Shape Shifter Curse 1.10.0\[beta\]

Update 1.10.0 banner, showcases the model scenes of the two sub-forms: Marbled Polecat and Avali

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

Under the Cursed Moon

An unknown magical force has altered your body… When the Cursed Moon rises, certain changes begin to manifest within you.

Shape Shifter Curse is a mod that focuses on gradually transforming into different forms based on vanilla creatures under the influence of the "Cursed Moon" and "Instincts" mechanics, gaining their unique abilities and drawbacks - each form with independent models and (potential) special animations!

Balance IS fun - each form's abilities and disadvantages have undergone multiple iterations and extensive testing to add interesting features while respecting the original game experience.

Carefully Designed Models and Animations
