More Mob Variants
📖 About
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.
Variants are added through NBT, meaning that they will be persistent across all players.
All variants and features are data-driven, allowing for full customization through datapacks.
💡 Installation
This mod is available for both Forge and Fabric! Make sure you download the correct version.
The fabric version of this mod requires Fabric API! Get it here.
This mod has to be installed server-side and client-side, although clients without the mod can still join servers with the mod.
