📋 About This Mod

# Tschipcraft's Spawn Animations

A server-side data pack/mod for 1. 14.x-26. 2.x

|I'm currently looking for animators to work on v2! (https://forms.gle/gEyfaQTdVijQ9zEF8)| |---|

🧟‍♂️ ‌‌ 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 wiki <-](https://github.com/Tschipcraft/spawnanimations/wiki)

More sophisticated animations are planned for v2. 0!
