Variety

Variants-CIT

# Variants-CIT
An alternative CIT format designed to handle large amounts of variants.

This mod excels in scenarios where one item has many variants all based on the same pieces of data. It yields better performances when extreme amounts of CITs are available, and uses a resource format that is less redundant, requiring only one short file to configure all possible variants of an item at once.

Assigning models on a case-by-case basis (similar to how Optifine-CIT handles it) is still possible, but does not boast the same performances.

## Resource Pack Format
This is a quick showcase. Refer to [**The Wiki**](https://github.com/Estecka/mc-Variants-CIT/wiki) for a complete guide.

The format revolves around item variants being automatically associated to models or textures with matching names.
Instead of defining separate conditions for every variants, you define a single rule that governs all variants in a collection, (so-called **modules**). This module defines what item is affected, how to figure out its variants, and where the variant models are located.

### Fully automatic variants-to-model association
Here’s a simple module that would change the texture of enchanted books :
“`jsonc
{
“items”: “enchanted_book”, // The affected item type(s)

“modelPrefix”: “book_cit/”, // The folder containing the possible models/textures.
“assetGen”: “item_model/generated”, // Auto-generate models from textures (if missing)

“type”: “stored_entchantment”, // How to compute the item’s “variant ID”
“parameters”: { // Extra options specific to the module’s type
“levelSeparator”: “_lvl_” // Include enchantment level in the variant ID
}
}
“`
Here, a book with the enchantment `minecraft:unbreaking` at level 2 will have the variant ID `minecraft:unbreaking_lvl_2`, and thus use the texture stored at `/assets/minecraft/textures/item/book_cit/unbreaking_lvl_2.png`.
This single module will work for every possible enchantment, vanilla or modded, so long as a corresponding texture exists.

### Automatic variants based on custom data
The module above has a purpose-made type for enchanted books. If no type exists for a specific use-case, you can still use more generic modules to get a variant from any component:

“`jsonc
{
“items”: “minecraft:suspicious_stew”,
“modelPrefix”: “item/suspicious_stew_cit/”,
“assetGen”: “item_model/generated”,

“type”: “component_data”,
“parameters”: {
“componentType”: “suspicious_stew_effects”, // The component containing the variant ID
“nbtPath”: “[0].id” // The location of the variant ID in the component.
}
}
“`
#### Processing data that can’t be used as-is:
“`jsonc
{
“items”: “diamond_sword”,

“modelPrefix”: “item/named_swords/”,
“assetGen”: “item_model/handheld”,

“type”: “component_data”,
“parameters”:
{
“componentType”: “custom_name”,
“transform”: [
{
“function”: “regex”,
// Pattern matching,..
“regex”: “(?i)(.*’s )?(Great |Grand )?(?.*(sword|dagger))( of doom)?”,
// … and preserve only a portion of the name.
“substitution”: “$var”
// (E.g: “steev18’s great Steel Sword” => “Steel Sword”)
}
{
// Turns any text into a valid identifier
“function”: “sanitize”
// (E.g: “Steel Sword” => “minecraft:steel_sword”)
}
]
}
}
“`

#### Combining multiple pieces of data from different sources:
“`jsonc
{
“items”: “minecraft:diamond_sword”,
“modelPrefix”: “item/trimmed_diamond_sword/”,
“assetGen”: “item_model/handheld”,

“type”: “component_format”,
“parameters”:
{
// How to combine various pieces of data into a variant ID
// (E.g: sentry_diamond)
“format”: “${pattern}_${material}”,
// Where to find those pieces of data.
“variables”: {
“pattern”: {
“componentType”: “trim”,
“nbtPath”: “.pattern”
},
“material”: {
“componentType”: “trim”,
“nbtPath”: “.material”,
“transform”: “discard_namespace”
}
}
}
}
“`

### Case-by-case variants
For systems that don’t really follow any rules, (or if you have too few variants to care about automatism), you can use a format closer to Optifine-CIT’s paradigms:
“`jsonc
{
“items”: “trident”,
“modelPrefix”: “item/godly_tridents/”,
“assetGen”: “item_model/trident”,

“type”: “predicates”,
“parameters”: {
“predicates”:
[
{
“variantId”: “zeus_smite”,
“precondition”: {
“enchantments.channeling”: { “greater_or_equals”: 1 }
}
},
{
“variantId”: “jupiter_syphon”,
“precondition”: {
“enchantments.riptide”: { “greater_or_equals”: 1 }
}
}
// etc
]
}
}
“`

VO: Better Dogs

# 🐕 Better Dogs

**No Backports:** This mod targets **Minecraft 26.1+**. Older versions are unsupported.

> **Make Wolves Worthy Companions. Smarter, Safer, Livelier.**

Every Minecraft player knows the pain: you spend hours finding a wolf, tame it, and five minutes later it jumps into lava or walks off a cliff. **Better Dogs** overhauls wolf AI to make them effective partners. Powered by a high-performance **Event-Driven AI Scheduler**, they act efficiently without sacrificing performance.

Part of the **Vanilla Outsider Collection** — mods that refine the vanilla experience with modern standards.

—

## ✨ Features

### 🧠 Personality Intelligence
When tamed, wolves develop one of three permanent personalities, visible via custom particles:

– 💢 **Aggressive**: The Guardian. Proactively attacks hostile mobs and scouts ahead.
– ❤️ **Pacifist**: The Healer. Avoids combat unless you are hurt. High health, low damage.
– ✨ **Normal**: The Classic. Balanced stats and standard vanilla-plus behavior.

### 🤝 Advanced Social AI
– **Social Bonding (Affinity)**: Dogs form relationships within their pack. Socializing builds trust and reduces accidental infighting.
– **Adult Correction**: Aggressive adults discipline misbehaving puppies, preventing death loops.
– **Pack Genetics**: Puppies inherit personality traits and stats from their parents.

### 🛡️ Smart Survival AI
– **Cliff Safety**: Wolves detect fatal drops and airborne targets, stopping dangerous chases.
– **Hazard Awareness**: Improved pathfinding around lava, fire, and drowning hazards.
– **Creeper Awareness**: Wolves flee from hissing Creepers!

### 📡 Behavioral Specialization
– **Scouting**: Aggressive dogs proactively range ahead to clear your path.
– **Silent Alarm**: Pacifist dogs emit a high-pitched whine when they detect nearby monsters.
– **Gift System**: Loyal dogs bring you treasures based on their personality.
– **Debug Tools**: Use `/betterdogs debug territory` to test pack interactions.

### 🏰 Wild Wolf Territoriality
Wild wolf packs are now dynamic, territorial entities led by a dominant leader:
– **Territorial Disputes (The Handshake)**: When rival packs meet, leaders negotiate. If both want war, they engage in a **Territorial War**. If only one wants war, the other may **Yield & Merge** immediately or retreat based on a configurable chance.
– **1v1 Leader Duels**: During a war, rival leaders engage in a cinematic 1v1 duel to settle dominance, while pack members participate in a secondary brawl.
– **Yield & Merge**: Defeated packs are not lost; they yield and **merge** with the winning pack, allowing for the natural formation of massive wolf colonies.
– **Wild Personality AI (New Default)**: Out of the box, wild pack members exhibit unique behaviors (like Aggressive hunting or Pack Retreats) while anchored to their leader.
– **Performance Hardened**: All AI logic is performance-optimized using **DasikLibrary 1.7.0**, ensuring zero console spam and smooth server TPS even with massive packs.

## ⚙️ Configuration (Native Game Rules)

No messy config files. Better Dogs uses the **Native Minecraft Game Rules** system. All 40+ mod parameters are grouped into a dedicated **”Better Dogs”** category in the official UI.

Vanilla Food Hunger Bar HUD Hotbar

Reverts the HUD Food/Hunger Icons to the default, vanilla ones when put above other Resourcepacks. Useful for overriding the textures when using other resource packs that might make them look worse.

Now with [Appleskin](https://modrinth.com/mod/appleskin/versions) and [Farmer’s Delight](https://modrinth.com/mod/farmers-delight) COMPATS!


I mainly made this to revert these food/hunger textures from [Unique Dark](https://modrinth.com/resourcepack/unique-dark):
