by Boid

Old babies is a Fabric client-side mod that brings back the original large-headed look of baby mobs in Minecraft 26.1 and later.

FabricClient-side onlyAll rights reserved26.1 – 26.3

What it does

Starting with the 26.1 baby mob overhaul, baby mobs were given revamped models. This mod restores the original models for those baby mobs, and a configuration screen opened through Mod Menu lets a player switch the classic models on or off for each mob. Shift-clicking a toggle in that screen changes the classic model for that mob. Baby rabbits keep the updated default model. Resource packs that replace mob textures can be used alongside the mod. Only the client needs it, so players can join servers without installing it. Builds cover 26.1 – 26.3, the author's files are under All rights reserved, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

How it compares

Full comparison

Classic Villagers is open source under the MIT License, optional on either side, and covers 26.1.1 – 26.1.2, so it restores the villager look rather than baby mobs. Baby Zombies from snapshot-7 is client-side only, under the MIT License, and built for 26.2 – 26.3, covering zombies alone. RabbitFixMod is open source under the MIT License and requires both client and server for 26.1.2 – 26.3.
