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).

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.
you can add models for outfox? (i don't speak english)
In reply to NajitoKomadreja:
That would be great
its going be problematic if someone want make HD texture out of this model. is somehow any preference app to edit the texture without checking it in game. lets say i want make 512x texture, but when i see the png files the texture for this entity model is over all the place. need some viewer or any preference modeling app should i use?
In reply to Botaxalim:
Tabula.
Can you add support with extended wildlife mod by rolik1997 please?
Should I be using Alpha builds or waiting for release?
In reply to mircast:
5.2 was marked as alpha due to bugs (see crash above).
In reply to itsmeow:
yeah thats the main reason why I dont add it to my worlds, some alphas are more stable than others so im never sure
In reply to mircast:
5.2.1 release build is out - safe to use that
In reply to itsmeow:
ill give it a go :)
Great Mod!
Now I just need something for the hostiles and villagers.
How do you install this mod? Almost none of these cool mods have installation instructions. All users need is a sentence saying if it has to be unzipped before moving or does it go in the mod or resource pack folder.
In reply to glbernini0:
All mods here are installed the exact same way. I would suggest you look up how to install mods. You can also use the Twitch launcher. Most users have a mutual understanding of how this is done.
In reply to ist_meow:
Your reply is not true, all mods are not installed the exact same way. Some mods need to be unzipped before dropping into a folder. The folders where files are place is different as well. Why not just answer the question instead of being condescending? What is a mutual understanding of how this is done? That statement does not make sense? Where do I look up how to install mods on this page?
In reply to glbernini0:
Read the answer again. " All mods HERE are installed the exact same way".
Drop them in the /mods folder. Done. There ya go.
