To Be Player X
by EnsoX
To Be Player X is a Fabric decoration and game mechanics mod for 1.21.11 that turns the Minecraft world into a comic-book scene when the player snaps their fingers.
What it does
Pressing X opens a choice of surfaces. Selecting one starts a transition: an animated comic-book effect spreads outward as a noisy, three-dimensional ink blot, accompanied by a finger-snap sound, and the player enters the drawn dimension. Each surface sets its own gravity direction, so the player can walk on walls and ceilings and the view snaps to the chosen face. Sprinting, jumping, sneaking and creative flight behave as in regular Minecraft.
Inside a drawn dimension, damage from suffocation, drowning and air loss is disabled, and the scene is shaded in comic-book style with vibrant post-processing. A player can leave the surface again with another snap. Its visual style and powers draw on the hero it is named after, though it is an unofficial fan project with no ties to that character's creators or rights holders.
Players can capture mobs inside a surface. A captured mob stays linked to the player who captured it, and another player cannot activate a surface owned by someone else or release its creatures. The mod runs on Fabric for 1.21.11 only, requires Fabric API, and is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Client and server both need it.
