How to Add Custom Mob Skins in Minecraft

Everybody loves to customize their little furry friends in minecraft so here’s a way to do it with just a name tag hey guys it’s chad today we’re checking out transmobifier which is a way to change the texture and even the model of the animals inside of minecraft those

Mobs that we love it’s uses optifine and a texture pack so it’s so easy to install all your friends can do it and you could even see the changes you make on your animals on someone else’s game if they just download optifine and this texture pack so it’s really really

Simple and easy to share between friends big thanks to six fit blue for creating this and let’s jump in so here we are inside of minecraft and the first thing that you’re gonna want to do is make sure that you’re running an optifine version of minecraft head on over to optifine.net and

Go ahead and download the latest version for 1.12.2 just looking at the normal minecraft screen it’s not obvious that you’re running an optifine version you have to head into options and video settings and then you can see uh a just by the amount of extra settings in b in the corner it’ll show

That you’re running optifine for which minecraft version you are running once you have that you’re going to need to load up the resource pack the trans mobifier resource pack and that’ll be found in the description of this video once you’ve done that go ahead and load up a

World or you can even do this on servers that also uh are basically using this so how this works is in optifine you can assign uh resource packs or resource pack uh textures specific textures to mobs if they are named specifically for that texture so i have a few mobs

Here and we’re gonna run through them and texture these as we go the first three just kind of get it get you a little bit started get you showing off is some iron golems you can see that these are normal iron golems nothing is different with them they haven’t been

Renamed and i have a name tag and this is called oak golem and the only thing special about this name tag is that the letters are specific to oak gollum and so i can take a name tag myself go in here and rename it oak

Golem and the moment that i do you can see that the name tag switches from a normal name tag texture to a a different texture and as you’ll see whatever this little it’s almost like a keychain almost on top uh on onto a name tag this actually will give you a little

Bit of a signifier of what is about ready to happen you can see that all of these are different as we head down the line so we take our oak golem name tag and then just name the mob as you normally would and bam he changes into a re-textured

Mob which is really really cool this oak golem looks awesome i did one in spruce just so that you could uh get the idea and this doesn’t just go as far as textures so you’re not just only retexturing uh these guys you can actually change how the actual uh

Mob looks how the model of the mob looks so this is an intergollum uh this was uh sort of something that was kind of teased in minecon earth and so here we go this is a intergollum with two heads instead of one with cool little things sticking on uh the

Shoulder pads there and the arms are even larger than a normal oak golem and you can see that he he works he moves right now he’s not moving a whole lot his heads will look around at you i mean just really really cool stuff there uh just from simply renaming these mobs so

You can see just how powerful this can be so uh in the description is a link to uh the forum post and in there there’s a big spreadsheet of which mobs will work with which name tags so if i was to take this intergollum and rename this pig intergollum well nothing’s really going

To happen because it’s not associated with this mob specifically so there is a spreadsheet that you can make sure that you match all the mobs correctly this is a red panda so we’re going to redo this pig to be a red panda isn’t that just super duper adorable look at those ears

Look at that poofy tail you just want to rub your face in it adorable here is a koala oh my gosh gotta get some eucalyptus feed this guy’s stat cause he is adorable next are the dogs and uh cats now i really really am excited about the dogs and cats because

Uh you don’t really have a you know i don’t really keep a pig around or a adorable red panda around in my base normally but i do keep a dog or a cat around and these guys you form connections with they follow you around they can sit they can defend you so here

Are a few extra little things that you can do with them this is a dyed dog and remember all i’m doing is renaming a name tag all you have to do is name it die dog and then apply it to the dog now nothing happens uh at the beginning and that is because

This texture is also associated oh you know what i haven’t tamed any of these guys that’s one of the reasons okay i was mistaken sorry about that my dyed dog is now red uh whenever you tame a dog its collar is normally a red color and so what this specific dog is doing

Is it’s taking that color and it becomes the entire dog so if i wanted a blue dog or a cyan dog all i’d have to do is hit it with the dye and there you go you got a cyan dog a blue dog let’s try out a yellow dog kind of like a

Yellow gulp you know lab retriever something like that uh and so now there is the entire dog has died instead of just uh the collar of the dog next these are specific breeds of dogs this is a german shepherd dog boop there you go oh my gosh he looks fierce he

Looks amazing and then the collar on this guy i think will work exactly you know i haven’t tested this so let’s fight yeah it does okay fantastic i was worried that i was uh speaking before i knew uh what would happen uh but yeah so this is an actual german shepherd looks

Really cool this looks more almost like a uh retexture but uh finally we’re gonna end off with a different type of dog but also a really really really cool uh addition uh and and that is you don’t have to let’s say you had your favorite dog uh you know in

Real life and you wanted to name your dog after that dog but you also wanted the retextured well generic naming a dog generic german shepherd isn’t really all that exciting so introducing a new aspect to this is codes so i’m about ready to add a code

To this dog so this is the w 56 code and that code actually corresponds to the shibu inu dog so if i let’s say my my dog my actual dog’s name is uh charlie now i don’t know charlie isn’t a shibuya but if he was oh my gosh

It would be perfect so he would be named charlie w56 the w56 is associated with the texture and there does have to be a space in between uh the name and the code and so now i have a much more there we go oh my gosh she’s so adorable

So now i have a much more specific to me named dog and oh just named him oat gollum and now he has a name of charlie which is so much more meaningful to me than just plain old german shepherds so you can use codes and all these codes

Are also in uh the link in the description in the spreadsheet next let’s move on to cats now uh me just actually taming all these cats i had a problem uh taming a whole bunch of cats so we have only the uh these orange cats those are the only ones that uh i

Was able to uh to get so we’re gonna make one a brown tabby oh look at that perfect okay go ahead and sit so you don’t follow me around everywhere oh sit sit oh my gosh just like a real cat doesn’t want to uh obey next is a gray tabby

So let’s get a better view of this guy boop there we go that’s more like my cat waffles and also we have a few few cheshire cats so a blue and a pink cheshire cat so we could add that and add that and these guys look incredible

At night so you may be able to tell that uh their colors stand out a little bit more than the rest of them and this is really really obvious whenever you load up a shader so i’m going to click shaders and turn on one and there you go you can really

See that their extra little bits glow in the darkness which is way way cool you can see that there’s also some additions over here on the ender golem that uh some of their textures glow which is way cool it does work uh in without shaders but it

Is way cooler to see in shaders and finally uh you know it’s still a little close to the holidays although that is the new year uh this is something that was added for the holidays uh by naming a uh oh you know what i have to tame him

Too gosh darn it there we go naming a llama stringed lights doesn’t really look like much but when you add the carpet onto them they will be strung in the color of the carpet that you have added so uh let’s go ahead and add instead of that orange so now he has

Orange lights on him now he will have lime green lights very very cool and of course they’re animated uh just as you would expect you know if you’re gonna put string lights on a llama they’d they’d have to twinkle okay they wouldn’t just be uh a constant uh

Light so some really really really cool uh just i mean it’s just so so neat to see all of these very oh my god my cats are following me uh and also something as simple as just renaming these animals is totally doable so many people use optifine nowadays and adding this texture pack

On top of a normal texture pack is no big deal so you could basically have a server with all of these various different animals on them so easily without any modifications once again big thanks to six foot blue for creating this i can’t imagine all of the work

That it takes to create each a little mob even just the pixel art and then sometimes you have to add models and then making sure that it all works together very very cool you can find a link to this in the description below i know i’ve said that a few times
