Swap Pearl

by ProgamerRBX123

Swap Pearl is a Forge magic item mod for Minecraft 1.16.5 that adds a pearl which swaps a player's skin and armor with the target it hits.

What it does

A single pearl item, called the Swap, is the centerpiece. Throwing it at another player exchanges the skin and armor of the two players, so the target briefly appears wearing the thrower's gear and the thrower takes on theirs. Players can use it to set up pranks, confuse opponents during fights, or add a twist to ordinary adventures.

Because the effect changes how players look, a target may not notice the swap right away, which can leave them briefly misjudging who is who. The pearls are limited in number, so each use has a cost, and the mod suggests planning when and where to throw one. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.16.5, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file on the beta channel, released 2023-07-01.

Key features

  1. Swap pearl item

    A pearl that exchanges skin and armor with another player when it hits them.

  2. Limited supply

    Players hold only a limited number of pearls, so each swap has to be used with care.

  3. Confusion in combat

    After a swap the target can look like the thrower, which can leave opponents briefly unsure of their target.

  4. Prank and adventure use

    The effect suits pranks and small twists during ordinary play, not only fights.
