Install
You can download the latest version of Swapocalypse through the Modrinth App or directly from this project page!
There are two versions: the datapack version, which you need to install manually in each world, and the mod version, which is just a repackaged datapack that will run in each world in the instance automatically. The functions of both are identical.

- Easier way to switch between spectator and player (planned)
- Swap players at a random time range (e.g every 3 - 5 minutes) (planned)
- Teams mode (planned)
- Make a Wiki (planned - select the Wiki tab at the top!)
