🐴 Mo' Creatures Reborn — v2.0.1

NeoForge 1.21.1

A major update dedicated to restoring authentic classic Mo' Creatures mechanics, fixing auto-mounting issues, and providing significant quality-of-life improvements across survival and creative play.

🌟 Restored Classic Mechanics & New Features

🏷️ Classic Pet Naming GUI on Feeding & Taming

• Automatic Naming Dialog: Feeding any untamed horse with valid Mo' Creatures food now automatically tames it and pops up the classic "Choose your pet's name" GUI immediately upon eating.
• Support for All Classic Horse Foods: Full support for all traditional Mo' Creatures horse foods:
  • Red Apples, Golden Apples, Enchanted Golden Apples
  • Carrots & Golden Carrots
  • Sugar, Wheat, and Bread
  • Hay Bales / Hay Blocks
  • Pumpkins & Mushroom Stew (classic breeding food)
• Prompt for Unnamed Tamed Horses: Feeding an already-tamed horse that doesn't yet have a custom name now opens the naming screen as well.
• Rename with Medallion or Book: Right-clicking a tamed horse with a Medallion or a Book allows you to rename it anytime.
• Zebra Taming Conditions: Authentic Zebra taming mechanics are respected—Zebras will only accept food and allow taming if the player is currently riding a Tier 4 or Special horse (Pegasus, Fairy Horse, etc.).

⚡ Authentic Horse Transformation Animation (Classic Parpadeo / Flickering Effect)

• Original DrZhark Formula: Accurately recreated the classic 100-tick (5-second) transformation sequence:
  • The horse flickers between its base form and its target magical form with accelerating frequency intervals (every 5 ticks, 3 ticks, and 4 ticks).
  • Plays the classic transformation sound effect (werewolf_transform) at tick 40.
  • Generates elemental swirling spiral particles matching the essence used throughout the process.
  • Concludes at tick 100 with an elemental burst of particles and the conversion sound effect (zombie_villager.converted), permanently locking in the target variant.
  • The horse is locked in place, fully preventing unintended mounting or interactions during the transition.

🛠️ Fixes & Quality of Life (QoL) Improvements

🪑 Accidental Mounting Prevention

• Equipping Saddles, Chests & Armor: Fixed a bug where right-clicking to equip a saddle, chest, or horse armor forced the player to mount the mob instead of simply equipping the item.
• Safe Feeding & Interaction: Feeding horses, applying essences, or using medallions/naming tags will no longer cause accidental mounting.
• Applies to all mountable creatures: Regular horses, Pegasi, Unicorns, Nightmares, Ostriches, Elephants, Big Cats, Manticores, Komodo Dragons, and more.

✂️ Universal Shears De-equipping System

• You can now safely remove saddles, chests, and armor from horses and other mountable mobs using Shears (works with both normal right-click and Shift + right-click).
• Unequips items in proper descending order (Crystal Armor → Diamond → Gold → Iron → Chest → Saddle), dropping the corresponding item into the world.

🧪 Shapeless Essence Recipes, Transmutations & Alternatives

• 100% Shapeless Recipes: Traditional essence recipes crafted with rare creature hearts are now shapeless and can be crafted in any slot on 2x2 or 3x3 crafting grids.
• Inter-Essence Transmutations: If you already possess an essence, you can convert it into other types:
  • Darkness \(\leftrightarrow\) Fire
  • Darkness \(\leftrightarrow\) Undead
  • Fire \(\leftrightarrow\) Undead
• Survival Alternative Recipes (Heart-free):
  • Essence of Darkness: Glass Bottle + Ender Pearl + Crying Obsidian + Coal.
  • Essence of Fire: Glass Bottle + Blaze Powder + Magma Cream + Fire Charge.
  • Essence of Undead: Glass Bottle + Rotten Flesh + Fermented Spider Eye + Bone / Bone Meal.

🥚 Creative Spawn Eggs

• Added dedicated creative spawn eggs with preset variant NBT for all previously missing horse breeds and special variants (Zebra, Zorse, Pegasus, Dark Pegasus, Unicorn, Undead Pegasus/Unicorn, Skeleton variants, Ghost Horses, and Fairy Horses).
