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.

If you like the models in this mod, and are looking for some new animals to spice up your game, check out Better Animals Plus, a mod adding a variety of new creatures.

FAQ

Q: Can I disable certain replacements?
A: Yes. There is a configuration file that allows you to disable replacements.

Q: Is this mod compatible with [mod]?

A: Unless it's listed in the features, then no, we don't replace its models. Some mods will also override our overrides, for example, Wolf Armor, which we are not compatible with.

Q: Does the server's configuration affect anything?

A: No, this mod does nothing when installed on a server, and it's not required to be installed on the server.

Q: Can I join servers with this mod?

A: Yes, this mod is client-only. It could be compared to a resource pack, but fancier. You can join vanilla servers with it to no issue whatsoever.

Q: Can I use this mod in a pack?

A: Yes, so long as it is hosted on Curse or private. If you wish to publicly host a pack on another platform (like technic), please ask or consider using Curse as it supports developers.

Additional Information

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 to 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.
