Morph: Reborn and Transformed

The return of the legendary Morph mod for Minecraft versions 1.16.5 and above! Completely rewritten from scratch, it offers an updated animation system, mechanics, and functionality while preserving the familiar gameplay that players know.

Core Principle

Eliminate mobs and gain the ability to transform into them at will. This mechanic works with most creatures present in the game, including players, silverfish, and mobs from other mods.

Controls

• The [ key opens and allows navigation through the list of available transformations
• Hold SHIFT for horizontal navigation
• The ~ key adds a transformation to favorites and opens the radial menu of favorite forms

Current Version Features

The mod operates in "classic" mode, familiar to players from older Morph versions (pre-1.12.2). Eliminate creatures, transform into them, and use their abilities. Passive abilities and traits such as slow fall, water breathing, and creative flight are fully functional.

Known Issues

• Mobs from other mods may appear as pigs - this is standard behavior for errors
• Some graphical modifications may interfere with Morph's interface display
• Certain mobs may have incorrect appearance due to NBT data processing specifics

Compatibility with Other Mods

For proper operation with mobs from other mods, Morph uses three types of JSON files:

• Hand Info - created using Tabula, determines hand positioning of the model
• Mob Data - generated by the command /morph resources generate mob, configures transformation characteristics
• NBT Modifiers - created by the command /morph resources generate nbt [entity], manages NBT data preservation

All files are placed in the /config/morph/ folder and can be reloaded via the /morph command or in-game settings.

Technical Details

Morph automatically creates a basic set of mob support, similar to other popular modifications. The system is divided into several file categories, including hand settings, mob data, and NBT modifiers.

Developers of other mods have access to an extended API for easy integration with Morph through IMC messages and ready-made tools.
