Install

You can download the latest version of Swapocalypse through the Modrinth App or directly from this project page!

There are two versions: the datapack version, which you need to install manually in each world, and the mod version, which is just a repackaged datapack that will run in each world in the instance automatically. The functions of both are identical.

Roadmap

These features may be added in future updates, however they are not guaranteed. Bug fixes are generally prioritised over these.

• Detect players sitting on the death screen after a non-elimination death (planned)
• Easier way to switch between spectator and player (planned)
• Swap players at a random time range (e.g every 3 - 5 minutes) (planned)
• Teams mode (planned)
• Make a Wiki (planned - select the Wiki tab at the top!)
