J6's Mob Variants
by J677
J6's Mob Variants changes the colors and patterns of existing animals and mobs in the world, with variants tied to biome.
What it does
Variants are assigned to mobs by biome, so certain biomes produce animal variants that are not common elsewhere. Spawns include Rusty and Ashen forms in forest and midnight settings, Sunflower and Cherry Grove forms in flower areas, Muddy Marsh pigs in marshes, Jungle chickens alongside Warm chickens, and Frozen Ocean variants. Additional variants can be added through data packs.
The mod is installed on the server, and players may add it on the client. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 9 release versions, 1.21.5 – 26.2, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Biome-based variants
Mob variants spawn according to the biome a player explores, so each region shows its own animal forms.
Data pack expansion
A data pack can add more animal variants to the game beyond the ones the mod provides.
Forest and flower variants
Forest, midnight, flower forest, meadow, sunflower plains and cherry grove biomes each spawn their own variants.
