Video is nice! How can you make mobs as nodes if nodes can not be animated?

I just defined multiple heads, which differ in length, and swap them using a nodetimer.

Eww! I would put them on my server, except that I don't want to scare newbies out of their skins.

Unfortunately node timers are limited. You can set the number of steps to 1 increasing the speed to a maximum of 1 m/sec but the movement will be less smooth.

The concept of moving nodes for mobs is something I find interesting and Highly underused, Cool Mod.

This can be done by changing one digit. I decided to do it like this, because nodeboxes under water do not look good.

A very funny mod as seen in the video. I just feel pity for the poor cows that where eaten! The worms could constitute a danger for players in some survival orientated games, i.e. lie waiting for players close to something intresting like a mese block and then approach from behind. The green one eating leaves was also funny.
A list of my mods can be found here.
