Cyber's Better Animal Models
Better animals without the bells and whistles!
Have you ever looked at the common pigs, chickens, cows, etc, then looked at the horse? You may have noticed a clear difference in design, and how much better the horse looked. As you know, something similar happened in 1.13, but in reverse. So the question is, why make the horse worse when you could make the other animals better? This mod aims to do just that. This mod is very simple in its goal--better animal models but without adding genders, breeds, special care, etc., as some of us simply want the vanilla animals to look a bit better.
As of now, the mod adds better models for the following mobs:
- Chickens
- Cows
- Mooshrooms
- Sheep
- Pigs
- Spiders
- Cave Spiders
- Silverfish
- Wolves
- Polar Bears
- Squids
- Mod Compat:
- PrimalCore (Bears, Ovis Atre, Steppe Wolf)
- Sophisticated Wolves (All Wolves)
- AbyssalCraft (Evil, Demon, and Antimobs, as well as the Coralium Squid)
- Brown Mooshroom's Brown Mooshroom
- Quark random texture variants feature. Requires Quark r1.5-149 or later.
- The Midnight (Nightstag)
There is also a config to disable and enable select models being replaced.
Warning: this mod is NOT compatible with wolf armor. Wolf armor will overwrite the wolf model (including sophisticated wolves!)
Better Animal Models is a client-only mod. Installing it on the server will work, but simply disable it. Clients with Better Animal Models are able connect to vanilla servers (so long as it does not break rules, and they do not have any other non-client mods).

Frankly, i love that you have mod compatibility with abyssalcraft and the midnight mod. But do you think you can make this mod work with the Aether legacy or Aether 2 mod? because i'm tired of seeing the overworld mobs look cool, while the Aether cows, pigs, and sheep look like the original.
In reply to Shadowcheetah202:
Its definitely possible for us to do later, just currently we're busy with both an update for BAP and a new Spookyjam mod.
how to do I use the conquest resource pack with this
In reply to roarimatrex:
Well someone is working on a version of Conquest that works with this mod, so once its done, just install it like any other resource pack. But until then Conquest won't affect the animal textures.
could you add better models for fossils and archeology?
In reply to cheeseplease1234:
The other artist on Better Animals Plus has actually started this, but I'm not sure his progress.
As for things like the quagga, it won't get a remodel until I remodel the vanilla horses (which will be sometime in 1.14)
The spiders look kind of weird at night, they glow for no reason in darkest places. Here's a screenshot:

I'm using Minecraft 1.14.4 with Forge 28.1.0 and OptiFine 1.14.4 HD U F4 pre9 (because the non-pre versions didn't work).
I have Faithful 1.14.4 r3 texture pack which I turned off and didn't fixed the issue.
Also I'm using SEUS Renewed shaders (which I think is causing the problem).
In reply to Sepsol:
Its due to shaders yes, they don't work the best with mobs that have a glow layer, such as spiders. Likewise the same thing happens in Better Animals Plus with its wolves when shaders are used
In reply to cybercat5555:
I don't know any of the behind the scenes technical stuff. Do you think it's possible for you to work on a fix with SEUS? This mod makes the game look so good.
In reply to Sepsol:
I don't know what causes it and I'm not very concerned about it.
hello dear thank u for mod :)
This is my video on youtube explain how to download your mod ... ( no voice )
Any chance on Hostile Mob Models in 1.14.4? xD It's a much need
The only sad thing , is It doesn't use the resource pack I use , which is Understandable considering these have complete new and sometimes complex models ( spiders work fine tho)
Great work
Comment désactiver le modèle de loup pour jouer à ce mod avec une armure de Wolf.
Merci d'avance
In reply to fayerfay:
I don't speak French so you'll likely have to translate this, but you can disable the wolf model in the configuration. (betteranimals.cfg)
In reply to ist_meow:
Oh I'm sorry, I wanted to write English but it translated automatically into French, thank you very much I'll try it tomorrowIn reply to ist_meow:
Oh thank you! I followed what you said and it's good I can play with these two mods at the same time uwu Cybercat, gg at least you try!In reply to fayerfay:
Better Animal Models ne travialle pas avec une Wolf Armour mods....
(Mon français n'est pas bon)
In reply to cybercat5555:
Yeah, that was their point, question was how to disable the wolf so they could use wolf armor w/o this overriding it
Can you add compatibility to Lllamas, Ocelots, Rabbits, Hatchery's Rooster and DuckCraft's Duck?
