Getting started

Two things to craft, four keys to learn. Ten minutes and you are hiding in plain sight.

Getting the gear

You need all four Chameleon pieces. The full set is what unlocks body paint, shrinks you down and hides your name tag; a single piece does nothing.

Then the brush: white wool, string and a stick, stacked in a column.

The four keys

All four are rebindable in the vanilla controls screen.

F with a brush in hand is the one that matters: it freezes you, pulls the camera back and opens the painting tools. Esc steps back out.

R opens the wheel of poses and disguises. G whistles to bait a hunter towards you. C lets a hunter crawl into tight spaces.

The first two are covered in Painting & disguises.

The menu

Press M to open the menu. Right-clicking with the brush in the air and typing /meccha do the same thing. Every action has a button here, so you never need the chat. The menu has four tabs.

• Rooms lists the open rooms, with the public room at the top.
• Room holds the settings of the room you are in.
• Maps has two sub-tabs, Installed and Online (the community maps). See Maps.
• Editor is where operators build and test their own arenas.

You can rebind the key in the Minecraft controls screen. It is M because O opens the vanilla friends list in 26.3.

In a room, the corner panel shows the room, its leader, the phase, your side and your points. The bar at the top counts the timer and the chameleons still out there.
