Alex's Tamables is a mod which focuses on making additional creatures from Alex's Mobs tamable, while preserving and expanding upon their original mechanics in a manner befitting their new tamable status.

Global Features

Tamables Are Their Own Entities

Tamable creatures are their own unique entities.  This means no modification code is run on Alex's entities directly.  When a default entity is converted into a tamable one, it is swapped out with a new entity type entirely.  This helps to minimize conflicts with other mods (however, other mods which do rely on modifying base Alex's Mobs entities probably won't affect Alex's Tamables versions).

New Creature Variants

Most Alex's Tamables creatures come with a new set of variants, most of which range from realistic to semi-realism.  This adds diversity and variety to newly tamable creatures.  Every species has its own inheritance logic, but in general, colors have a low chance of mutating into other neighboring colors.  Variants marked as [Rare] are mutations which have a low chance of appearing on spawn or through breeding.

Variants are controlled through the Variant NBT tag.  Nametag Easter egg variants are for the most part preserved, but act as a texture overlay and do NOT affect the creature's underlying variant.

Convert Command

Alex's Mobs creatures can be converted to their Alex's Tamables version using the convertalexsmobs command.  When an Alex's Mobs creature that has an Alex's Tamables equivalent is targeted with this command, it will be swapped to its Alex's Tamables version.

Taming Progress System

Alex's Tamables use a taming progress system for taming, where each feeding awards a random percentage of progress within a range.  This means that there is a finite number of feedings required for each creature, even with food items which award a low amount of taming progress.  Slightly friendlier than a pure RNG system!

Watch out, though-- taming progress slowly decays with time!  Walking away and leaving your partial tame unattended for too long might set you back.

You may include this mod in modpacks and show it in videos such as spotlights, let's plays, etc. Credit is appreciated, and shared modpacks should link back to at least one official download source if such a reference is not included automatically.

Reuploading or otherwise redistributing the mod through unofficial means is not permitted.

Credit & Disclaimer

Alex's Tamables is an unofficial addon, and has no actual affiliation with the Alex's Mobs team.  Most default textures and entity models, as well as some code snippets used to mirror 1:1 functionality to tamable variants, were originally created by (and thus belong to) the Alex's Mobs team.  This mod was designed to function alongside with and be used in addition to Alex's Mobs so as not to separate and redistribute these assets apart from their source material.  Newly added variant textures are my own.
