Mob Forms - Morph into Modded & Vanilla Mobs

MOB FORMS

Become Any Mob

Defeat a mob. Take its form. Live as it for real.

Minecraft versions: 1.20.1 · 1.20.4 · 1.21.11 · 26.2 · 26.3

Mob Forms is more than a simple skin swap. Every transformation gives you the mob's actual body, behavior, movement, abilities, sounds and personality.

Experience its real size, health, damage, movement speed, animations and unique mechanics. The world reacts to you just as it would to the real creature.

Hunt as a Warden, soar as a Ghast, explode as a Creeper, live inside a real beehive as a Bee, or let your friends ride you as a Horse.

Every supported Minecraft version includes the same Mob Forms features.

✦ HIGHLIGHTS

Mob Forms Survival: A complete game mode where you survive as one mob, or choose up to 9 forms.

Almost every mob is playable: Including babies, biome variants, professions, colors and more.

Two unique abilities: Use your mob's abilities with the R and J keys.

Authentic mob behavior: Real movement speeds, immunities, transformations, particles, anger and hidden mechanics.

Unique survival mechanics: Every form has its own diet, inventory size and way of living.

Multiplayer features: Ride other players like real mobs, use saddles and harnesses, and play together in LAN or on servers.

Admin permissions: The host controls the rules and decides what other admins can change.

Modded mob support: Creatures from other mods can also become playable forms.

Highly configurable: Customize your experience with many gameplay rules and translations in 61 languages.

✦ HOW TO GET STARTED

1. Find a Xenita Meteorite

Meteorite craters can appear in any Overworld biome. Each crater contains 2 to 5 Xenita blocks in the center.

Look for the campfire smoke rising from the crater to find one.

Mine Xenita with an iron pickaxe or better, then smelt Raw Xenita into ingots.

Be careful: The fires inside the crater never go out on their own. Extinguish them by hitting them, using water, or breaking the block underneath.

2. Craft the Shapeshifter Amulet

Craft it using:

Gold Ingots in the corners.

Xenita Ingots on the sides.

Redstone Dust in the center.

3. Collect Mob Forms

Kill a mob while the Shapeshifter Amulet is in your inventory to permanently unlock its form.

Every variant counts as a separate form, so you can collect babies, different colors, biome variants and more.

4. Transform!

Right-click with the amulet to open the form selector.

You can organize your collection by:

Sorting: Normal, A–Z or Recent.

Filtering: All, Hostile or Neutral.

The amulet has 13 uses:

Most forms cost 1 use.

Powerful forms cost 5 uses.

Boss forms cost 8 uses.

Press H to return to human form for free.

✦ SERVERS & MULTIPLAYER

Mob Forms is designed to be played with friends. Its multiplayer features work in both LAN worlds and dedicated servers.

Ride Your Friends

Players can ride other transformed players, just like real mobs.

Examples:

Skeletons can ride Spider players.

Baby Zombies can ride Chicken players.

Players can ride Horse, Donkey, Mule, Skeleton Horse, Zombie Horse, Camel, Pig, Strider and Llama players.

Saddles work like they do in vanilla Minecraft:

Right-click to put on a saddle.

Use shears to remove it.

Only saddled mobs can be controlled.

Pigs use a Carrot on a Stick, while Striders use a Warped Fungus on a Stick.

Saddles are visible on the transformed mob.

Happy Ghast: Equip a harness to let up to 4 players ride it. The first player to mount controls its movement.

Horse: Press R to rear up and throw off your riders. Every rideable mob can also throw off its rider.

Jockeys: Unlock Spider Jockey and Chicken Jockey forms by killing an actual jockey.

Admin Permissions

The host has full control over the mod's rules.

In LAN worlds, the host is the player who opened the world to LAN.

On dedicated servers, the host role belongs to the server operators.

Open Admin Permissions inside Mod Rules to view players and assign admins.

The host always has the highest level of authority:

Nobody can remove the host.

Admins can appoint other admins.

Only the host can remove admins.

The host decides whether admins can modify rules and exactly which rules they can access.

Admin command:

/mobforms unlock <players>

Unlocks every form for the specified players. Available to the host and admins.

Lock Options: Permanently lock a world's rules, similar to Minecraft's difficulty lock.

Play Together

Player Names: Display each transformed player's name above their mob.

Locator Bar: Available in 1.21.11, 26.2 and 26.3. Choose whether transformed players appear on the locator bar.

Chat Messages: Transformed players appear with their mob name. For example: Lucas (Enderman) died.

Beehive Players: Players inside a beehive are hidden from the outside and become truly bee-sized.

Joining Players: Players who join a world can immediately see everyone who is already transformed.

Warden: Its antennas light up when it hears something nearby.

✦ THE WORLD REACTS TO YOU

The world treats you according to the mob you become.

Hostile mobs only attack you if they would normally attack your chosen form.

As a Zombie, Villagers flee from you.

As a Villager, Zombies hunt you.

Golems attack you when your form is considered hostile.

You can also enable Hostile Mobs in Mod Rules to make monsters attack you regardless of your current form.

✦ REAL SURVIVAL

Surviving as a mob means adapting to its actual needs.

Diet

Every form has its own food requirements, and the hunger bar reflects its diet.

Animals can also eat directly from the world, including grass, crops and berries.

Inventory

Inventory size depends on the mob's body and characteristics, ranging from 36 slots for humanoid mobs down to just 1 slot for fish.

Hands & Interaction

Only mobs with hands can craft and interact with certain objects, such as doors, chests and buttons.

Difficulty

Choose between the Easy, Medium and Hard presets, or customize every survival rule individually.

✦ SETTINGS & CUSTOMIZATION
