About Changeling Origin
From ModrinthNew origin that can shapeshift into other entities
This mod adds Changeling Origin - an odd creature that can change its form into creatures it kills.
"_Changelings are shapeshifters that can take on the form of other creatures. As their descendant, you have inherited this ability, but activating it requires a blood sacrifice._"
Abilities
- Shapeshift (toggle) - Allows you to shapeshift into the next creature you kill. If you are already shapeshifted, you will revert to your original form.
- Use Shape Ability (active) - Activates special ability of your current shape. You can check the list of shape abilities on the woodwalkers wiki.
- Lose Shape on Death - You will revert to your original form if you die.
Configuration
If you want to prevent players from shaping into some creatures, you can add them into tags/entity_types/denylist. Creatures that are not allowed by default: Wither, Ender Dragon, and Vex.
Requirements
Warning
If you are already using woodwalkers, adding this mod is not recommended as it will make the shape-shifting mechanic available only to Changelings.
