# Aura Battles
Two players, face to face. Nobody touches. Nobody speaks. Just poses, auras, and
a crowd of mobs deciding who has more flow.
## How it works
You start the duel with a command and the show begins:
- Both fighters light up with an **aura** (14 colors, drawn so the two are always
easy to tell apart).
- They start **dancing** — 34 absurd animations, from the griddy to a superhero
landing.
- **Every mob within 24 blocks drops what it was doing**, turns around, and
**votes**.
- Your aura grows or shrinks with your support. No bars, no numbers: **the size
of the aura is the scoreboard**.
## The crowd
- Every spectator wears a **mini aura** in the color of whoever they voted for.
The crowd itself becomes the result.
- They **bounce and sway to the beat** of their side's dance.
- **Chickens count as five votes.** No explanation.
- A **traitor** switches sides two seconds before the end.
- The **enderman** teleports in for a front-row seat.
- The **creeper** gets too excited and blows up.
## And the winner is... whoever
The winner is **completely random**. You can have the whole village behind you,
a massive aura, and still lose. That's the point — the injustice is the joke.
## The dances
Press **V** for a quick wheel of 8 random dances — pick with the mouse or keys
1-8. **X** to stop cold.
The crowd's taste **shifts on its own** every few seconds, so it's not just
*which* dance you pick, it's **when**. And there's no way to know.
## For the loser
Either they get launched backwards, or **the ground swallows them** in shame and
spits them back out beside the arena like nothing happened.
## Modes
- **Automatic** — dances are drawn for you, you just pose.
- **Manual** — you pick them, and the duel never expires. For scripted recording.
- **Test rival** — a full duel on your own, with a crowd summoned for you.
- **Boss duels** against modded bosses, configurable by entity id.
