.

  3. Equippable body

    Items can be placed on the dummy's body, and shift-right-click returns the figure along with its equipment.
