Gives a little colour variety to various mobs in the game. Some are subtle, some are more obviously different. This change is purely cosmetic.

Technical

  • Mobs should retain their colours on saving/loading.
  • Only brand new spawned mobs will have a chance at new colours, for example there will be no problems on a fresh world, but on an existing world you'd have to kill a pig and wait for a new one to spawn from the empty pig house to have a chance at a new colour.
  • This mod no longer overwrites game core files, shouldn't clash with other mods (unless they change prefab builds).
  • Configuration options are now enabled! Choose which animals you want to see variety in.
  • Beefalo are still under consideration, since I'm trying to see if I can colours to say consistent during the domestication process.[/list]
