Diamond's Shiny Mobs
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Requires Entity Texture Features (or optifine) to work❗
Adds a 1/2048 chance for every mob (excluding the tadpole and tropical fish) to be a different color.
If you thought pink sheep weren't rare enough then here you go.
This project is highly inspired by ludojeu115's resourcepack which you can find here:

I will add images of all shinies to the gallery at some point
always blame the horses
Do mobs stay shiny:
After being struck by lightning:
- pig ❌
- villager ❌
- mooshroom ✅
- creeper ✅ (also has a unique armor texture)
After zombification:
- villager ❌
- piglin ❌
- piglin brute ❌
- hoglin ❌
After unique interactions:
- being put in a bucket (all fish and axolotls) ❌
- creaking despawn/respawn ❌ (do not ask why it's a 1/2 chance, i might be stupid)
- tadpole growing up ❌ (which is why it has no shiny)
- zombie drowning, skeleton freezing ❌
- interacting with a dye (sheep, wolf) ✅
- name easter egg (eg. Toast) ✅
- ghastling growing up into a happy ghast ✅
- goat losing a horn ✅
