Description

Original Mod Thread


Overview

This is a continuation of the original Baby Models mod, originally by cocoavalley.

Replaces the vanilla baby models with the models created for the original Baby Animals Mod. Model Swapper does not have any of the functionality of the Baby Animals mod, it only changes the look of the baby animals. You still interact with them the same way as you would the vanilla animals.

NOTE: Baby Animals Model Swapper is client-side only; it should not be installed on a server.


Permission

Baby Animals Model Swapper is licensed under MIT by CocoValley, and the continuation is open source by MrIbby.

Until further notice, I will no longer be updating these mods. A lot has changed in the past year ... Perhaps one day if/when the fabled official API is released I will be able to revive these projects in a more sustainable way. Until then, however, there will be no more official updates. I'm glad so many, many, people have enjoyed them :)

I'm leaving links to the very latest source javas. Squickens files are from 1.6.4 but probably don't need much changing. The model swapper files are not standalone, they are core class modifications. There are some fancy things in the unofficial APIs that can probably be used to insert the code at runtime and make the model swapper more compatible. Someone who knows what they are doing should able to very easily get them working in any version, and probably better than I ever could.

Modpack Permission

You don't need it! Please feel free to include the mod in your mod packs!


Installation and Instructions:

  • FORGE 1.6.4 and later - Drop the jar file into "mods" in your .minecraft folder -OR-
  • No Forge or pre-1.6.4 - Backup your minecraft.jar. It wouldn't hurt to back up your saves folder, either. Unzip the downloaded Baby Animals Model Swapper file. Open minecraft.jar using your preferred compression software (7-zip, WinRAR, etc.) Copy the .class files and the 'mob' folder into minecraft.jar. Delete META-INF if it exists. Run Minecraft.

Compatibility

Add any of my mods at your own risk, back up your jars and saves, I won't be held responsible for failure to read directions, so on and so forth. Mods that change the original animals will likely have issues with Model Swapper. If you are having trouble with other mods check the ForgeModLoader-client- log file in your .minecraft folder. It will tell you if there are problems.
