Roundabout: The JoJo Mod

Roundabout is a mod by Hydraheads based on the popular anime Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, where ordinary people develop supernatural powers. Roundabout seeks to faithfully recreate the world of Jojo into the world of Minecraft, in a way that fits into the MC aesthetic and design philosophy. It expands the game's combat, building options, exploration, and world building, while having controls that are easy to understand and intuitive.

The mod is finall released, alongisde the fourth stand: Magician's Red! Expect Part 7 and 8 content to come in anticipation for Part 7's anime release!

We have a wiki for in depth explanations!

In this mod, you can acquire stand powers by using a stand arrow. Stand arrows can be acquired through crafting with meteorites found across the world, but they can also be dug up through archaeology. By using 15 experience levels, you can give yourself a stand. The arrow tells you what stand it is holding when you first interact with it, and you can spend 1 experience level to randomly change it by sneaking when you interact with it.

But other mobs can also be stand users- every mob has a 1 in 20 chance to spawn worthy of a stand. The stand arrow vibrates near worthy mobs, and if you use a bow you can shoot the mobs with it, making them acquire the stand that the arrow says it is holding.

When a peaceful mob acquires a stand, it will develop fighting instincts, so it can now defend itself. This means you can eventually breed for pets with stands, and maybe eventually have a village of only stand users. This works with mobs from other mods, too. The only limit is your imagination!

In addition -to this, 0.5% of all mobs have the chance to spawn naturally with a stand. This means you will occasionally stumble upon a monster that is harder to deal with, or an animal that fights back when you go to kill it. Just like in Jojo, only stand users can see stands, so you will be confronting the unknown until you yourself have a stand!

Press R by default to summon and desummon your stand, and sneak/crouch gives you access to even more moves. Often times, blocking does as well.

There are currently 21 stands in the mod (13 main, 8 specialized). Many more will be added over time.

Star Platinum:

Star Platinum is a powerful, well-rounded stand that focuses on its incredible precision. It can zoom in like a sniper, and throw blocks and items with 100% accuracy very far away. It has powerful attacks, and the ability to stop time. Its throw ability is very good for building, and it can do big leaps giving it good mobility. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/KkwdlqHLiYs" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The World:

The World is a stand that focuses on power, making it a less accurate Star Platinum that can dish out more attacks at a closer range. Like Star Platinum, it is useful for building and has good mobility. It can stop time for 9 whole seconds when its timestop is fully charged, giving you a lot of time to think and act. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/xn-UjAv1tQ8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Justice:

Justice is a powerful fog based stands that lets you raise an undead army, necromancy style. You can control them like a 3rd person real time strategy game. You can shapeshift with fog, create illusion clones, drag people around from open wounds, and create illusionary structures made of fog blocks. It is every bit as powerful as the other stands. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/W3XYZDZkRKk" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Magician's Red:

Magician's Red is a powerful fire based stand that can spread stand flames everywhere, and extinguish them all with the snap of a finger. It focuses on mid to long ranged attacks, and can keep foes at a distance with its explosive knockback. The stand can also be used to freely light up furnaces, blast furnaces, and smokers. The flames it creates are invisible to non stand users, much like the stand itself. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/DzJ8oAIZ05Y" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Ratt:

Ratt is a ranged stand that can be placed like a turret or manually fired. Its main gimmick is the flesh melting, which decreases maximum health temporarily, and you can pick up flesh piles in buckets and even eat them! Ratt hangs out on your shoulder when not deployed, and can be used to zoom in like a scope. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/4HxpiGlKPEs" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
