The Jacksoning

by mpfaff

In The Jacksoning, one team takes on the role of Michael Jackson while the others act as UN leaders in a Fabric minigame built on the Jacksoning FOREVER map.

FabricServer required, client optionalGNU Affero General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.21.4

What it does

Players are split into teams at the start of a round. The Michael Jackson team begins with a fortress entity that lets him respawn, and once that fortress is destroyed he becomes a mere mortal. Before the UN leaders grow strong enough to bring down the fortress, the team has to move fast and win them over. Team change and death are part of the lifecycle, and ability items are handed out during play.

The mod runs on the server and is required there, while clients may leave it out. A sidebar is included for clients who install the mod, giving a clearer view than the vanilla scoreboard. The mod uses Polymer, and Fabric API is also needed. A minigame world must be supplied by the server owner, and the mod is still in early stages of development. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.4, with 0.1.0-alpha.8 as the latest build, released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, which is open source.

Key features

  1. Team assignment

    Players are placed into teams when a round starts, with the Michael Jackson role going to one side.

  2. Ability items

    Items that carry abilities are available during play, and essential tools come under the belt for battle.

  3. Purchasable turrets and upgrades

    Players can buy items, turrets and upgrades, plus villagers placed around the map, and turrets may be placed anywhere to fight the other team.

  4. Regenerating minerals

    Minerals regenerate around the map, so teams have a steady supply of resources after their first task.

Questions

Does The Jacksoning need Polymer and Fabric API?

Yes. Polymer and Fabric API are both required dependencies and must be installed alongside The Jacksoning.

Do players need to install The Jacksoning?

No. It is server required and client optional, so clients can join without it, though installing it adds the enhanced sidebar.

Where does the minigame world come from?

The server owner must supply the minigame world. The mod does not include one, and a resource pack is required for the experience.
