Shadeless Mobs
by Argis
Shadeless Mobs turns off the default shading on mob models, so vanilla and modded mobs render flat and unshaded on Forge for 1.12.2.
What it does
During startup the mod intercepts mob models as they are built and recreates them with shading turned off. Vanilla mobs and modded mobs are both covered, and no setup is needed once the file is installed. Only the client needs it, so players can join a server without installing anything.
Key features
Unshaded mob models
Mob models are rebuilt with Minecraft's default shading switched off, giving them a flat look.
Vanilla and modded mobs
Both vanilla mobs and mobs added by other mods are changed automatically at startup.
Pairs with Shadeless Blocks
The author notes it works alongside Shadeless Blocks for a consistent unshaded look across mobs and blocks.
