About this Mod
Bray's "Visually Waxed Copper Golems"
Gives waxed Copper Golems a distinct texture so it's easy to know which golems are waxed and which aren't!
NOTE:
To see the custom waxed texture correctly, make sure to also install the accompanying resource pack as well as install the latest version of Entity Texture Features!
How does this datapack work?
Because a Copper Golem's "next_weather_age" does not seem to be tracked clientside, it cannot be called by ETF to assign a unique "waxed" texture to a golem with just vanilla functionality. With the assistance of this datapack, all golems that have honeycomb applied to them are added to a team called "waxed" and then ETF assigns the unique, waxed texture to any copper golem on that team with the help of the Bray's Visually Waxed Copper Golems resource pack!
