Illusionable

Illusionable is a Fabric-based Minecraft mod that introduces an illusion system and perception-altering effects. It allows players to manipulate visibility and awareness in various ways.

Through the illusion mechanics, certain entities can become invisible to most, remaining visible only to designated targets. This opens up possibilities for covert scouting, selective interaction, and strategic deception in multiplayer.

The mod was inspired by and continues ideas implemented in the NeMuelch project.

Features

Illusion System

Illusions are entities that are normally invisible to others. However, you can designate specific creatures as targets, and then they'll be able to see the illusion while everyone else remains unaware.

Perception Details

Entities that cannot detect illusions won't:

• See their visual rendering
• See debug hitboxes (F3 + B), except for server admins
• Hear their step sounds
• Target them as AI-driven entities (for example, zombies won't chase players who are illusions)

With the Simple Voice Chat mod installed, only designated targets will be able to hear the illusory creature's speech.

Working with Illusions

You can create multiple illusions and assign targets (including mobs). Illusory entities are only visible to and interact with their targets while remaining hidden from others.

• Create illusion: /illusion set <illusionEntity> true
• Remove illusion: /illusion set <illusionEntity> false (removes all targets automatically)
• Add target: /illusion add <illusionEntity> <targetEntity>
• Remove target: /illusion remove <illusionEntity> <targetEntity>
• Remove all targets: /illusion remove <illusionEntity>

Obfuscation Effect

Obfuscation is a new status effect that scrambles an entity's name tag. When applied to a player, it also:

• Scrambles their name in the player list
• Displays a blacked-out skin in the player list

You can watch demo videos on YouTube to better understand all the mod's capabilities.
