About this project

What does Sheep Variety add?

Sheep Variety is here to fix a great injustice! 🐑 Chickens, pigs, and cows got fancy biome variants in vanilla, but sheep were left behind. No more! Sheep finally gain brand new models and textures based on the biome they live in. Woolly sheep for colder regions, horned sheep for warmer climates, and flocks that actually fit their homes. 🌍

No gameplay changes, just better looking sheep wherever you go. ✨ From chilly mountains to warm badlands, every climate gets a little more personality. Explore, discover, and meet sheep that finally look like they belong. Stylish, fluffy, and long overdue. 🌿

⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT & REQUIRED ON SERVER

⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE)

⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric).

For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.

🌟 Huge thanks to JOHNM for sharing their original concept on Reddit and for providing all the awesome new models and textures.
