Maple's Frog Collection
by MapleMods
Maple's Frog Collection adds frog variants with custom textures that change with the seasons, and the frogs keep their skin once they have been spawned.
What it does
Frog variations spawn at random across the world, and each one has a custom texture that switches automatically with the season. The seasons follow the hemisphere set in the configuration, and the Northern or Southern hemisphere can be selected automatically. A frog that should keep one texture all year can be given a name tag before a new season starts, and a server owner can choose to make name-tagged frogs keep their texture. Seasonal textures can also be turned off during holidays.
The mod is built on Sapling, which must be present alongside it on the client and on the server. Maple's Frog Collection is a client and server mod, so every player needs it, and the server must run it too so that all players see the same textures. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for game versions 1.20.1 – 26.2, and the code is not open source. The latest builds target 26.2.
Key features
Seasonal frog textures
Frogs swap their textures automatically as the seasons change, with separate looks for spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Hemisphere setting
The season calendar can follow the Northern or Southern hemisphere, selected automatically or set by command.
Named frogs keep their skin
A name tag can hold a frog on its current texture through every new season, and a setting controls whether this applies.
Admin commands
Commands reload the config, reset textures on frogs already loaded in the world, flip season dates and toggle texture categories.
