About The mod

From The Ground Up is a mod that aims to revamp vanilla mobs from the ground up — giving them new sounds, visuals, mechanics and iterating on their original identity. Every new feature can be toggled on or off through the mod’s config.

Grounded Resource Pack

The mod comes with a bundled resource pack that has additional tweaks that work in tandem with the mod's vision, but may feel out of place with other mods or with some config options disabled.

Feature list

Endermen renamed to Warped
Ender Pearl retextured and renamed to Warping Pearl
Displacer retextured accordingly
Retextured Creeper and Enderman to match the new designs (this change was made in case other mods utilize the base texture so they don't feel as out of place)
Savage and Ravage creepie sprout retexture to fit with the new creeper

Mob Changes

Enderman

Remodel, Retexture, new Animations for idling, screaming, teleporting and running
New Shattered variant that replaces spawns in the Overworld and 30% of spawns in a tag that by default only has the Warped Forest
Shattered Enderman by default release a cloud of Dragon Breath upon death that can be bottled
New sounds for everything
New background sounds that play while fighting an Enderman
New staring overlay when looking at an Enderman's face
Higher chance of teleporting while fighting with one (even higher if Shattered)
Removed ability to pick up and place blocks
New chance of spawning holding different blocks (from a tag) that varies between dimensions
New ambient particles and new teleporting effects
New redstone block, the Displacer, that teleports blocks and entities in a set direction based on redstone input
New Ender Pearl sounds

Creeper

Remodel, Retexture, new Animations for exploding, running, being noticed
New Lichen variant that spawns on stone
Creeper now sneak up on you slowly before being noticed (being within your field of view), and run at you if you sprint
Creeper explosions now don't break blocks, but cause blocks to fall in a radius. This only works with blocks in the creeper_can_collapse tag
New sounds for everything
New explosion particles for Creepers and Tnt
New mob interactions with pigs and improved interaction with cats
9 new music discs can be dropped when killed by a skeleton
Creeper explosions now ignite other Creepers
Creepers now explode when on fire
Powered Creepers are now immune to fire damage
When exploding a Powered Creeper will spawn a new miniboss, the Charged Creeper
Charged Creepers give a new effect called Doomed, that makes mobs drop their head on death
Charged Creepers drop a new crop/projectile, Beheading Spores, which only grow during thunder and can be thrown at mobs to give them the Doomed effect
