Become John Fister

You get the six-box body, the cowboy hat, the "Get Parried Chud" shirt and the badge, running Fister's own player simulation at 60 Hz. There is no jump, sprint or stamina: everything comes from your fist and your parry.

• Tap to jab, hold to charge. A charged punch sends mobs flying, and what they hit is what hurts them.
• Hold a full charge to sprint, faster the longer you hold.
• Parry a hit to take no damage, throw the attacker back and get an instant full charge.
• Look down and parry to parry-jump (also how you climb 1-block ledges). Look up and release a full charge to rocket punch.
• In the air: air kick (lock on by holding the crosshair on a target) and dive bomb straight down.
• Stand still, tap and hold: the railing dash. Hold parry to mega-boost it, or parry right before a wall to turn around.
• Grab and throw, piledrive from the air, air tech out of a knockdown, critical fist after a 7-second hold. Don't hold for 10 seconds.

Fister's effects come with it: tinted body states, impact frames, shockwaves and cracks, fire and speed trails, speed lines, screen shake and the original sounds.

Break the world

Charged punches break blocks, dives and ground-punch hops leave craters, the railing dash and air kick tunnel through walls, and fast ragdolls smash weak blocks. Drops work like mining in survival; adventure mode, bedrock, liquids and containers are left alone. Turn it off with /gamerule johnfister:fister_block_breaking false.

Fight John Fister

The John Fister mob (spawn egg in the Spawn Eggs tab) runs his own copy of the same simulation, with a brain pressing his buttons: he closes in, jabs and charges, grabs, parries some of your moves, air-techs out of knockdowns, rocket-punches up at you and dive-bombs from above. Make him passive with /gamerule johnfister:john_fister_hostile false.

Controls

• Fist (tap / hold): left mouse or Space
• Parry: right mouse or Left Ctrl
• Grab / throw / air tech: both mouse buttons, or R
• John Fister mode on/off: G

All rebindable under Controls > John Fister. Settings are in config/johnfister.json. Requires Fabric API; install on both client and server.

Notes

• Tested in single player. Multiplayer should work (everyone needs the mod) but is untested on dedicated servers.
• Finishers kill and launch instead of playing the original finisher animations.
