Pride Sheep
Pride Sheep adds sheep with pride flag textures, which players select by naming a sheep after a flag, on Fabric and Quilt for 1.21.
What it does
A sheep is given a pride texture by naming it with a flag name, and the texture follows the suffix attached to that name. Two flags ship with the mod, the classic pride flag and the progress pride flag, and each one changes the sheep's wool to match the chosen design.
Custom flags are added through a resource pack rather than code. A creator copies the vanilla sheep fur template, saves the new textures under the pride-sheep namespace in the entity sheep folder as PNG files, and names the file after the flag so a sheep with that name shows the custom texture. Fabric API is required, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, with version 1.0.1 for 1.21 as the latest release from 2024-08-05. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.
Key features
Classic pride flag
A sheep named with the classic pride name takes the matching rainbow wool texture.
Progress pride flag
A second built-in flag gives sheep the progress pride design, selected the same way by name.
Custom flags by resource pack
Players and creators add new textures by placing PNG files in a resource pack, without editing the mod.
Name-based texture switching
Renaming a sheep with a flag suffix changes its texture, and the texture file name decides which flag the suffix maps to.

Use cases
Pride displays on a client
A player renames sheep in a farm or a build to show a chosen flag while playing singleplayer or on a server that does not run the mod.
Resource pack flags
A texture artist publishes a pack with extra flag textures for other players to name their sheep with.
Who it’s for: Players who want pride wool on their own client, and creators who design additional flag textures through a resource pack for the 1.21 release.
How it compares
Pride Update is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and runs as Client and server on Fabric for 1.21.1 – 26.1.2. Joy Mod is a Fabric and Quilt mod for 1.21.1 with a custom license and is not open source; it also requires both sides. Pride Sheep is client-side only, so it can be installed alone without server support.

What the author says
To add your own pride flags, create a resource pack. Use the texture minecraft:textures/entity/sheep/sheep_fur.png as a template and put your textures in pride-sheep:textures/entity/sheep/ (must be PNGs). Sheep named pride_ and then the file name will show your custom texture.
