Budschie's Morph Mod
by Budschie
With Budschie's Morph Mod, players can turn into other mobs, gain their abilities, and collect souls from the creatures they transform into.
What it does
Budschie's Morph Mod lets a player morph into other mobs and borrow their abilities. A bat's flight, an Enderman's teleport and a Guardian's laser attacks are among the examples. Souls are collected from mobs the player has turned, and those souls are then used to access the abilities of the mobs that were turned.
The mod is built on heavily data-driven systems, so new morphs can be added for modded mobs through data rather than code. Server operators can morph any player with a command, including the player's current morph, and a blacklist command stops certain morphs from dropping naturally in the world.
The project was started by Budschie after the author could not find a Forge morph mod for the newest version. It was inspired by Metamorph and aims to make morph mods available on the latest Forge release. The mod is built for Forge only and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with a source code repository, issue tracker and wiki linked from the project.
Key features
Mob abilities
Morphed players gain abilities of the mob they took the shape of, such as flight or teleportation.
Soul collection
Souls are gathered from mobs the player has turned and are used to access the abilities of those mobs.
Data-driven morphs
New morphs for modded mobs are defined through data files, so the set of morphs can be extended without changing the mod's code.
Morph commands
Commands morph and demorph a player, control the current morph, and morph any player on a server.
Morph blacklist
A blacklist command prevents selected morphs from dropping naturally in the world.

What the author says
This is a mod whose aim it is to make morph mods available for forge and for the newest version. I originally started this mod project because I wanted to add a morph mod to my modpack for Forge, but sadly I could not find any morph mod for forge that is available for the newest version. So I built my own morph mod.
