[ETF] Entity Texture Features
by Traben
[ETF] Entity Texture Features adds random, custom and emissive entity textures from resource packs, reading the OptiFine format.
What it does
Resource packs made for OptiFine often include random mob variants, emissive glowing parts and custom textures chosen by properties such as name or biome. ETF reads that format on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt and adds extra properties of its own. It also has a simple format for blinking mobs and player skin features such as blinking and emissive parts.
Entities added by other mods are covered when they are drawn through the standard renderer. Settings open from a mod list screen, a button on the resource pack screen or a config file. ETF is client-side only and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Builds cover 34 release versions, with files for 1.16.5 – 26.3 and snapshots.
Key features
Random and custom textures
Entity texture variants are picked per entity from resource pack rules in the OptiFine format, with extra properties.
Emissive textures
Glowing parts of entity textures render with full brightness, as defined by the resource pack.
Blinking mobs
A simple texture format makes mobs blink, without writing complex rules.
Player skin features
Player skins can blink and use emissive parts as well.
