meerkatx's cat recolorizer
by meerkatx
meerkatx's cat recolorizer lets server owners change the color variant of tamed and wild cats through a datapack.
What it does
The mod is a datapack that changes the coat variant of cats. Cats are recolored with fur dyes, which players craft from an emerald, a raw cod and a third item drawn from a list in the documentation, or receive through a command in creative mode. The recipes and commands work on servers that run the mod, and players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 26.1 and 26.2 as the latest builds.
The datapack also covers wolves, through the meerkatx's wolf variant changer listed as a companion. Items cannot be taken from the creative inventory in this version, so players craft the dyes instead. The project is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, with game versions 1.21.9 – 26.2.

What the author says
This datapack (or mod) allows you to change the variant of cats. Now when you flood your friend's base with cats, you can choose which color they are! Note: In the mod version it is currently impossible to obtain the items through the creative inventory, you need to craft them. (or use the command)
