animals variants
by EldenQC
Animals Variants adds a new cold cow variant to the world, a light brown Highland-style cow that spawns as a separate type.
What it does
The mod adds a cold cow, a light brown variant of the cow that generates in the world alongside the standard cows. It is a simple port of the new cold cow Highland for Minecraft 1.21.1, and the same variant is included in a later build. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players who join do not have to install anything. Builds cover 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.3 as the latest Fabric file for 1.21.1.
Key features
Cold cow variant
A new cow variant with a cold, light brown coat spawns in the world as its own animal type.
Highland cow port
The variant is ported from the Highland cow design, so its look follows that model rather than the default cow.
Client-side rendering
The new variant is visible only on the client, so it changes how cows appear without altering server behavior.
