Cute Mob Models
Cute Mob Models is a Forge and ModLoader mod that swaps the default mob models for rounder, stylized designs taken from the MobTalker mod.
What it does
The mod replaces the generic vanilla mob models with the designs used by MobTalker, changing how animals and monsters look without altering their behavior. Because it only touches models, it is a client-side only change: a player installs it, and a server does not need it.
Several companion packages sit alongside the core mod, including a resource pack, a sound pack, a Bedrock Edition version and patches for other content packs. Its files are published for Forge and ModLoader across 17 release versions, 1.3.2 – 1.12.2, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the code is open source. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from the project.
Key features
MobTalker mob designs
Vanilla mobs are drawn with the rounded designs originally made for the MobTalker mod.
Resource pack companion
A separate CMM Resource Pack carries the new textures for players who want the look without the mod.
Sound pack
An optional Sound Pack gives the replaced mobs matching audio.
Compatibility patches
Patches for other content packs let the new models appear alongside that content.
