Awesome Sheep Swell
by Wulian233
Sheep grow thicker wool as they eat grass in Awesome Sheep Swell, a client-side Architectury port of an earlier sheep-wool mod.
What it does
Each sheep carries a wool thickness value between 1 and 10, and the value rises when the sheep eats grass. Thicker sheep yield more wool when sheared, with shearing adding between 0 and 2 extra wool based on the thickness. New sheep spawn with a random thickness, with lower values more common than higher ones. The maximum thickness is configurable, and a thickness can also be set directly with a summon command that uses the NBT tag.
The mod needs Architectury API and Cloth Config API alongside it, and it installs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 1.20.6, with the latest file for 1.20.6 on Fabric and NeoForge and for 1.20.4 on Forge. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with source code and an issue tracker linked from its project page.
Key features
Growing wool thickness
A sheep's wool thickens each time it eats grass, so a well-fed flock produces heavier fleece over time.
Extra wool on shearing
Shearing a thicker sheep yields between zero and two additional wool, scaled to the sheep's thickness.
Random spawn thickness
New sheep spawn with a thickness from 1 to 10, weighted so that thinner sheep appear more often.
Configurable maximum
The highest thickness a sheep can reach is set in the mod's configuration, and the summon command accepts a thickness tag.

How it compares
Wool Buttons is a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt decoration option that runs on either side and needs both, with the MIT License and open source status, for 1.12.2 – 26.3. Dyable Wools is needed on the server, with the client optional; it is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.20 – 1.21.11, so it reaches newer game versions than this mod. Fair Wool Crafting is a server-side option that players can join without installing, is not open source, and is released as All rights reserved for 1.17 – 1.21.

This mod has improved the sheep's wool, which is very useful and fun. The wool thickens as the sheep eats grass, and you'll get more wool when sheared! Awesome Sheep Swell (ASS) is the unofficial Architectury port of Chonky Sheep, now available for Fabric and Forge.
