NovaHook API
NovaHook is an API which implements easy-to-use functions for overriding Entity textures at runtime, based on both the default texture which will be overridden, and the state of entities in-world.
Note that this mod does not implement resource pack features for end users! This mod is intended entirely as a library for mods which do implement resource pack features.
Currently available for Fabric 1.17.1 (requires Fabric API version 0.45.0+1.17, and Fabric Loader version 0.12.12 )
