CustomAnimals 3D ✦ Create & Animate Mobs | No Client Mods! | FREE

AdvancedCreatures Free provides server owners and creators with a complete, production-ready system to spawn, animate, and control authentic 3D living creatures and animals directly in Minecraft. Powered by native BlockDisplay and Interaction entities, your players see breathtaking custom entities with zero client-side mods, zero texture packs, and zero setup friction.

Unlike other plugins that give you a crippled demo, AdvancedCreatures Free gives you the real engine: full keyframe multi-track animation playback, authentic physics & knockback, full modular AI goal systems (identical to Premium), full persistence across restarts, and complete access to the always-free web-based MobForge 3D Studio!

• Vanilla Mob Replacement: Automatically replace vanilla farm animals or monsters with your own models as players explore new terrain.
• Unlimited Scale: No caps on active creatures, unique types, or special named pets.
• One-Time Purchase: No subscriptions, no license servers, no online phone-home DRM. Just drop the Premium JAR into your server!

• Server Software: Paper, Purpur, or Spigot for Minecraft 1.20.4+ (Paper/Purpur highly recommended).
• Clients: Any vanilla client 1.20.4 or newer.
• Web Studio: Any modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Safari). https://mobforge.mipcraft.eu/
