Form Types

The forms you can transform into in the mod are categorized as Progressive Forms, Special Forms, and Permanent Forms.

Progressive Forms

Progressive Forms feature multiple gradually changing stages. For these forms, as your Instinct Value accumulates, your form will advance to the next stage.

Compared to earlier stages, later stages have more pronounced advantages and disadvantages, creating more significant changes to the gameplay experience.

Your form will be affected by the Cursed Moon Event when in a Progressive Form.

Most forms in the mod belong to this category.

Instinct System

The Instinct System progress bar appears in the center of the screen, just below the experience bar. It indicates your current Instinct Value.

Instinct Value increases slowly over time. Additionally, each form has corresponding Instinct Behaviors; performing these behaviors also causes Instinct Value to increase rapidly.

When Instinct Value reaches maximum, your form will advance to the next stage.

Permanent Forms

Permanent Forms are the final stages of certain Progressive Forms.

For a Progressive Form that has a corresponding Permanent Form, use an Echo Catalyst at stage 3 to transform into the corresponding permanent form.

Important Warning: Once transformed into a Permanent Form, there are no in-game mechanics to revert this change. Proceed with caution!

Note

Q: I regret my decision! Are there really no other solutions?

A: Yes, there are options! With administrator permissions, you can use the /shape-shifter-curse transform_to_form command to set your form. Alternatively, you can delete the save file named after your UUID under <world_name>\data\shape-shifter-curse to restore your form to the state before enabling mod content.
