_A server-side data pack/mod for 1.14.x-26.3.x_

‌‌ Features

Hostile mobs dig out of the ground or poof into existence when they spawn.

Works with: Zombies, Husks, Drowned, Skeletons, Strays, Bogged, Wither Skeletons, Spiders, Cave Spiders, Creepers, Endermen, Slimes, Magma Cubes, Zombified Piglins, Striders and Giants.

This data pack/mod is designed to be as unintrusive as possible. Hidden entities including their worn armor and tools will only be invisible and silent.

Spawn Animations is completely server-side!

-> For available settings and customization, take a look at the ^{<img align="center" alt="wiki" src="https://img.shields.io/badge/Wiki-0070f3?style=flat&logo=gitbook&logoColor=white">} <-

More sophisticated animations are planned for v2.0!

For hiding entities with emissive layers in 1.20.4 or below, and generally smoother animations, you may additionally install Pehkui.

To manage settings, reset, or uninstall the pack, use the command /trigger tschipcraft.menu or /function #tschipcraft:menu.
