…He also comes from Animator vs. Animation, but this mod is mostly based on the Minecraft shorts.
By picking a different alt costume, you can also play as other characters like Red, Blue, Green, and Purple… and kind of King Orange? The proportions aren’t the same so idk. Fans of the series might also recognize references on most of the other costumes – there are 16 total and most aren’t shown in the trailer, so try the mod for yourself!
Yellow uses martial arts to fight, as well as pulling out Minecraft weapons like a diamond sword, minecart, dispenser, and more. He can equip and unequip the powerful Command Block Staff for a whole different, powerful moveset that costs meter to use. His normal attacks change to create trails of blocks as a ranged attack, while his strongs and specials become all sorts of different techniques using Minecraft commands (which are all accurate to Minecraft or AvM, by the way).
His home stage, based on King Orange’s bastion remnant, takes place at some point after the events of Animation vs. Minecraft’s third season, with cameos in the background from all of the series’s main stick figure characters. In Aether form, King Orange leaves his throne and becomes a cool boss fight, and the player who defeats him gets to wield the powerful Minecraft Game Icon to enhance their attacks with netherite blocks.

This mod was really fun to work on! I got into AvM recently and binged all 3 seasons, it’s such a good series. The command block staff was part of my inspiration to make Wes’s moveset, so it’s kind of come full circle here.
I originally thought about making King Orange, since he’s best known for doing cool attacks with the staff. But I ended up choosing Yellow, since he has the staff AND he can use other iconic stuff from AvM, like the pig and fishing rod. This decision also allowed me to include more of the lighthearted energy from the series, which wouldn’t fit as well on King Orange. And in the end, I got to include him as an epic boss fight instead! Yellow’s staff moveset is also heavily based on the cool stuff King Orange does during his appearances in AvM.
The animated intro and the stage NPCs really ballooned the scope of this project, since both of them required a lot of extra animation work. It took a while to finish all of that, but I’m super happy with how it turned out in the end, and it was really fun to do more “traditional” animation for a Rivals project. The intro has a couple of rough edges since I don’t really have a good workflow for this kind of stuff haha.
