Chameleon

This mod is heavily inspired by Meccha Chameleon, huge thanks to the team behind it!

In Chameleon, hiders disguise themselves to blend into the world. Open the built-in paint editor and decorate your own skin to match whatever's around you: rough gray stone, knotted wood grain, a scatter of green leaves, mossy brick, packed dirt. The closer your paint matches the texture next to you, the longer you'll last.

Once you've painted yourself, the real game starts, and it's all about placement and posture. Drop into a pose that sells the illusion. Crouch low against a wall, lie flat in the grass, or curl up tight in a corner, then hold completely still somewhere a seeker's eye will skip right over. A clever paint job in a dumb spot gets caught fast. The trick is matching your disguise to the actual location.

Seekers get no help. There are no hitboxes glowing through walls, no floating nametags, and no peeking at debug screens to spot the odd block out. They have to hunt the hard way, by eye and instinct, by noticing the one patch of stone that looks just slightly wrong.

How a match runs

One player hosts. They set the spawn points, assign who hides and who seeks, and start the round. Hiders go first and scatter to paint and position themselves while a timer counts down. Seekers stay penned until the clock hits zero, then they're loosed to comb the map. One tag catches a hider. The last hider left undiscovered wins.

Built for multiplayer

Chameleon runs on servers right out of the box. Match controls are operator-only, so hosting stays in trusted hands. And every custom skin renders live for everyone in the lobby, with no resource packs to download and nothing to sync. Paint it, and the whole server sees it instantly.

How to start?

Open chat and run the command: /chameleon to open the game hosting panel. From there, choose your settings and have fun!
