Extra Mobs: More Mob Variants
Extra Mobs: More Mob Variants gives cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, wolves, cats, zombies, skeletons and spiders dozens of hand-made texture variants, and the chosen look is saved on the server.
What it does
Each mob that spawns can take one of many hand-made textures, including named cow, pig, sheep and chicken patterns, tame and angry wolf coats such as huskies and German shepherds, cat markings, and zombie, skeleton and spider looks like mossy, sandy, weathered, tarantula and black widow forms. Sheep also gain extra colored wool variants. Variants persist across restarts and are synced from the server to players, unlike a client-side resource pack that only reskins the model for one player.
The mod requires Fabric API. The server must run it so variants are assigned and saved, while players may add it to see the same textures. Breeding inherits variants and remains persistent. The code and assets are released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which is open source, and the source and issue tracker are public. Files cover game versions 1.21.11 and 26.3, and the latest is 1.4.0 for 26.3, published 2026-10-08.
Key features
Texture variants for animals
Cows, pigs, sheep and chickens each have a set of named patterns and colors, such as pinto, sooty and skewbald.
Variants for hostile mobs
Zombies, skeletons and spiders receive alternate looks, including mossy, sandy, weathered, tarantula and black widow forms.
Persistent, synced variants
A mob keeps its look for good, and the server syncs it to players, so every client sees the same texture.
Inherited breeding
Offspring inherit the parent's variant, so a line of animals keeps its appearance over generations.
Extra wool colors
Sheep gain additional colored wool variants on top of the vanilla palette, and they can roll around in mud.
