Changeling Origin
Java data pack listed for Minecraft 1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on ModrinthThis mod adds Changeling Origin - an odd creature that can change its form into creatures it kills.
"Changelings are shapeshifters that can take on the form of other creatures. As their descendant, you have inherited this ability, but activating it requires a blood sacrifice."
Abilities
- Shapeshift (toggle) - Allows you to shapeshift into the next creature you kill. If you are already shapeshifted, you will revert to your original form.
- Use Shape Ability (active) - Activates special ability of your current shape. You can check the list of shape abilities on the woodwalkers wiki.
- Lose Shape on Death - You will revert to your original form if you die.
Configuration
If you want to prevent players from shaping into some creatures, you can add them into tags/entity_types/denylist.
Creatures that are not allowed by default: Wither, Ender Dragon, and Vex.
Requirements
Warning
If you are already using woodwalkers, adding this mod is not recommended as it will make the shape-shifting mechanic available only to Changelings.
