About this project

What does Big Nose Animals add?

Big Nose Animals

Give Minecraft's familiar animals a wonderfully ridiculous makeover. Big Nose Animals replaces the visuals of peaceful and neutral vanilla mobs with photorealistic animals sporting absurdly oversized noses.

The mod is visual-first: replaced vanilla animals keep their original behavior, AI, taming, breeding, variants, drops, and spawning rules. Your worlds continue to play like Minecraft—only the wildlife looks much funnier.

Features

  • Photorealistic big-nose visuals for 35+ vanilla animals
  • Dedicated Big Nose Wolf and Big Nose Sheep entities with spawn eggs
  • Rare natural Big Nose Wolf groups in forest biomes
  • Natural Big Nose Sheep groups across Overworld biomes
  • No changes to vanilla mob mechanics or progression

Replaced animals

Armadillo, axolotl, bat, bee, camel, cat, chicken, cod, cow, dolphin, donkey, fox, frog, goat, horse, llama, mooshroom, mule, ocelot, panda, parrot, pig, polar bear, pufferfish, rabbit, salmon, sheep, sniffer, squid, glow squid, strider, tadpole, tropical fish, turtle, and wolf. Trader llamas, skeleton horses, and zombie horses use their matching Big Nose visuals as well.
