It still works without the datapack, but key elements such as recipes, mob attributes, etc. will be missing._<\/p>\n<p>_This resource pack also requires either the matching version of OptiFine if you are using CurseForge, or Entity Model Features if you use Fabric or Quilt. One of these mods is required for my resource pack to change the models of entities so you will need one of these installed for the pack to work._<\/p>\n<p>All content and textures for the current version are made by myself, with input and feedback from Pheonix and Dewlan.
