Mob Forms - Morph into Modded & Vanilla Mobs

MOB FORMS

Become Any Mob

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

Mob Forms is not a skin swap. Every transformation gives you the mob's real body, size, health, damage, speed, abilities, sounds, animations and behavior — and the world reacts to you as if you were that 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.

✦ HIGHLIGHTS

• Almost every mob is playable: babies, colors, biome variants, professions and more.
• Mob Forms Survival: a full game mode where you live as one mob, or up to 9.
• Abilities, sounds & animations: use abilities with R and J, play the mob's sound with C and its special animation with V.
• Real behavior: movement, immunities, transformations, anger, fears, particles and hidden vanilla mechanics.
• Real survival: every form has its own diet, inventory size and way of living.
• Multiplayer: ride other players like real mobs, use saddles and harnesses, play in LAN or on servers.
• Modded mob support: creatures from other mods become playable — with their own animations.
• Highly configurable: dozens of rules, admin permissions and 61 languages.

✦ HOW TO GET STARTED

1. Find a Xenita Meteorite

Craters appear in any Overworld biome, with 2 to 5 Xenita blocks in the center. Follow the campfire smoke to find one.

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

⚠️ The crater fires never go out on their own: put them out by hitting them, with water, or by breaking the block underneath.

2. Craft the Shapeshifter Amulet

• Gold Ingots in the corners.
• Xenita Ingots on the sides.
• Redstone Dust in the center.

3. Collect Mob Forms

Kill a mob while the amulet is in your inventory to unlock its form forever. Every variant counts as its own form: babies, colors, biome variants and more.

4. Transform!

Right-click with the amulet to open the form selector. Sort by Normal, A–Z or Recent and filter by All, Hostile or Neutral.

The amulet has 13 uses: most forms cost 1, powerful forms 5 and bosses 8. Press H to return to human form for free.

✦ CONTROLS

Every key can be changed in Controls → Mob Forms.

• Right-click with the amulet: open the form selector.
• R / J: main and second ability.
• C: play your mob's sound (with cooldown).
• V: play your mob's special animation — Enderman anger, Warden roar, sheep eating grass, creeper swelling, golem offering a flower and more. It only appears when your mob has one.
• H: return to human form (not in Mob Forms Survival).
• G (tap / hold): form selector / Quick Transform wheel.
• F: bee actions.
• Left Alt: walk at the mob's real walking speed.
• Right-click a player: ride them, or equip a saddle or harness.
• Crouch: special actions (Armadillo rolls up, Fox pounces…).

✦ MOB ABILITIES

Every ability has its own icon and cooldown. Check Mobs Info in-game to see what each mob can do.

• Creeper: explode (dying in the explosion can be turned off).
• Enderman: teleport.
• Blaze / Ghast / Ender Dragon: fireballs.
• Wither: wither skulls.
• Warden: sonic boom.
• Guardian / Elder Guardian: laser beam.
• Evoker: line of fangs.
• Shulker: homing bullets.
• Breeze: wind charges.
• Witch / Llama / Snow Golem / Drowned: potions / spit / snowballs / tridents.
• Squid / Glow Squid: ink cloud.
• Pufferfish / Axolotl: inflate / play dead.
• Slime / Magma Cube: split into smaller pieces.
• Horse / Donkey / Mule: rear up and throw off riders (every rideable mob can throw off its rider).
• Infinite arrows: Skeletons, Strays, Bogged, Parched and Pillagers.
• Special attacks: Iron Golems launch enemies, Goats ram, Bees and Cave Spiders poison, Wither Skeletons apply Wither — and many more.

✦ LIVE LIKE THE REAL MOB

Body & Movement

• Real size, health, damage and attack speed.
• Real movement: flyers fly, swimmers swim, Spiders climb, Slimes hop, at the mob's real speed (customizable in Real Mob Movement).
• Small mobs fit through one-block gaps.
• Both hands in first person for Iron Golems, Wardens and spellcasting illagers.

Sounds & Animations

Authentic sounds, animations and particles — also in first person. Baby mobs have their high-pitched voices, and when you die you hear only your mob's death sound. The Ender Dragon dies like the real one: it rises, light beams shine and it bursts.

Personality & Behavior

• Endermen get angry when looked at or provoked.
• Zombified Piglins call their horde; wild Wolves bring their pack.
• Bees get angry when attacked, when they attack, or when a nearby hive breaks.
• Mobs flee from what they fear (Creepers from cats, Skeletons from wolves…).
• Mobs don't look you in the face when you're a mob — just like in vanilla.

Hidden Rules & Habits

• Piglins zombify outside the Nether; Zombies turn into Drowned.
• A Villager killed by a zombie becomes a Zombie Villager (Normal and Hard).
• Lightning transforms certain mobs; Healing hurts the undead.
• Zombies burn in daylight; Endermen hate water.
• Chickens lay eggs; Sheep regrow their wool.
• And much more!

Unique Mob Mechanics

• Bee: collect pollen, make honey and fly inside a real beehive while the world keeps running. Inside, your name, size and jumps are scaled to a real Bee.
• Creaking: your heart hides in a nearby log. If it's destroyed, you die.
• Warden: its antennas light up when it hears something.

✦ THE WORLD REACTS TO YOU

• Hostile mobs only attack you if they would attack your form.
• As a Zombie, Villagers flee from you. As a Villager, Zombies hunt you.
• Golems attack you when your form is hostile.

Turn on Hostile Mobs in Mod Rules to make monsters attack you no matter your form.

✦ REAL SURVIVAL

Diet

Every form eats its own food, and the hunger bar shows your mob's food (rotten flesh for zombies, wheat for llamas…). Animals can eat straight from the world: grass, crops and berries.

Real Diet has 3 levels:

• Yes: eating food your mob doesn't eat gives nausea, hunger and poison.
• Easy: you can eat it, with only nausea and hunger.
• No: your mob can eat anything.

Inventory, Hands & Difficulty

• Inventory depends on the body: from 36 slots for humanoids down to 1 slot for fish.
• Only mobs with hands can craft and use doors, chests and buttons.
• Difficulty presets: Easy, Medium and Hard — or customize every rule.

✦ SERVERS & MULTIPLAYER

Made to play with friends, in LAN worlds and on dedicated servers.

Ride Your Friends

• Skeletons ride Spider players; Baby Zombies ride Chicken players.
• Ride Horse, Donkey, Mule, Skeleton Horse, Zombie Horse, Camel, Pig, Strider and Llama players.
• Saddles work like vanilla: right-click to put one on, shears to remove it; only saddled mobs can be controlled. Pigs use a Carrot on a Stick, Striders a Warped Fungus on a Stick.
• Happy Ghast: with a harness, up to 4 players can ride; the first one controls it.
• Jockeys: unlock Spider Jockey and Chicken Jockey forms by killing a real jockey.

Admin Permissions

The host controls the rules (in LAN, whoever opened the world; on servers, the operators). Open Admin Permissions in Mod Rules to assign admins and choose exactly which rules they can change.

• Nobody can remove the host. Admins can appoint admins; only the host can remove them.
• /mobforms unlock <players> unlocks every form for those players (host and admins).
• Lock Options: permanently lock a world's rules, like Minecraft's difficulty lock.

Play Together

• Player names above each transformed player.
• Your mob's name in its color next to yours, in chat and on screen — e.g. LucasPY855 (Enderman) in magenta.
• Locator Bar (1.21.11, 26.2, 26.3): choose whether transformed players appear on it.
• Beehive players are hidden from outside and become truly bee-sized.
• Players who join see everyone who is already transformed.

✦ MOB FORMS SURVIVAL

A full game mode where you live Minecraft as a mob. Choose Mob Forms Survival below the game mode when creating a world.

• Choose one mob or up to 9 and switch with the Quick Transform bar (with search, filters, health and variant selection).
• No way back: no amulet, no selector, no H key and no transform commands.
• Survival and Hardcore supported, with locked rules.
• Monster forms start at night; only aquatic mobs spawn in water.
• Every mob has its own achievement tab, with hints and progress.

✦ SETTINGS & CUSTOMIZATION

All gameplay options are in one Mod Rules tab, including:

• Transform and unlock without the amulet; amulet costs.
• Hostile mobs; real diet (Yes / Easy / No); hard healing; armor restrictions.
• Mobs drop their items on death.
• Back to human on death and Lose mobs on death (No / All / Only the one that died / Random 1–10 — the chat tells you which ones you lost).
• Aquatic mobs on land; creeper self-destruction; bee death after stinging.
• Piglin zombification; Warden blindness (off by default) and roars; the original Giant Zombie.

Interface: Mob Forms, Mob Forms Complete (restyles vanilla buttons, sliders and backgrounds) or Vanilla Style.

First person: choose which hands and paws are visible.

Enderman in Creative: water and rain don't teleport you by default (can be changed).

✦ MORE FEATURES

• Health display: mob-colored bars, mob icons, unique hearts or normal hearts.
• Favorites & Quick Transform: up to 9 forms on a radial wheel.
• Mobs Info: stats, food, abilities and details of every mob.
• Achievements: hidden achievements with progress (e.g. 3/10), including the master achievement Mob Forms King.
• Xenita gear: tools stronger than iron and a sword that can transform mobs.

✦ MODDED MOB SUPPORT

Creatures from other mods work like vanilla forms — also in Mob Forms Survival. Supports GeckoLib, AzureLib and MCreator mobs, and mods like Alex's Mobs, Mutant Monsters, Ice and Fire, Mowzie's Mobs and many more.

• Their own health, damage, diet, inventory size, strength and abilities.
• Flying detection and their attack, walk, run, flying and V animations.
• Hands and paws in first person for GeckoLib and AzureLib mobs.
• Water-only mobs drown on land; semi-aquatic mobs don't.
• Mob-specific icons.

If a modded creature can't be used, Mob Forms safely skips it instead of crashing. Problems? Send the [Mob Forms compat] lines from your latest.log.
