Tschipcraft's Spawn Animations

A data pack/mod for Minecraft 1.14x-1.21x

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.

This project is completely server-side, but can also be installed on the client for single-player worlds!

➜ For available settings and customization, take a look at the wiki

More sophisticated animations with Animated Java are planned for v2.0.
