Endermorphosis (Endermites to Shulkers!)
Endermorphosis gives endermites a way to burrow into purpur blocks and, through a multi-step ritual, morph them into shulkers.
What it does
A player obtains the endermite-feeding item by crafting it from a nether wart, a thick potion in normal, splash or lingering form, a magma cream and a chorus flower. The item is then smashed into pearls and pasted, and an endermite that eats the prepared snack drops a special item instead of the usual drops, so the mod adds a custom step rather than waiting for the vanilla process to finish.
Once an endermite has been lured, the mod lets it burrow into purpur blocks, purpur pillars and purpur double slabs, and transforms the creature into a shulker. The author describes the shulker route as implemented differently from other mods that follow a similar concept. The mod runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and is also offered as a data pack. The code is under the MIT License without being open source.
