Tschipcraft's Spawn Animations

A server-side data pack/mod for 1.17.x-26.3.x

➜ The mod version of this data pack can be found here

Features

Hostile mobs dig out of the ground or poof into existence when they spawn.

Works with: Zombies, Husks, Drowned, Skeletons, Strays, Bogged, Wither Skeletons, Spiders, Cave Spiders, Creepers, Endermen, Slimes, Magma Cubes, Zombified Piglins, Striders and Giants.
