This mod currently adds 8 Spiders, 7 Skeletons, 6 Zombies, 5 endermen and 1 mite.

This mod has stopped all development for any old versions and is getting a rewrite for 1.16 but no ETA.

A full explanation of what each mob does is in the video below (German only right now) thanks to ACGaming for the video or in the wall of text below and is being updated constantly.

A show case in German:

This mod requires craft studio api to function. You can download it here.

Not including craft studio api will not let the game load.

Highly recommend to have JEI as it shows a full description of each mob but it is NOT necessary.

Optional library: Baubles

Any and all complaints about issues and bugs will not be answered unless it is to report the bug or suggest something helpful.

DELETE THE CONFIG FILE IF YOU ARE UPDATING PAST THE BETA VERSIONS.

This mod modifies the models and adds improved animations and unique mechanics to the way the mobs work ~~But does not modify vanilla mobs in any shape or form.~~ (it stops vanilla endermen from spawning in the nether and replaces them with Magma Endermen (Configurable) in the 0.0.7 beta) plus it modifies Pigmen to stop dropping rotten flesh and instead drop pigman flesh.

Mobultion: Mob + evolution meaning that each vanilla mob is seeing some kind of transformation or getting a new ability to create what seem so similar to vanilla mobs but gives a full new experience to try and learn how and where these mob spawn, getting better tools and rare items to make the player feel rewarded but keeping it simple so that it can compatible with other mods and modpacks without issues.

Many of the things that are planned are being implemented on the go while trying to keep a steady schedule of weekly updates to fix bugs and potentially test new mobs and tools. It even seeks to add bosses based of each mob by collecting parts from the respective mob type to try and spawn the boss (similar mechanic to the wither spawning method), but that is still a bit far a head.

This mod adds special attack and throwing animation, Skeleton Remains allowing them to respawn and so much more to come for other mobs. All of that while keeping the mod smooth and light weight to better integrate with the vanilla theme and by adding an easy to use config GUI so that you do not need to modify the text file instead.

All of the mobs pictures currently added are in the images tab or in the text below.

The config file will be expanded as people wish and I will add many more features including the ability to switch to vanilla animations (to a certain extent). All suggestions are welcome in the issues page of github linked above.

A challenge and then an idea and ended up being the tiniest horror a player will see, based on ideas and inspirations of JamesWhiteShirt and DarkCow this mob will spawn as 1/1000 from breaking a log (any, modded or vanilla) and only if broken by the player (so do not worry about your tree farms) and will attack quickly and once 1.5 hearts or less will try to ride on the player's face and attack him.
