GlymeraStatues - Golden, Bronze & Marble Mob Statues

Which edition do I need?

GlymeraStatues comes in two editions:

• This full edition (Gold + Bronze + Marble, 465 statues): recommended for machines with a dedicated graphics card
• GlymeraStatues Marble Edition (Marble only, 155 statues): the lightweight choice for weak or integrated graphics (iGPU laptops, low VRAM) and for large modpacks - about a third of the texture load

Background: this mod carries a lot of texture data into the game's shared block-texture memory. On weak GPUs, combined with many other mods, that can overflow and turn all block textures black. If that happens to you, switch to the Marble edition - your marble statues survive the switch.

Never install both editions at the same time - they define the same blocks. Pick one.

Turn every creature in the game into a decorative statue. 465 statues - every mob in Gold, Bronze and Marble - as real placeable blocks, each on a stone plinth sized to fit. Display your favourite beasts as gleaming monuments.

What is GlymeraStatues?

GlymeraStatues takes the actual in-game model of every creature and casts it as a solid statue block - in Gold, Bronze or Marble - standing on a stone pedestal. These are pure decorative blocks: no AI, no mob behaviour, no entity. Just beautiful statues you can place, mine and re-place anywhere.

That's 155 creatures x 3 materials = 465 statues, covering everything: beasts, birds, fish, livestock, the undead, golems, elementals, void creatures and more.

Pure server-side plugin - no client mod required.

Highlights

• Real creature shapes - each statue is the creature's own model, not a reskinned cube
• Three materials - Gold, Bronze and Marble, with a natural cast-metal/stone surface relief
• Size-adaptive plinth - every statue stands on a stone pedestal sized to its feet; the creature and the plinth never overlap
• True relative sizes - a mouse statue is tiny, a whale or rex is a towering monument
• Direction-aware placement - statues rotate to face the way you're looking when you place them
• Pickaxe-mineable - mine a statue to get it back as an item and re-place it elsewhere
• Owner protection - only the player who placed a statue (and operators) can break it

How To Get Statues

Creative menu: every statue is in the creative inventory under Blocks - search "Statue", "Golden", "Bronze" or "Marble".

Survival - the Mystery Statue: craft a Mystery Statue at the Workbench and it turns into a random statue - a random creature in a random material. A fun way to collect them.

Crafting Recipe

The material is chosen by weighted chance - by default Marble 60% / Bronze 25% / Gold 15% - and the creature is picked at random from all 155. Both the recipe and the chances are configurable.

Configuration

Generated at first startup: mods/de.glymera_GlymeraStatues/config.json

The three weights do not have to add up to 100 - they are normalised automatically.
