The original Ben 10 TV shows were a big part of my childhood, and many others. But, there's a disturbing lack of Ben 10 mods for Minecraft!
Let it be known that at this point the only progress that has been made in this mod is modelling and texturing. Some aliens have high quality textures to fit in details that would be awkward and clunky otherwise, like Toepick for example:
Or Greymatter:
And some fit in better with the normal 16x16 style:
I aim to have the mod contain a craftable and working Omnitrix as well as various props from the series.
As you can see, I am very passionate about this mod, but I can't do it alone. I need help, and a lot of it, to make my dream a reality. I have exactly zero experience with coding. This mod WILL be a tremendous undertaking, and I will unfortunately be unable to compensate you. If you're willing to work pro bono on a project this large, please PM me. We will discuss it further in PMs.
Disclaimers: I will have the final say on who does and does not work on the mod, and sending me a PM does not guarantee you a spot on the team. Multiple coders may be enlisted at my discretion.

Hmm... how many aliens are you adding? Ben collected a lot more than 10 aliens over the course of the series. My personal favourite is ghostfreak Just to clarify: This is ignoring the Ultimate series, and his teenage adventures (with Swampfire, Goop, Spider-monkey), right? And my other favourite aliens would be Wybig, XLR8, Diamondhead, and of course the best one, Upgrade.
E: Some aliens will be nonfunctional but you'll still be able to transform into them. Aliens that reappear with a different design *may* have multiple models/skins, but they will be mostly based on their appearances in the first series they were introduced in. For example, Upchuck's default skin will be the light green one with clothes from the original series
It could have multiple Omnitrixes, with the design of the aliens matching the Omnitrix (This, of course, would limit the Omnitrixes to the aliens specifically with that 'trix unless you want to model Deviantart designs/ ultimates/ fusions/ "original" aliens.) And mobs based of off... say... Z'skayr(Sentient Ghostfreak) also, look on the wiki for some that are in the watches, but not in any of the shows. Items like that Hazmat suit from the episodes with the mummy whose name I forgot. Pretty neat this idea though, thought about making one myself but I can't even remember how to code a sword.
EDIT: Are you going to include Deefus' aliens and aliens that just show up such as Sludgepuppies (<-- Is that a bad word?)

Quote from Ghostly_Golem>> It could have multiple Omnitrixes, with the design of the aliens matching the Omnitrix
I thought about doing that, but I thought it may be too confusing, or maybe even frustrating to people who like the look of a certain Omnitrix but the look of certain aliens in another trix. So I thought I would implement the different Omnitrixes all functioning the same (with an upgrade required to use Ultimate forms) but being able to select a different skin.
Quote from Ghostly_Golem>> mobs based of off... say... Z'skayr
Yes, mobs such as these will eventually be implemented.
Just wondering, will there be Waybig? He was always my favorite, due to being the warship of the Omnitrix.
And considering that Ultimate forms would be in as an upgrade to the Omnitrix, it would make it all the sweeter. =)
Waybig will be in the mod, I'm not sure if he'll be able to really... do anything though. In fact, there are some aliens you'll be able to transform into but they won't really have any abilities
Well will Humongosaur have incredible strength? And will Swampfire have fire control as well as regeneration?
Swampfire can right-click with an empty hand to act like flint and steel, and will regenerate slightly faster than normal. And Humungousuar will have increased punch damage. Speaking of Humungousaur, actually...
I've begun the modelling and texturing process! The texture needs a bit of work and the model is a little bland, but it looks very fine right now. I personally think the tail is the best part because it's got actual detail on it.

I was thinking that for the Omnitrix, there would be a radial menu for selecting an alien. (There may have to be 4 radial menus, considering how many aliens there are). I was also thinking that each alien has a skill set: Swampfire can shoot flamethrowers, and speed up plant growth. Upgrade shoots lasers and turns any transportation device into a war machine. Ghostfreak can pass through walls and fly. there should be a radial menu for each alien's abilities. Let's say G. That alien has 10 abilities you can unlock on the radial menu. Z , X, C and V would open radial menus for transforming, and you would unlock aliens by killing monsters to get DNA. Until you unlock Master Control, you can only spend a certain amount of seconds being an alien, before the Omnitrix has to recharge. You also can't switch which alien you are while being an alien if you have not unlocked the Master Control function. I can't wait to see Upgrade and Goop:)
The master control will also be available as an upgrade to whatever Omnitrix you have. How does 5 minutes for the transformation and cooldown sound?
Current concept for the selection screen (thrown together in about 20 minutes):
The selection menu will be slightly transparent except for the alien rendering and the text. You can favorite up to 10 aliens for easy access. The selected skin name will be highlighted in green as shown. About the skin names -- special names for them? For instance, original Diamondhead could be called the Hiddenite skin and the Alien Force version could be called the Geode skin.

It's a cool concept. And I LOVE the msPaint look! xD
I can't help but feel like this will be really fun. =3

Hmm... This looks really cool. Maybe there could be an option for if you want to use a radial menu instead of this GUI? If there is not going ot be an option, there should at least be radial menus for the alien abilities, and the option to keybind certain ones. Ex: Heatblast shooting fireballs. Anyway, you're art is AMAZING

Sure, a radial menu (or five-ish) could be used instead. No alien really has enough abilities to warrant a radial menu, so all their powers can be a keybind.
Also; expect a new model by tonight, as one of my favorite aliens I really wanted to get it right while still being Minecraft-y.
Just a thought. Maybe Waybig could have extended reach and massive strength, thus making his usable. Possibly six or seven blocks tall, at max? Waybig could possess energy waves that have a large cool down time, but cause massive destruction; similar to the Ender Dragon flying through objects.

BTW, which version?

Thanks for the support!
I'm hoping to keep it as up to date as possible.
You are my hero! I have desperately wanted a Ben 10 mod for years, and now there's a real possibility of one. Thank you! =)

Maybe. Once version 1.0 is released I'll see about making a poll.
And about that new "s-word"... maybe use Lenopan until we know if it's ok to use?

I like it! =D
Maybe fire based Aliens could deal fire damage when attacking? Kind of like fire aspect on a weapon, but better?
And BTW, I am quite curious about this. Will there potentially be a Master Control function?
