Description

About

Aussie Parrots brings the diversity of Australia's parrots into the world of Minecraft.

All the Aussie parrots spawn alongside the vanilla ones, resulting in the jungles bustling with a plethora of unique parrot types to encounter!

Currently the pack adds 52 variants across 33 of Australia's parrot species, specifically members of the Psittacidae Family (or True Parrots) and the Cacatuidae Family (known as Cockatoos).

Australian Parrots V.1

Requirements

  • This requires either ETF/EMF or Optifine to display the texture variants and adjusted models correctly.

Compatibility

This should work on any version that supports custom entity models and entity variant features in resource packs. The pack format has been changed to accomodate for 1.21.9 which should work for versions beyond that.

Due to the nature of the parrot's underwing textures, all the vanilla parrots were modified to have their textures align with the modified UV. I have not tested to see if this causes conflicts with other resource packs that modifies parrots, but if it does, please let me know.

Future Plans - Feature Complete

Aussie Parrots covers only the Australian parrots only. Currently, the resource pack is considered feature complete, with no other plans to add more parrot species in the future. Including parrot sounds is still a possibility but it won't be a priority. A potential Bedrock version may be considered down the future. 

Current Plans

  • Additional Australian parrot species and variants [Complete]
  • Australian Cockatoos and their variants [Complete]
  • Custom parrot sounds for the new variants (possibly)

Feel free to use this in videos, screenshots, animations or modpacks! Just leave a credit and link to the page please. :)

I hope you enjoy it! Feedback and suggestions are welcome!
