Can you turn into mobs in minecraft vanilla? [closed]

So, I recently watched a video of someone turning into a creeper, and I wonder if that’s a mod. I need as much answers as possible.

Solution 1:

You can't turn into mobs - at best you can change the player skin to one resembling given mob (although the model remains the same, so unless it's a zombie you're fooling no-one).

What you can do though, is to look through mob's eyes - spectate as that mob. In order to do so, enter the spectator mode and left-click the mob. From then on, until either you leave (using the shift "disembark" key as if leaving minecarts) or the mob dies, you're watching the world through that mob's eyes. And boy are some of these interesting!
