More Mob Variants Passive Edition

by Rendzyme

More Mob Variants Passive Edition gives passive mobs new colour and pattern variants, such as muddy pigs, horned sheep and several dog breeds.

FabricForgeClient and serverCC0 1.0 Universal1.19 – 1.21.1

What it does

Variants are stored in the world data, so a mob keeps its variant across players and sessions. Pigs can appear muddy, sheep can grow horns, and skeletons spawn in the Nether in a new form. Albino variants are rare and turn up in taigas.

The mod adds dog breeds including Basenji, French Bulldog, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever and Husky, each with several coat variants. Its variants are defined in data, so datapacks can change or extend them. Default variants are included. The mod pairs with Mobs Refreshed.

It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, though players without the mod can still join a server that runs it. Files are published for Fabric and Forge across 8 release versions, 1.19 – 1.21.1, and the code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Passive mob variants

    Passive mobs such as pigs and sheep gain new variants that look different from the vanilla versions.

  2. Dog breeds

    Basenji, French Bulldog, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever and Husky each come with several coat variants.

  3. Persistent variant data

    Variants are saved with the mob's data, so they stay the same for every player who sees the world.

  4. Data-driven customization

    Variant definitions live in data files, so datapacks can adjust or add to them.

Questions

Does Mobs Refreshed need to be installed?

The mod is used with Mobs Refreshed, and the author text describes running them together, though it is not stated as a hard requirement.

Do players need the mod to join a server that runs it?

No. Players without the mod can still join a server that has it installed, although the variants will not appear for them as intended.

Can the variants be changed?

Yes. The variants are data-driven, so datapacks can customize them fully.

What the author says

Recent mobs that have been added to the game all have plenty of fun variants to look at, but what about the old ones? This mod adds new variants to the older mobs that all look the same, to make them a little more fresh.
