Shape Shifter Curse 1.10.0[beta]

CurseForge is still manually reviewing new beta versions, so you won't find it in the download page. Download HERE for now until the review is complete

Version 1.10.0 is a major release that introduces a new form progression system, a new crafting system, and many other new features—as well as two brand-new subforms: Avali and Marbled Polecat. It is still a beta version and may differ from the official release

⚠️ Before Updating

• Back up your save files first! Upgrading from 1.9.2 to 1.10.0 is one-way, so protect your precious save files.
• Form rendering has been migrated to Geckolib; AzureLib is no longer needed
• Six new "Active Skill 1–6" keybinds are unbound by default — set them in Controls (the old Origins active keys were removed)

🆕 Form Perk Trees Every final form and sub-form now has its own perk tree: open the tuning screen via the new Form Tuner Beacon, unlock nodes with XP or Glint Prisms; active abilities fire from the number keys, passives are always on.

🏗️ The Altar A new crafting hub powered by moondust: all form trinket recipes moved here from the crafting table, and trinkets can be upgraded further into "+" versions using Catalyst Cores.

🦊 New Sub-Forms

• Avali (Bat form permanent phase): Our alien raptors from another dimension. A star species!
• Marbled Polecat (Snow Fox form permanent phase): A slender weasel predator, with a remarkably flexible neck!

Switch with the new Ripple Mirror item, and return to the main form any time.

🔧 Systems Reworked

• Form system core rewritten: more stable, with form history and fallback protection
• Cursed Moon reworked: reverts forms by record; servers can disable forced transformation
• Instinct is tracked per player — multiplayer desync fixed
• Milk no longer removes the curse effect (Golden Apples / inhibitors do)

🎨 Visual Upgrades

• Many forms now blink and glow in the dark; new sleep, climb and shield animations
• Fixed long-standing multiplayer issues: drifting tails/capes and other players' forms rendering incorrectly

Description

An unknown magical force has altered your body… When the Cursed Moon rises, certain changes begin to manifest within you.

Shape Shifter Curse is a mod that focuses on gradually transforming into different forms based on vanilla creatures under the influence of the "Cursed Moon" and "Instincts" mechanics, gaining their unique abilities and drawbacks - each form with independent models and (potential) special animations!

Features

Tested and Verified Gameplay Experience

Balance IS fun - each form's abilities and disadvantages have undergone multiple iterations and extensive testing to add interesting features while respecting the original game experience.

Carefully Designed Models and Animations

No need to just imagine - each form has its own model, along with matching status animations.

Create Custom Forms and Abilities

Add your own ideas - while there are some limitations, you can customize your own forms through data packs + resource packs, including models, unique abilities, instinct changes, and description texts.

Check wiki for more infomation.

How Do I Begin?

When players first join a world, they will receive the Book of Shape Shifter item - open it and follow the guidance in the achievements page.

Hint: Look for creatures emitting enchantment effects, and collect special drops from creatures during the Cursed Moon event.

Available Forms

Check the mod wiki here:

This mod is still in early development, with more forms to be added later.

Installation

Required Mods

• Azurelib
• Pehkui
• Satin API

Recommended Mods

• First-person Model: while not required for core functionality, it enables proper first-person models and animations for each form, significantly enhancing immersion.
• Rich Translatable Text: you can install this mod to display rich colored text in Book of Shape Shifter.
• Mod Menu: you can conveniently modify the configuration of the mod within the game.
• Leawind's Third Person: Third-person view is the best way to experience various form models and animations. The algorithm used by Leawind's Third Person mod allows comfortable and accurate aiming to any direction in third-person view, just like in first-person view, while achieving a cinematic feel.

Potentially Incompatible Mods

Mods that modify character animations (such as AnimationOverhaul, Emotecraft) may be incompatible. They might not cause logical conflicts, but using them together may break this mod's animations and models.

especially for feral forms...

Mods that modify combat mechanics (like BetterCombat) might cause issues with form abilities related to combat.

Server player optimization mods such as Too Many Players have known issues that can break form animations.

A huge thank you for your generous work that helped enhance this mod!

FAQ:

My character skin got replaced?

After enabling mod content, player skins will be replaced by the mod's built-in skin (aka: the shifter). This is for artistic consistency of form models and respecting other players' characters.
You can retain your own skin by using the in-game command: /shape-shifter-curse keep_original_skin true

Does it work on servers?

Yes!
After version 1.0.5, the mod has achieved full server compatibility. If you encounter any problems, please submit an issue report.

I don't like First-person Model's first-person view

After version 1.0.62, form models can display correctly without FirstPerson mod(though we still recommend FirstPerson mod for enhanced immersion).

How do I transform into other forms?

Please check the mod wiki

Are forms permanent?

Update 1.0.4 added a new feature for permanent form

Please check the mod wiki

I lost Book of Shape Shifter item

You can craft a new one with Untreated Moondust + book.

Is this mod SFW?

Absolutely!

This is my first mod project. Without them as foundation, these ideas would have been difficult to realize.
