Starting from version 1.0.71, the custom form system of this mod has been further improved. Now you can achieve complete customization of form models, form abilities, and action animations through datapacks + resource packs

If you have added custom forms in older versions before, you should be able to easily upgrade them to the new version by referring to the content of this chapter


What you can do with resource packs/datapacks:

  • Add brand new custom forms, specifying form types (phase-changing forms/special forms) and body types (humanoid/feral)

  • Implement transformation to custom forms under specific conditions through origins_power_extra

  • Apply different state animations to custom forms

  • Customize models for new forms or override models of existing forms, including soft bone effects

  • Customize various abilities (powers) for new forms or override abilities of existing forms

  • Customize descriptions of certain forms in the Shape Shifter's Book through localization files

Some limitations of the current custom form system:

  • Cannot yet add transformation effects from vanilla forms to custom forms

  • Cannot yet add form potions for custom forms

  • Cannot yet add special mobs that grant transformation effects for custom forms
