About this Mod

An adaption of the beloved The Jacksoning FOREVER map for StarCraft 2.

This mod is in the early stages of development. Currently, you must supply the minigame world yourself. One or more compatible worlds will be released at some point in the future. Additionally, there is a resource pack that is required for the experience. This will also be released at some point in the future. Worlds and the resource pack will be released before the mod's first stable release.

The mod must be installed on the server, but is optional for connecting clients. Despite this, the mod is still able to add custom blocks, items, and entities thanks to a library called Polymer. If the mod is installed on the client, an enhanced sidebar will be used for a better experience over the vanilla scoreboard.

Current features, in varying stages of working, include:

  • Turrets
  • Game lifecycle
  • Team assignment
  • Team change on death
  • Ability items

Gameplay

Regardless of your team, your first task should be to acquire some resources. There will be regenerating minerals around the map. With these in hand, you may purchase items, turrets, and upgrades from villagers around the map. Jackson may also purchase several special troops.

Your turrets may be placed anywhere on the map and will fight for your team. They will be essential tools under your belt in the battle to come.

Michael Jackson starts out with a "fortress", an entity that enables him to respawn. Once destroyed, he is a mere mortal.

When killed, UN leaders join the forces of the Dark Lord of Pop, Michael Jackson. They too will respawn so long as Jackson's fortress remains. Otherwise, Jackson must spend some of his resources restoring their lives.

Tips

UN leaders, don't let your guard down! Michael Jackson and members of his team may be around every corner, laying in wait to corrupt you.

Michael Jackson, don't think yourself invulnerable! There is strength in numbers. You must act quickly to corrupt UN leaders before they gain enough strength to destroy your fortress.
