Tails Legacy
by EnderTurret
Tails Legacy is a fork of the Tails mod that adds tails, ears, muzzles, wings and other accessories to the player model, and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
Accessories are equipped through the Tails Editor, which is reachable from the pause menu. Each part can be tinted in up to three colors, and a texture or subtype change can be applied to the equipped parts once the editor is closed. The editor has been partly redesigned, with subtype selection moved out of the part list and into a separate texture selector above it.
The fork brings the original mod forward to newer Minecraft versions and adds a large number of new parts, likely doubling the count of the original. Parts, subtypes, textures, attachment types and animations are data-driven, and the data format, the Tails library and the player data and config files have been overhauled, with older saves still upgraded automatically. Arrows stuck in a player can be rendered as an opt-in feature. Skin import and export were removed because they do not work with the new part system.
The mod requires Fabric API on every loader. It is open source under the MIT License, and public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker. Files target 1.7.10 – 26.3, with the latest builds for 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge and 1.20.1 on Forge. Either side can run it, and neither needs it.
