Slightly Better Sheep
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 a CEM mod like Entity Model Features or Optifine to work
About
In 1.21.5, Mojang changed the cow’s model and gave it a snout, making the sheep the only animal with a flat face. This resource pack changes that.
Version Info
In versions before 1.21.5, the pack doesn’t change any textures and should work with any pack that doesn’t modify the sheep’s model.
For 1.21.5 and later, it works with most packs that change the sheep’s texture, but it doesn’t show a difference between different colours when sheared.
