Flatter Entities

Flatter Entities changes how entities are drawn on the client: living entities appear as two-dimensional figures. The effect is a reproduction of the look of the 2019 April Fools joke from Mojang, which showed a 3D shareware game in a flat style. Each entity can be included or excluded from the flattening through a blacklist, and dimensions can be added to a separate blacklist as well, so the change applies only where the owner wants it.

The mod keeps the flattened look narrow when needed: a whitelist option lets an owner flatten only selected entities, and the blacklist can be inverted to flip which entities are affected. Because it works only on the client, it changes how a world looks for the player without altering game logic. Flatter Entities requires Fabric API and Forge Config API Port, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 19 release versions, 1.16.5 – 26.1.2, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
