One body. Your whole group.
You and your friends share one Minecraft body. Every 60 seconds, someone else takes control while the rest of the group watches. Your inventory, health, hunger, XP, effects and position all carry over to the next player.
How it works
- Bring at least one friend. One person plays while everyone else follows their view.
- You can watch their HUD, inventory and crafting, along with supported vanilla container screens.
- The order is shuffled, and everyone gets a turn before anyone goes again.
- If the active player dies, the relay waits for them to respawn. It also handles players disconnecting.
- There is no set finish line. Stop the relay whenever your challenge is done.
