What it does

The goal of this mod is to replicate the Optifine random entities feature set, but in Fabric.

What can it do?

Loading and parsing of Optifine packs
Random textures based upon .properties rules and generic variations
Emissive textures
Eyes feature renderer - this is turned off when Iris is loaded, for now
Villager outer layer feature renderer
Should support modded gameplay, the code should not make any distinctions between vanilla and not

What can it not do? (for now)

ModMenu options integration
Properties name rule is not adhered to at all, and is ignored for time being
Other feature renderers, for like Withers etc
Support for paintings
Not tested all entities, such as horses, wolfs etc

Why should it be in the modpack

Should be fully compatible with Sodium and Iris.

Why shouldn't it be in the modpack

This project is still in Alpha stage, expect some issues and report them when you can.

Categories

New feature, Works like Optifine/Bedrock Edition/Forge/etc, Replaces an existing mod

Additional details

Alternative of varied mob textures and don't require conversion #75
Replaces Entity Texture Features #231

I don't think it should be in the pack
Especially since, its still a WIP / In alpha stage and still does not have many prominent features to be a replacement to #231
There can be many bugs regarding it and many unknown mod incompatibilities.

In what way is it better than #231?

idk I haven't tried it yet I got it and I instantly created this issue

Alright, I'll just keep the issue open for feedback then.
And obviously I would want Curseforge and fixing the things it can not do yet.

This was a personal project I started last year (September time) and decided to share it now because I don't have as much time to work on it

Thanks for the suggestion, I've decided that this is not worth tracking at the moment as there is a full-featured and well-updated mod included already. If something changes, the issue can be reopened later.
