About this Mod
⚠ The 1.21 branch of this mod is technically compatible with 1.20, but notheless requires at least Java 21 to function.
Zombie UUID Preservation
If you use texture-packs that randomize villager textures, you may have noticed that their appearances change after being zombified or cured.
This mod fixes that, by ensuring the villager's UUID is preserved after each conversion.
The fix occurs on the server-side
Although being developped around villagers, this also takes effect on some other forms of conversion:
- Piglin and Hoglin zombification
- Skeletons turning into strays
- Husks turning into zombies
- Zombies turning into drowned
