Full Metal Combat

Full Metal Combat (FMC) adds rideable mech combat to Minecraft.

Pilot humanoid combat machines with a dedicated cockpit HUD, fight CPU pilots, cloak with optical camouflage, break enemy machines apart part by part, and settle it in a 10-machine Battle Royal.

Features

Three pilotable machines with distinct specs (standard / heavy recon / melee specialist)
Head vulcan, sniper rifle, shotgun, SMG, and a melee cutter with directional techniques
ECS optical camouflage: vanish from sight and radar until you attack
Part destruction: a cracked head fills the radar with static, broken arms slow your lock-on, broken legs cripple mobility
Cockpit HUD with HP / EN / PWR, ammo counters, radar, lock-on markers, and part-damage status
North-up tactical map showing friend and foe, supply areas, and the arena boundary
Battle Royal for up to 10 machines (players + CPU fill) with respawns, destructible supply areas, an arena boundary, and a results screen
Five CPU pilot archetypes across four difficulty ranks (EASY to HARDCORE)
Gallery spectator mode — players who join mid-match can watch the running battle
One-time in-game Setup that only changes game rules — no terrain edits
GM tools: CPU count and difficulty settings, plus an emergency STOP button

Requirements

Minecraft Java Edition 26.1.2
NeoForge 26.1.2.x (26.1.2.73 or later)
Java 25
The same FMC jar on the server and every client

If you are only joining an FMC server, you only need to put the jar into your client mods folder. Server owners must install the same jar on the server and all joining clients.

Quick Start

Put fmc-1.0.0.jar into the mods folder.
Start Minecraft / the server with NeoForge.
Join as an OP player (single-player: create the world with cheats allowed).
Open the FMC Menu — right-click the menu item in hotbar slot 9.
Press Setup, then EXECUTE. This is a one-time world configuration (fall damage off, fixed weather and time, hostile mobs off). It only changes game rules and never touches terrain.
Pick Practice — a machine spawns and you mount up automatically. Learn the controls with no enemies around.
When you are ready, open the menu and start a Battle Royal.

For the full manual — controls, weapons, machines, part destruction, Battle Royal rules, and server setup — please see the User Manual.

Game Modes

Practice

Free practice with no enemies. Swap machines and weapons freely from the loadout screen.

Single Battle

A solo mode against CPU machines with selectable difficulty.

Battle Royal

The main mode. Up to 10 machines (players + CPU fill) parachute in and race to 20 kills in 10 minutes. Supply areas restore HP, parts, EN, and ammo; the orange arena boundary punishes runaways. On HARDCORE difficulty, something drops in mid-match.

Gallery

Spectator mode. Players who join the server mid-match can watch from the gallery and enter the next match.

Controls

W / A / S / D: Move
Mouse: Look / turn
Ctrl (sprint key): Boost dash
Space: Jump
Hold Shift: Charge jump (up to 5 seconds)
Shift + Space: High jump
Shift + move key + Space: Emergency evade
Left-click: Fire / melee
Hold right-click: Rifle scope
Hold C: Power charge (spends EN to raise PWR)
M: Tactical map
F5: Camera switch
Hotbar: Switch weapons

For Server Owners

Install the same jar on the server, join as an OP player, and run Setup from the FMC Menu once.
Server settings are auto-generated at config/srt-server.yml on first launch (weapon damage, match rules, and more are tunable).
A sample docker-compose.yml and a server icon.png are available on the User Manual page.

Notes

All FMC sounds play through the "Hostile Creatures" volume channel — keep it turned on.
Set Particles to "All" (tracer rounds are invisible on "Minimal") and raise render distance to 32 chunks if your machine allows.
Machines crush players on foot — never stand at a machine's feet.
Currently targets Minecraft 26.1.2 only.
