Keybinds and Commands

Fastest way to start a game

You do not need to learn any commands. As the host (an operator):

• /chameleon play — instant game. Auto-splits everyone online into teams and starts hiding right where you're standing — no lobby, no map setup, nothing to configure.
• /chameleon — opens the clickable host panel for everything else (map vote, teams, timers, mode, world rules).

The very first time anyone joins with the mod, a "How to Play" card pops up in chat automatically. Reopen it any time with /chameleonhelp.

Keybinds

All keys are rebindable in Options → Controls → "Chameleon". Defaults:

Key	Action	Who
G	Open the Paint Studio (paint camo on your skin)	Hiders
K	Toggle Auto-Camouflage (quick blend, if the host enabled it)	Hiders
V	Toggle Wall Cling — climb walls/fences/ceilings (hold Sprint = climb faster)	Hiders
X	Lock In Place (freeze your body, look around freely)	Hiders
R	Open the Pose Wheel	Hiders
C	Place / pick up a Decoy clone	Hiders
H	Whistle	Hiders
Left-click	Fire the Paint Shotgun	Seekers
B	Free-look camera (when eliminated / locked)	Spectating
← / →	Spectate: follow previous / next player	Spectating
N	Spectate: open the player list	Spectating

Inside the Paint Studio: middle-mouse drag = eyedropper (sample a block, painting, or texture; release to apply). Ctrl+Z = undo. Overspill toggle wraps paint around edges so your sides/back match automatically.

Commands

Anyone

Command	Does
/chameleonhelp	Reopen the "How to Play" card
/mcinfo	Show your version, the server's version, and round state — run this first if something "isn't working" (usually a version mismatch — see Multiplayer Setup)

Host (needs operator / op)

Command	Does
/chameleon play	Instant game — auto teams + start hiding in place, zero setup
/chameleon (or /mcadmin)	Open the full clickable host panel
/mclobby [set]	Go to the lobby · set saves the current spot as the lobby spawn
/mcstart [map]	Start a round (optionally on a named map; otherwise a random saved one)
/mcvote [secs]	Open a map vote
/mcrandom	Shuffle teams (swaps roles in Double mode)
/mcstop	Stop the current round
/mcmap add|remove|list|tp <name>	Manage arenas — add saves your current position as a map
/mcpaint	Give yourself the painting-placer tool (decorate arenas)

You almost never type these — the /chameleon panel has a button for all of it. Everything else (timers, mode, camo, world rules, team assign) lives under one tidy settings command so it doesn't clutter your chat:

/mcx — settings (or just use the panel buttons)

Command	Does
/mcx preset quick|classic|long	Set all timers at once (Classic is the default)
/mcx mode normal|infection|double	Set the [[Game Modes
/mcx camo on|off	Allow hiders' Auto-Camouflage ability
/mcx rule break|punch|doors|trapdoors|falldamage on|off	Toggle a world rule
/mcx lock · /mcx unlock	Lock / unlock all players in place
/mcx clearpaint	Wipe everyone's skin paint
/mcx assign <player> 0|1|2	Manually set a player's team

Fair-play note

While a round is running, entity hitboxes (F3+B) are disabled so a seeker can't use them to spot hidden chameleons. It works normally again once the round ends.
