🎭 Possessor: Ultimate Social Deduction
A Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 Mod for Paranoia & Deception
THIS MOD REQUIRE A MAP (Click here to download it)
Inspired by the greats of the social deduction genre, Possessor transforms your Minecraft server into a psychological battlefield. Designed for 4 to 12 players, this mod places an invisible threat in your midst. Trust is a luxury; survival is a choice.
🎮 The Core Concept
The game revolves around a deadly game of cat and mouse:
- The Possessor: A secretly designated player whose mission is to eliminate all Innocents. They don't just kill; they infiltrate. By taking control of an Innocent's body, they can frame others, move undetected, and sow chaos from within.
- The Innocents: Their goal is simple—survive and identify the threat. They must use logic, observation, and teamwork to deduce who among them is no longer who they claim to be.
🚀 Key Features & Mechanics
👥 Advanced Identity Theft
The Possessor doesn't just hide; they replace. Integration with SkinRestorer allows the Possessor to instantly swap their skin and username to match their victim.
Note: This is an "instant" disguise, making it nearly impossible to tell the difference without witnessing the transformation.
🕵️ Anti-Cheat & Anonymity
To ensure the integrity of the game, the mod enforces strict anonymity:
- Hidden Nametags: You cannot see names through walls or above heads from a distance.
- Obfuscated Tab List: The player list (Tab) is randomized and hidden during the match to prevent players from checking who is "online" or "active."
🔄 Automated Gameplay Loop
The mod handles the heavy lifting through four distinct phases:
- The Revelation: Roles are assigned. The screen fades, and your destiny is revealed.
- The Selection: A brief tactical window where the Possessor selects their prey.
- The Hunt (Gameplay): Players explore the map, complete tasks (optional), and interact. The Possessor strikes when the time is right.
- The Council (Voting): When a body is found or suspicion peaks, players gather. In a unique twist, voting is physical: you cast your vote by striking the player you suspect.
👻 Ghost Mode (Spectators)
Death isn't the end of the fun. Eliminated players are automatically sent to a designated spectator area. From there, they can watch the drama unfold without the ability to "ghost" or leak information to the living.
🛠️ Configuration & Admin Commands
The mod is designed to be "plug-and-play" with minimal setup required.
| Command | Permission | Description |
|---|---|---|
/possessor start |
OP | Initializes the game and assigns roles. |
/possessor stop |
OP | Force-ends the match and resets player skins. |
/possessor skip |
OP | Skips the current timer/phase (useful for slow voters). |
/tag <name> add noPlay |
Admin | Flags a player (like a cameraman) to be ignored by game logic. |
📦 Installation & Dependencies
To run Possessor, ensure your server and clients have the following installed:
- Platform: Minecraft Forge 1.20.1
- Mandatory Dependency: SkinRestorer (Forge) — Crucial for the identity theft mechanic.
- Recommended: A dedicated map with plenty of hiding spots and narrow corridors to maximize the tension.
💡 Pro-Tip for Admins
Use the /tag @s add noPlay command if you want to record the game as a "Spectator-Cam" without being selected as the Possessor or an Innocent!
