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? Left behind! No more. At last, sheep gain brand-new models and textures based on the biome they live in. Woolly sheep for cold places, horned sheep for warm climates — now your flocks finally 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 actually look like they belong (and look a lot more fashionable). It's finally sheep’s time to shine!

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). Please note that on older Minecraft versions installing Forge Config Screens is also a requirement.

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 creating and providing all the awesome new models and textures.
