Q&A
Why did you even do this?
- I kind of felt like it.
Will you add any new animal models if they get added in new snapshots?
- If enough people want me to then yes, likely.
How do I change the texture and model to something I want?
- The model cannot be changed unless you code your own mod, you can see how I did it and then add your own model, or use Entity Texture Features & Entity Model Features. If you want to change the texture then please refer to the text above the Q&A.
