Viego Ruins

A single-player adventure in Minecraft Java: explore small ruins as Viego, possess fallen enemies, and defeat the Ruins Guardian.

You’ll need Minecraft: Java Edition and League of Legends installed. The target Minecraft version is 1.21.1. Viego’s assets are loaded at launch from your own LoL installation: model, skeleton, animations, textures, and icons. LoL is used only as a source of files; its client won’t launch. No assets from these games are included in the distributed archive.

What’s in the first version

• Viego with the original base model and textures from your local LoL archive. Original idle, walk, run, two-hit, and lunge animations; smooth transitions; and the sword and crown move with the skeleton. Attack speed is tuned for Minecraft combat.
• A separate set of ruins: the first enemy, archers, guards, and the final Guardian.
• Sword combat and a piercing attack with a cooldown.
• Defeated zombies and skeletons leave behind a floating, glowing soul for 12 seconds. Killing an enemy or approaching it won’t trigger possession. Walk up and press X to pick up the soul and possess the body; you can also pass it by and stay as Viego: the zombie body boosts melee combat, while the skeleton body gives you a bow and increased speed.
• Possession lasts 8 seconds, restores a little health, and changes your appearance.
• Hints, an enemy counter, and a possession timer. All ability keys can be remapped.
• Single-player only. Online play and connecting to other people’s servers aren’t supported.

The game creates a separate ViegoRuins world and restores its arena every time it launches. Regular Minecraft worlds aren’t changed. Quitting or dying starts the adventure over.

On the first launch, sign in to Microsoft with an account that owns Minecraft Java. Your sign-in is saved; Prism automatically installs the required versions of Minecraft, Fabric, and Java. A regular launch doesn’t run the automated test: controls and soul pickup are handled by the player.

Version 0.2.0 passed installation and two three-minute Melty runs; a gameplay recording and screenshot of this version have been uploaded.
