SenseSwap is a Fabric mod for Minecraft that turns any multiplayer session into a chaotic and hilarious social challenge. Players are assigned secret roles — Blind, Deaf, Mute, and optionally Dizzy — each with a unique handicap that forces the team to communicate and cooperate in creative ways.
🎮 How it works
An admin runs /ss start and the mod automatically assigns roles to each player:
🔴 Blind — your screen is covered in darkness. You can see almost nothing. 🔵 Deaf — all voice chat audio is completely blocked. You cannot hear your teammates. 🟢 Mute — your microphone is silenced. You cannot speak at all. 🟣 Dizzy (optional, 4th player) — a pulsing border effect distracts your vision.
The catch? You still need to work together to survive or complete objectives. Figure out how to communicate when one of you can't see, one can't hear, and one can't talk.
