I've been falling in love with Jappa's textures again lately, but I missed having regular Pigmen from the excellent Golden Days texture pack...so I decided to take matters into my own hands!
Heavily inspired by Golden Days, this texture pack converts Piglins to Pigmen, complete with name changes in-game!
This texture pack REQUIRES either OptiFine or Entity Model Features.
Zombie Pigmen are NOT included in this pack. I heavily recommend using Vanilla Tweaks' resource pack with them included (it can be found in the "Retro" section). It'll even change to its original model with OptiFine or Entity Model Features! However, text strings referring to Zombie Pigmen are included in this pack for consistency.
Credit goes to Vyacheslav on PlanetMinecraft for the original Pigman texture (I added the loincloth plus a few edits to make it closer to Golden Days' rendition), and PoeticRainbow himself for the original Optifine model files (used with permission).
