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).

Note the linked discord is the Better Animals Plus discord but due to the connected nature of the two mods, we have a section for Better Animal Models as well
Yes, this mod can be included in any modpack, as long as the modpack is distributed for free and credit is given.

Finally a mod that cares about squids and wolves. Altough the wolf model is a bit weird to me its still much better than the vanilla. Can't wait for the updates.
Mod Compat for Doggy Talents pwease
In reply to Rmdhn1:
I feel like stuff like wolf armor and doggy talents are outside of my scope- mostly because I have to replicate their featureset in the renderer and I don't feel like I have time for all that, which is why I've been so adamant against doing it.
How do you convert .class to .json? i feel like i can make this compatible myself since i did my own modeling for resource packs way back
In reply to Rmdhn1:
having a trouble opening the wolf model to Blockbench if you could give me te original .json file that'd be nice
In reply to Rmdhn1:
it's not a json model, it's a tabula model. You can't do this yourself, that's not how that works.
In reply to ist_meow:
so then how do i do it?
Heey will this be updated to 1.14.4 to match the better animals plus mod again?
In reply to Roxy_Foxy_17:
Eventually, yes.
In reply to ist_meow:
Ooooh awesome! Can't wait :D
In reply to Roxy_Foxy_17:
It's up, check it out!
In reply to ist_meow:
Oooooooh Sooooo awesome!!!!
Can you add compatibility with the spider family from Primitive Mobs?
Do you plan on updateing other mods from base game?
In reply to Arctic90x:
Yes
Sweet, I also seen your showcase you are part of for your Better Animals Plus mod man it was great I loved it <3
Should you add integrations with Charm and Special Mobs please? (I mean - spider from Special Mobs and pets with Charm).
I quite liked the old models included in this mod, they just fitted the Minecraft "theme" a lot better, since they're more blocky (although I'm not bashing on the new ones, they actually look quite good, but they seem too realistic)... could you possibly supply them as an option in this mod, and while you're at it, I would love for you to make a mooshroom version of that cow model, as well as a llama that fits the old style. Thank you.
In reply to pinkrabbitsaysshoot:
If I did, any new models would be in the new style, which would include the llama. I'm not really trying to make this a mod that "could be added to vanilla" but instead makes vanilla (and vanillaesque models from other mods) better match the rest of modded. This is assuming if I even have the original remodels, which is unlikely.

Can you make a modcompat for DoggyTalents?
