Frequently asked questions

Do I need OptiFine for this pack to work?
Yes, OptiFine is required because the pack uses Custom Entity Models (CEM) to display the 3D details on animals. Without OptiFine, you'll see the default Minecraft mobs instead of the enhanced versions.
Why can't I see the animal details even with OptiFine installed?
Make sure the resource pack is enabled in your world settings and ranked above any conflicting packs in your load order. Also verify that OptiFine's Custom Entity Models setting is turned on in Video Settings > Quality.
Will this pack work with my other resource packs?
It can work alongside other packs, but place Better Vanilla Animals higher in your resource pack list if you want its animal models to take priority. If another pack also modifies animals, there may be conflicts or one will override the other.
Does this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The pack is designed to be lightweight and shouldn't cause noticeable lag even on lower-end systems. If you experience performance drops, try disabling other resource packs or lowering your render distance.
