A Minecraft Fabric mod that swaps players out with one another. One shared "body" per team. Control rotates between team members on a timer. All members of a team are able to see from the "body's" perspective, including hotbar, inventory, etc. Inspired by Feinberg's 3v3 speedrun race against Ludwig: https://youtu.be/BOVwaLuAGPk
