Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This mod adds the paint gun from Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative (a Portal 2 mod) to Minecraft, as well as the two gels that it shoots.

Holding right click makes the gun shoot propulsion gel, it makes you go fast when you walk on it.

Holding left click makes the gun shoot repulsion gel, it makes you bounce when you hit it.

The gels will despawn over time so you don't have to worry about cleaning up after yourself. If you still want to quickly get rid of a bunch of gel, you can right click it with a wet sponge to clear a large area.

A machine that creates gels and fills the gun
