Description

A full-power shot flies into the net: GOAL! Steve scores against Blue!

Soccer that plays by Minecraft's rules. Kick, curl, chip and dribble a ball around a pitch you build from blocks, then earn cleats, goalkeeper gloves and the Golden Ball from a Footballer villager. Works in singleplayer and on servers.

Playing

Do this Get this
Walk into the ball Dribble it straight where you're facing
Left-click Kick where you look. Power comes from the attack-cooldown meter: spam for taps, wait for full power
Sneak + left-click A soft pass
Sprint + left-click A power shot
Aim at the ball's right / left edge It curls left / right (aim at the middle for a straight shot)
Aim at the bottom / top of the ball Chip it / keep it low
Look down and tap a dropping ball Keepy-uppy: it pops straight up (the count shows above your hotbar)
Let it drop on your head Header where you look (look up to loop it, down to head it at the ground)
Right-click Trap it dead, or recolor it with a dye
Sneak + right-click Pick it up
Right-click the air with a ball Throw-in

The ground matters: ice keeps it rolling, slime is a trampoline, soul sand and honey are mud, wool and hay soak up bounces, and it floats on water. Target blocks give a redstone signal and bells ring when you hit them.

Building a pitch

  • Goal Frame: joins up with neighbouring frames, so a stack makes a post and a row makes the crossbar.
  • Goal Net: see-through netting for the back, sides and roof. It catches the ball.
  • Goal Line: lay it on the floor inside the goal. When the middle of the ball is over it: GOAL! Dye it to show whose goal it is. Every goal sends a one-second redstone pulse, for your own fireworks or lights.
  • Kickoff Spot: three seconds after a goal, the ball comes back to the nearest one (within 64 blocks).

Or spawn a ready-made 37 x 21 pitch with a red and a blue goal: stand where you want its corner and run /place template soccer:pitch ~ ~-1 ~

Gear and progression

  • Soccer Cleats (leather boots + 2 iron nuggets): kick 10% harder, run a little faster, dye them any color.
  • Goalkeeper Gloves: right-click a ball to catch it. Holding it, left-click punts it wherever you look and right-click throws it. You can only hold it for 6 seconds.
  • Boot enchantments: Power Shot I-III, First Touch I-II, and Curve I-III (never from the enchanting table: buy it from Footballers or wandering traders).
  • Footballer villager: give a villager a Kit Rack (2 planks, 3 wooden slabs and a ball). They trade balls, cleats, nets, gloves, frames and enchanted books, and at master level the Golden Ball.
  • Overworld Cup trophy: a Golden Ball and 6 gold ingots.
  • Advancements under "Overworld Cup", and soccer stats (kicks, goals, headers, saves, best keepy-uppy) on the Statistics screen.
