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).

Is this mod compatible with Charm's wolf and cat texture variants?
sorry for the inconvenience but one day the mod will be available in 1.15.2 ??
Suggestion: can you make the wolves the same size as in real life? thanks!
will this mod be for version 1.15.2?
I wish there was a way to make this not have to use a certain mod, even if it's installed.
for example, i have an older version of quark in my client to fix some visual issues with the aether, which i have reported, only to be told 1.12 basically isn't supported anymore.
but because of that, this mod sees that there's quark, but not for a version that they have been made compatible.
I tried going back versions of this mod... but the older versions didn't seem to have a config...
I'm interested to know if there's any way i can fix this...
Right, I am posting at the right page now, I guess... So, I am here to ask for compatibility with Animania. Their models are good enough, EXCEPT for the cows. They look pretty much vanilla, and I don't understand why... Anyways, It would be nice if their cows could look like the ones in this mod, i.e, like real cows. Thank you!
I'm sorry for asking, but how do I find the config? I'm trying to disable all but one animal model, but I can't figure out how, again I'm sorry for asking but I need some help.
are you updating this mod? like to newer versions and changing more mob designs or are you done with it and never gonna update it again?

We are updating it, it's just on the backburner behind Better Animals Plus and my life is super busy right now so I haven't had much time for mod work.

In reply to ameson1:
Yes, this is still active, and you can see progress on their Discord :)
Hey Can you add Ocelot/Cat models too and another suggestion is that the Polar Bear model is too tiny, because when you match it to the Better Animals Plus Bears then the polar bear is tinier, in turn the Polar bears are the biggest bear species.
In reply to martorius55:
The main problem with changing the size of vanilla entities is that hitboxes will be too small and weird out players. We can't resize hitboxes because the mod is client-sided. Essentially a "texture pack" but fancier. We can't change that kind of behavior without being classified as a hack client mod.
Any plans for 1.16.2 fabric?
