TheDru Chameleon (Meccha)
by TheDru
TheDru Chameleon is a Fabric minigame that turns hide-and-seek into a round of painting, shrinking and power-up timing, with hiders disguised as parts of the map.
What it does
Hiders shrink down and paint themselves to blend into custom maps, then collect power-ups and taunt seekers while they try to survive until time runs out. A painted body stays frozen in place, and sampling a map color lets a hider copy the blocks around it. Hiders can pick up to 3 power-ups per round, and the power-ups spawn around regions the server configures on the map.
Seekers are full-sized hunters equipped with tools such as reveal pulses and a blaster meant to drive hiders out of their cover. A seeker has to sweep the map, listen for taunts and watch for suspicious colors, then use reveal tools carefully. Scores carry over between rounds until the match is stopped and reset. The mod is set on the same game as Mecha Chameleon, and it runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. Only version 1.21.11 is covered, and the latest Fabric file is 1.6.2 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-07-11.
Key features
Painting and shrinking
Hiders shrink and paint themselves into the map, which makes each round a question of when to move.
Map color sampling
Sampling a color lets a hider match the blocks around them, so the disguise depends on the surrounding patch.
Power-up pickups
Power-ups spawn around configured regions, and each hider may collect up to 3 per round.
Reveal tools
Seekers carry reveal pulses and a blaster that flush out hiders who blend in too well.
Persistent match scores
Points persist from one round to the next until someone halts the match and resets them, so a session accumulates across several games.
