I don't know if anyone's realized, but the way mobs spawn in Minecraft is kind of weird. It's like, there's nothing there, and all of a sudden 5 zombies pop up. Instead, they should be given spawn animations. Different mobs, of course, would have different animations.
Undead: Zombies, skeletons, and zombie pigmen would appear to crawl out of the ground.
Creepers: Creepers would grow out of the grass in a pod-like thing, then it would burst and they come out.
Endermen: Endermen would just have a bunch of purple particles, so it looks like they teleported in from somewhere.
Slimes/Magma Cubes: A bunch of little, square slime/magma particles would come out of the ground and form into the slime/magma cube.
Anything from a mob spawner: In addition to the fire that normally comes out of the spawner, there would be a bunch of smoke and the mobs would appear to grow out of the spawner.
Ghasts: I can't really think of an actual animation for ghasts, so instead, their spawn conditions would be changed so they only spawn in lava, and then they would rise out of the lava.
Spiders: Not sure about these either. Maybe they could crawl out of the ground like the undead, or maybe they would just not spawn in the player's sight. That way it would look like they just emerge from behind a tree or in a cave or something.
That's all I have so far, what do you think? Constructive criticism is appreciated.
They don't have animations because unless your near a spawner they can't spawn within 25 blocks of a player, therefor making this useless.
i have to agree with this, even when it would be cool to have spawning animations, there are just a few cases where you can actually see mobs spawning, and it won't be anywhere close to you unless you are right by a spawner.
I may be mistaken, but don't Zombies have an ability that spawns more zombies when attacked? They could at least add an animation for the summoned zombies.

Sorry, but they're generally too far away for this to be a useful suggestion.
I barely ever see mobs pop out of nowhere unless I sit somewhere and just stare at it until something appears.

The puff of smoke I approve, but not the "appear to grow out of spawner" part

Not sure on this one. Just leave the Ghasts the same.

They could spawn from underneath blocks (to suggest they were hiding) while climbing down on a string?

This isn't really needed as it'll barely be seen.
Stay fluffy~
I'm back from my hibernation. Most likely gone so don't pm me.

This would cause a lot of lag to bad computers.
I am an artist. All the art you see on my profile is by me, if it's not I will say so and whom its owner is.
Make it an option then, like how you can turn clouds on and off. Or make it part of "Particle Effects" or something.
