Become your favourite mob — and live as one.
Woodwalkers lets you choose a second shape and transform into it at will. Walk over lava as a Strider, explore caves as a Bat, or terrorize your friends as a Ghast. Nearly every mob comes with unique traits and abilities that make each form feel genuinely different.
Woodwalkers is also the foundation for addon mods like ReMorphed, which extends it with kill-to-unlock progression and a full morph menu.
Passive Traits — each mob form changes your stats: health, size, movement, and more match the mob you've become. Your nametag disappears too, so no one can tell you apart from the real thing.
Active Abilities — forms come with active abilities, not just passive effects. What you can do depends on the mob.
Deep Configuration — blacklists for mobs, abilities, and traits. API-level events and hooks let modpack makers and developers control exactly what Woodwalkers does in their environment.
Broad Compatibility — supports Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt across a wide range of Minecraft versions.
Find the mob you want to become in the world. Look directly at it and hold the Scan Key (default: U) for 5 seconds. You'll see "You feel it tingle" — that's your second shape locked in.
Press the Transform Key (default: G) at any time to switch between your player form and your mob form.
⚠️ Your second shape is permanent by default. Choose carefully. An OP command and a config option exist to reset it on death if you prefer.
Woodwalkers exposes a full API with:
- Passive trait registration
- Active ability registration
- Blacklists for mobs, traits, and abilities
- API-level events to enable/disable parts of the mod per your needs
See the Wiki for full documentation.
Install ReMorphed — it replaces the scan mechanic with a kill-to-unlock system, adds a full morph menu, and lets you collect unlimited shapes.
