I happen to come across the Shape Shifter Z mod on PMC, and was disappointed to see that the "shape shifting" was instantaneous, immediately transforming you to your entity of choice.
I decided to try out how possible it was to really have a proper "shape shifting" skill in Minecraft. This is the results. It is only a proof of concept.
Time taken: 6~ hours of coding + debug + testing.
Comments welcome.
