Sheep Variety is here to fix a great injustice! Chickens, pigs, and cows got fancy biome variants in vanilla — but sheep? Left behind! No more. At last, sheep gain brand-new models and textures based on the biome they live in. Woolly sheep for cold places, horned sheep for warm climates — now your flocks finally fit their homes!
No gameplay changes — just better-looking sheep wherever you go. From chilly mountains to warm badlands, every climate gets a little more personality. Explore, discover, and meet sheep that actually look like they belong (and look a lot more fashionable). It's finally sheep’s time to shine!

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric). Please note that on older Minecraft versions installing Forge Config Screens is also a requirement.
For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.
