Morphling
by Naw7
With Morphling, a player presses G to open a menu and click a mob to turn into it, taking on that creature's size, hitbox and attack damage.
What it does
Morphling lets players transform into creatures from Minecraft. Each form takes over the size, sounds, hitbox, attack damage and standard ability of the mob it imitates, and the selected form is stored for each world and reapplied when the player connects again. Each mob keeps its own controls, such as holding R for a creeper's hiss and explosion, pressing R to lay an egg as a chicken, or teleporting with R as an enderman.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric API is required. Morphling is published for Fabric only, with files for 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Public source code and an issue tracker are linked from its page, and the latest file, 2.3+26.1 for 26.1.2, dates from 2026-06-13.
Key features

Pressing G opens a menu, and clicking a mob turns the player into that creature.
Abilities from vanilla mobs
Each form uses the sounds, abilities and animations of its vanilla mob, such as a chicken's slow fall and flap.
Creature-specific controls
Sheep can eat grass, skeletons equip a bow with infinite arrows, and parrots can enter a free-flight mode.
Water and enderman abilities
Water teleports an enderman form to dry land, and Shift with R lets it carry blocks, while F activates Angry Mode.
