Experience what it's really like to be a feral creature. No hands, no inventory - just you, your instincts, and the wilderness. This addon takes the Shape Shifter Curse transformation to the next level, adding authentic animal survival mechanics, focused more in playing like a real feral animal.

Overview

True Feral Addon is a overhaul of the feral transformation experience in Shape Shifter Curse. When you transform into your final feral form, you lose access to human conveniences and must adapt to a completely new way of surviving in Minecraft.

Key Philosophy:

Realistic Animal Behavior - No using chests, crafting tables, or tools

Mouth-Only Inventory - Carry items in your mouth like a real animal

Survival Challenges - Weight system, limited carrying capacity, and environmental restrictions

Curl Up - Curl up in the ground and sleep like an true animal

Fully Configurable - Customize every aspect to fit your playstyle

Multiplayer Ready - All features should work in multiplayer servers

Originally, True Feral was a personal project I created just for myself. I wanted a way to make my solo survival runs more immersives while playing with the Shape Shifter Curse. However, after seeing how much it changed the gameplay, I decided it was too much fun to keep to myself!
