What is the Chameleon at Home Addon?

Chameleon at Home is a Minecraft Bedrock addon that introduces the ultimate camouflage hide-and-seek experience, directly inspired by the hit game Meccha Cameleon. It allows you to dynamically scan ordinary Minecraft blocks and paint your armor pixel-by-pixel to blend seamlessly into your environment, hiding in plain sight.

Experience thrilling gameplay such as:

Multiplayer Hide and Seek against your friends
Singleplayer hunt modes against AI Camo Dummies
Grid-based texture matching and painting
Body Poses to Hide better
Survival Flight and more!

If you can see it, you can become it!

Latest Update!

Canvas Mode UI: Introducing the seamless continuous painting menu! Instantly paint your armor quadrants with 1-click loop functionality without ever having to back out of the menus.
Live Menu Visuals: Your painting UI now dynamically reads your armor's properties to display the exact block textures currently painted on your body right on the buttons.
Modular Block Dictionary: We've upgraded the backend system! The addon now features a highly optimized modular dictionary array, allowing for flawless block ID detection and expanding support for hundreds of new blocks.
Laser Reveal Phase: Bring advanced tracking to the end-game! When time runs out, surviving Hiders are now marked with a 10-block-tall vertical laser beacon and tracking lines from Seekers, complete with loud pinging audio.
New Pose Engine: Hiders and Singleplayer Dummies can now contort their bodies! Form into a ball, lay perfectly flat, or stand normally to match the geometry of the blocks you are hiding against.

Tools and How to Play

Eyedropper: Your primary sampling tool. Point and use this item on any block within 10 blocks to extract its texture and save it to your temporary memory.
Paintbrush: The core of the addon. Use this item to open the Canvas Mode UI to paint your sampled textures onto your head, chest, legs, or boots. You can also smack a fellow player with it to instantly paint the quadrant you hit!
Color Gun: The Seeker's best friend. Fires a highly visible tracking laser up to 30 blocks away. Hitting a Hider with this weapon will instantly eliminate them with an explosive splash!
Minigame Starter: Use this item to open the setup menu. Choose between Singleplayer (Zombies) or a Multiplayer invite system to assign roles and start the match.

Special Chameleon Blocks & Items

Color Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, and Boots: A fully custom armor set given to Hiders. These pieces are divided into 4 quadrants each, allowing you to mix and match up to 16 different block textures on your body at once.
Hider Dummy: A custom AI entity used in Singleplayer mode. They randomly spawn on top of highest blocks, automatically scan and paint themselves to match the floor, and pick a random pose to hide from you!

Fun Camouflage Mechanics

Dynamic Player Scaling: To truly blend in, you can't be taller than a block! The moment a Hider equips their color armor, the physics engine dynamically shrinks them down to exact block proportions using custom animation scaling.
Hover and Levitation: Jumping or sneaking while tiny applies custom slow-falling and impulse physics, allowing Hiders to glide smoothly into the perfect position. Basically Creative flight in Survival for the Hiders!
Boundary Enforcement: Keeps the game fair. If any player tries to wander beyond the 40-block game radius, they are mathematically calculated and teleported directly back to the edge of the arena.

How to Hide and Seek

Use the Minigame Starter to initialize the arena.
Hiders are given 1 minute to run, sample the environment with the Eyedropper, paint themselves with the Paintbrush, and strike a pose.
Seekers are held at the center with Slowness and Jump Boost to obscure their vision during the hiding phase.
Once the timer hits zero, the 3-minute Seeking Phase begins! Seekers must hunt down the camouflaged players and shoot them with the Color Gun.
If the Seekers eliminate everyone, they win. If any Hider survives the timer, the Hiders win and the dramatic Reveal Phase begins!

Game Phases & Timers

The addon includes a fully automated minigame manager. It handles team shuffling, role assignment, action bar timers, arena boundaries, inventory clearing, and post-game cleanup. The script precisely manages Hiding, Seeking, and Revealing states so you can focus entirely on the fun.
