Mega Knight — Changelog

v1.0.0 — Initial Release (October 2026)

Minecraft Java 26.3 · Requires Entity Model Features (EMF) + Entity Texture Features (ETF)

The first public release of Mega Knight by ERRE Mods and Textures: a full Iron Golem overhaul inspired by the Mega Knight from Clash Royale.

✨ New

• Brand-new Iron Golem model: closed great helm with eye slit and barred visor, blue plume, V-shaped layered breastplate, big steel pauldrons, silver scale mail and a blue belt with a square buckle.
• Spiked iron balls in place of both hands.
• Three random variants (each golem rolls once and keeps its look):
  • Mega Knight — 80% — lead-grey steel
  • Evo — 15% — royal purple and gold
  • Hero — 5% — weathered brass
• Emissive details on the Evo (purple) and Hero (amber) variants: runes, gem, buckle, armor bands and spikes glow in the dark.
• Glowing eyes: every variant's eyes light up while the golem is targeting a mob, then go dark again.
• Mega Uppercut attack animation: the golem winds up low, swings from the ground up, finishes with the spiked fist high above its head and holds it for a moment. It punches one fist at a time, alternating hands on every hit, while the other fist stays up in guard, and blends smoothly back into its normal pose.
• Vanilla-style 16x pixel art (128×128 texture).
• New pack icon and in-game pack description.

🌹 Kept vanilla

• Poppy-offering animation and poppy texture (the right spiked ball steps aside so the flower is visible; the uppercut never triggers during it).
• Damage cracks as the golem gets hurt.
• Walking and idle animations.
• Golem stats and behaviour: the pack is purely visual and client-side.

⚙️ Configuration

• Variant chances can be changed in assets/minecraft/optifine/random/entity/iron_golem/iron_golem.properties → weights.1=80 15 5 (Mega Knight, Evo, Hero).

⚠️ Known notes

• OptiFine is not supported (the animations use EMF-exclusive functions).
• Other packs that change the Iron Golem model may conflict; place Mega Knight above them.
• Because the waist was slimmed down for the V-shaped chest, damage cracks look slightly different on the torso (arms, legs and head are unchanged).
