What it does

Players obtain the Galvan Upgrade Template first, and then apply it at a smithing table to a Galvanic Mechamorph form. The upgrade extends the Alien Evolution content, giving the form more options with abilities that work both in practical situations and in tactical fights.

Abilities are grouped by slot. Ability 1 includes Fire Breath and Piston Leap, Ability 2 includes Piston Pushback, Anvil Smash and Shoot Saws, and Ability 3 includes Smoke Bomb, Burrow and Leap. Some abilities change with crouching or with the defense mode, and Smelt Fuel works from the mainhand item.

The mod runs on Fabric and on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved. Latest files, 1.1.2 for 1.20.1, were published on 2025-12-17, after the first release on 2025-11-03.
