Vanilla Mob Variants
Taking inspiration from Optifine's random alternate mob textures, this resource pack brings aprox. 800 variations per mob, for over 45 mobs in the game! This is done using a combination of alternate textures, entity tinting, and model scaling to make mobs with even the same texture look slightly unique. This pack will continue to be updated with more mobs and textures as long as people show interest in it!
To reduce the amount of times team needs to review the changes, this page will only be updated for major updates. For more minor updates, news, and feedback, check out our discord: https://discord.gg/UbjD9ny
Current Features (as of V2.0):
For 54 of the original mobs ,each mob has:
- New texture variants (see feature table for numbers)
- Approx. 40 different subtle tint variations
- Approx. 5 different height variations
- Baby-specific variants for some mobs
A full gallery of the available variants will be coming to the discord soon - but until then, you'll have to go out and look for all the variants yourself!
Pack Settings:
By clicking on the pack's gear icon in the pack selection page, you can select the kinds of texture variants that are active in the pack!

Why a Resource Pack?
Unlike addons that use a behaviour pack, resource packs can be applied in the global resources settings and then used everywhere - server, realms, and survival worlds without disabling achievements. Just set and forget!
The only downside to this is that the mobs will randomise their texture each time they are rendered - but this could be fixed using an optional behaviour pack (if enough people want it).

Licence and Sharing:
If you would like to share any part of this pack, you must:
- Include a link to my github page to disclose the original source - giving credit is the least you can do.
- Include the original licence file from this pack with any files that you use/share
- Include a file that:
- Lists the files/code snippets used from this pack
- Lists any changes made to those files/code snippets
- States that the included licence applies to the listed files
This will be the last update for a while, since the pack really needs to be remade to make use of all the new features available in 1.17.
In this update:
- Fixed compatibility with new mobs added by addons
- Baby cow geometry should be fixed
- Added two named variants, "Dave" the cod and "Koi" the salmon
- All named variants now use Capital first letters (full list of names on discord)
- Added one last round of community textures
Known Issues:
- Using this pack with older, outdated packs from before 1.16 will cause some mobs to render wrong (eg: zombie pigmen are invisible)
Thank you to everyone who has supported this pack. I hope you all continue to enjoy it until it is remade!
