TEXT VERSION OF THE DESCRIPTION IN SPOILER FOR WHEN THE IMAGES DON'T LOAD

TEXT VERSION OF DESCRIPTION

DISMEMBERMENT
If you deal enough damage to a mob before it dies, there's a chance that its limbs might fall off.

  • * *

REANIMATED
Mobs have been fully reanimated - Animations for idling, walking, attacks and death are more realistic than before. Baby zombies are turned into crawling zombies.

  • * *

MIMIC CREEPERS
Some creepers camouflage themselves by taking the shape of other mobs. Disguised creepers show subtle signs that can give away their disguise.

  • * *

FLYING WITCHES

Witches jump on their broom when they have low HP. They then fly away when killed.

  • * *

DANGLING SPIDERS

Spiders climb walls by dangling from the ceiling. Spiders can lose their legs and dynamically adjust their way of walking

  • * *

RANDOMIZED DEATHS
Mob death animations are randomized to make every kill unique.
