Play as Overwatch's Genji in Minecraft. This mod recreates his full kit with custom first-person animations, sounds, and a HUD, tuned to feel like late Overwatch 1 / early Overwatch 2 (pre-Season-9 dragonblade timing).
Abilities
| Input | Ability |
|---|---|
| Left click (hold) | Shuriken, 3-shot burst |
| Right click (hold) | Shuriken, fan of 3 |
| Q | Deflect |
| Left Alt | Swift Strike (dash) |
| B | Nano Boost (at 100% charge) |
| V | Dragonblade (at 100% ult charge) |
| Space (mid-air) | Double jump |
| Space (against a wall, mid-air) | Wall climb |
Shuriken headshots deal 1.5x damage with their own hit sound and crit particles. Ult and Nano charge build from damage you deal, shown on the HUD. Activating Dragonblade swaps your shurikens for the blade until it ends, exactly like the hero swap flow in Overwatch.
What to expect
Deflect reflects arrows, tridents, fireballs and other projectiles back where they came from. Swift Strike resets on Dragonblade activation. Nano Boost speeds up your slashes and boosts damage. All damage numbers, cooldowns and durations can be tuned in config/genji-common.toml.

- Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge
