Add more metals to the Cow Ear Jewelry. [Easy]
Add new colors to the Cow Ears/Tail like pink, purple & blue spots and spotless white, black and brown. [Easy]
Long and Short Cow Tails (Going to try to add bows or cute things to them). [Hard]
More horns shapes and sizes, like longhorn cattle and bull horns. [Medium]
Animate the Cow Ears unless someone comes out with an ear animation mod first. [Hard]
A custom Crafting Table so clothes can be crafted in game, this is a big maybe and might not happen for a long while. [Hard]

What’s New in v3.0 & v3.1: The Handcrafted Update

This update marks a major shift for Homestead Threads! I have retired the edited base-game overalls in favor of a brand-new, 100% handcrafted model built from scratch. This custom model allows for more unique detailing and better fits the "cozy farmer" aesthetic.

Major Changes

New Hand-Built Model: Overalls have been completely remodeled for a more authentic, artisanal look. 100% handmade model and textures. The Cow Patch and Overall Snaps are 3D elements, not just flat textures. There will be more patches, rips, and addons in the future, please feel free to leave suggestions in the comments, A discord server is currently being created for suggestions and easier discussions/requests.

Note: This model currently works best without a shirt. A "shirt-compatible" version might release in a future update.

11 vibrant colors (They match the Cowbell Necklace): Grey, White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Lime, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, and Pink.
The new model comes in 4 distinct styles:
- Classic Overalls (Standard)
- Overalls with Cow Patch (For the ultimate bovine fan!)
- Overalls with Belt Loops
- Overalls with Cow Patch & Belt Loops

About Me & Issues/Suggestions:

I have a deep passion for digital and pixel art and have been creating both for over 25 years. Along the way, I’ve picked up experience in 3D modeling with Blender, texture creation in Substance Painter, and I've created some simple animations. I’m excited to bring all of these skills together as I begin creating new items and clothing for Hytale.

Diving into Blockbench has been a brand new adventure for me, and it’s definitely come with a steep learning curve, plus plenty of trial and error. I’m still getting comfortable with Blockbench’s specific workflows, so it may take a little time before I feel fully proficient. I know there are things I can improve, and some items may need revisiting as I learn more. I truly appreciate you joining me on this journey as I grow, experiment, and bring more “moo-velous” creations to life.

This is my very first mod collection, and I’ve poured a lot of love into it. I’ve tested everything to make sure they behave as expected during your adventures, but with so many items included, there’s always a chance I may have missed something.
