This datapack adds 7 biome dependent variants each for chickens, pigs and cow:

  • Sandy: These spawn in deserts and both eroded and normal badlands.
  • Cherry: These only spawn in cherry groves.
  • Icy: These spawn in snowy plains and slopes, ice spikes, frozen peaks and groves.
  • Jungle: These spawn in both sparse and normal jungles.
  • Pale: These only spawn in pale gardens.
  • Mushroom: These only spawn on mushroom islands. Since mooshrooms already exist only new mushroom pigs and chickens are added.
  • Forest: These spawn in dark, birch, taiga and normal forests, as well as their old growth variants.

Along side these the datapack also adds 6 new nametag easter eggs:

Moo: This turns cows into the ones from moo moo meadows in mariokart. Mentality: This turns cows pink, like the one in herd mentality. Shane: This turns a chicken blue, like the ones from stardew valley. Void: This turns a chicken into a void chicken from stardew valley. Angry: This turns a pig green, like the ones from angry birds. Legend: This gives a pig a technoblade crown.

  

This requires both a datapack and resource pack to work. The resource pack is located in the additional filessection
