Spawn Animations
This server-side mod adds exciting spawn animations to hostile creatures in Minecraft. Instead of the usual instant appearance, monsters now emerge with realistic effects - they can dig out of the ground or materialize in a cloud of particles.
Main Features
The mod works with a wide range of hostile mobs, including zombies, skeletons, spiders, creepers, endermen, slimes, magma cubes, and many others. All animations are designed to minimally impact gameplay - hidden entities become invisible and silent.
An important advantage is that the mod is completely server-side, meaning there's no need to install it on the client. This makes it an ideal solution for multiplayer servers.
Installation and Configuration
You can install Spawn Animations in two ways:
- As a datapack - place the ZIP file in your world's datapacks folder
- As a mod - add the file to the mods folder and install MidnightLib to access settings through the interface
For smoother animations and work with emissive layers, it's recommended to install Pehkui. You can manage settings using the commands /trigger tschipcraft.menu or /function #tschipcraft:menu.
