Shape Shifter Curse 1.10.0\[beta\]
Version 1.10.0 is a major release that introduces a new form progression system, a new crafting system, and many other new features—as well as two brand-new subforms: Avali and Marbled Polecat. It is still a beta version and may differ from the official release
⚠️ Before Updating
- Back up your save files first! Upgrading from 1.9.2 to 1.10.0 is one-way, so protect your precious save files.
- Form rendering has been migrated to Geckolib; AzureLib is no longer needed
- Six new "Active Skill 1–6" keybinds are unbound by default — set them in Controls (the old Origins active keys were removed)
🆕 Form Perk Trees Every final form and sub-form now has its own perk tree: open the tuning screen via the new Form Tuner Beacon, unlock nodes with XP or Glint Prisms; active abilities fire from the number keys, passives are always on.
🏗️ The Altar A new crafting hub powered by moondust: all form trinket recipes moved here from the crafting table, and trinkets can be upgraded further into "+" versions using Catalyst Cores.
🦊 New Sub-Forms
- Avali (Bat form permanent phase): Our alien raptors from another dimension. A star species!
- Marbled Polecat (Snow Fox form permanent phase): A slender weasel predator, with a remarkably flexible neck!
Switch with the new Ripple Mirror item, and return to the main form any time.
🔧 Systems Reworked
- Form system core rewritten: more stable, with form history and fallback protection
- Cursed Moon reworked: reverts forms by record; servers can disable forced transformation
- Instinct is tracked per player — multiplayer desync fixed
- Milk no longer removes the curse effect (Golden Apples / inhibitors do)
🎨 Visual Upgrades
- Many forms now blink and glow in the dark; new sleep, climb and shield animations
- Fixed long-standing multiplayer issues: drifting tails/capes and other players' forms rendering incorrectly
