Maple's Pig Collection
by MapleMods
Maple's Pig Collection changes the look of pigs in the world, swapping their textures as the seasons turn, with a config and command set to tune the result.
What it does
Pigs spawn with variant textures across the world, and the variant set is custom designed. Textures change automatically with the season, using the Northern or Southern hemisphere dates, which are picked automatically or set by command. A pig named with a name tag keeps its current texture before a new season starts, and the name tag behavior can be turned off in the config. Pigs that have already loaded can be reset to the current texture with an admin command, and the config can be reloaded without restarting.
The mod depends on Sapling, which must be installed alongside it. Both the client and the server need Maple's Pig Collection so that players see the same textures, and the environment is client and server. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest build 26.2-1.0 for 26.2 dated 2026-07-06. The project is released under All rights reserved, and it is not open source, although source code and an issue tracker are linked publicly.
