📖 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.
