Lanostry's monsters for Minecraft

Review Lanostry's monsters

Lanostry's monsters is every arachnophobe’s nightmare. The author adds quite a lot of variations of our old familiar spiders to the game. Almost every biome receives its own spider. Moreover, the changes affect both regular and poisonous variants. They have become larger, more terrifying, and fit better into their natural habitats. This is a modern and universal resource pack for everyday play in standard Minecraft. And for it to work properly, you will only need OptiFine. Now let’s take a more detailed look at the test subjects.

New appearance

What can be said about the new spiders? Their main feature is their adaptability. While some of the designs are reskins of the same model, there are also unique representatives. One of these is the desert arthropod, whose body is stretched out much more than the others. If we look at the regular variant, then compared to the original we will see a significant difference in size. The new spiders are much larger than their vanilla counterparts, and when they take damage, their model does not briefly flash red. Add to this the old spider hitboxes, which the new model does not display correctly due to the size difference, and hitting your target—or understanding whether you hit them or not—won’t be as simple.

Among the obvious differences, you can also note the large abdomen. And while the eyes and legs have simply become bigger, the abdomen has changed its proportions relative to the rest of the body and is now the spider’s main feature. We do not recommend hitting it though, since you risk missing. The last notable addition is the mandibles, which now have a much more accurate shape. Previously they were just two small protrusions, but now they are full-fledged muscles and the main danger to the player. As for animations, the spiders did not receive anything particularly new — everything relies on their appearance.

Is it worth giving it a chance?

This is an excellent addition for standard Minecraft. Lanostry's monsters is made in the basic 16x resolution and modifies only two variants of one mob. The changes will not have a major impact on gameplay, but encounters with spiders will now be much more vivid. They have become noticeably more unique and interesting from a design standpoint. If you dislike or have grown tired of the default models, then this resource pack will be a real lifesaver.
