Morph — Guide

How Morphing Works

There are three core ideas to remember:

Acquire - when you kill a living mob, its form is added to your personal morph collection.
Select - open the morph menu, browse every form you have unlocked, and choose one.
Transform - confirm a shape and your character instantly becomes that creature, model and all. You can return to your normal player form at any time.

Because acquiring a form requires defeating the mob, building a large collection is itself a gameplay goal - every new creature you beat is a new disguise to add to the list.

Getting Started

Find and defeat a mob you would like to become - a pig, a chicken, a spider, anything living.
Open the morph menu with the keybind (default B) to see the form you just unlocked.
Select the form to transform into it instantly.
Press the keybind again to browse and swap to other shapes, or return to your own player form.

That is the whole flow - defeat, select, transform.

Morph relies on the Wood Walkers shapeshifting engine and the Crafted Core shared library to load (SkinShifter is optional).

The morph menu is your collection screen and your transformation tool in one.

Open it with the keybind (default B).
Scroll through every form you have unlocked, shown as a live preview of each creature.
Pick a shape to morph into it immediately.
Return to player by selecting your own form.

The menu is the heart of the mod: it is where you review the disguises you have collected and switch between them on the fly. Keep collecting new mobs and the menu fills out with more options over time.

Abilities & Traits

Morphing is more than a visual change - you gain the natural characteristics of the creature you become.

Flight - take the shape of a flying mob and you can fly.
Water breathing - aquatic forms let you breathe and move freely underwater.
Size - small creatures let you fit through gaps a player cannot; large creatures fill more space.
Behavioural camouflage - while wearing a mob's shape, others of that kind may treat you as one of their own.

This is what makes Morph a real gameplay tool rather than a cosmetic: the right disguise can solve a traversal problem, help you survive, or let you blend into a crowd of mobs.

Collecting Morphs

Your morph collection grows by defeating creatures.

Each defeated mob adds its form to your roster.
Variants count - many creatures have distinct looks worth collecting for variety.
Your collection is saved, so the shapes you unlock stay with you between sessions.

Treat collecting as a long-term project: the broader your roster, the more options you have for traversal, disguise, and role-play. Hunting down a rare or hard-to-reach mob just to add it to your menu is a goal in itself.

Survival & Combat

Disguises change how the world reacts to you.

Blend in by wearing the shape of nearby mobs so hostiles are less likely to single you out.
Escape by morphing into a fast, flying, or aquatic creature to leave danger behind.
Reposition with a small shape to slip through tight spaces during a fight.

Use your collection tactically: the best shape for a situation is often not the strongest-looking mob but the one whose traits fit the problem in front of you.

Multiplayer & Minigames

Morph shines on servers and in custom games.

Hide-and-seek - hiders morph into blocks-of-mobs and freeze in plain sight while seekers hunt them down.
Role-play - become the creature your character is meant to be.
Prop-style rounds - any game built around disguises benefits from a deep morph roster.

Install Morph and its dependencies on both the server and every client so all players see each other's transformations correctly.

Tips

Collect early and often. Defeating common mobs near spawn quickly builds a useful starter roster.
Match the shape to the task. Need to cross water? Morph aquatic. Need height? Morph a flier.
Use small mobs for tight spots and large mobs when you want presence.
Keep your own form one click away - return to player whenever you need full control.
Experiment - part of the fun is discovering how each creature's traits feel to play.
