Variants and VenturesBiome variants of vanilla mobs — desert chickens, snow pigs, jungle cows
About
Vanilla mobs get biome-specific colour/breed variants. Desert Chicken, Highland Cow, Pig, Sheep, Horse, all themed to biomes they spawn in. Pure visual variety — same drops, same breeding mechanics — but exploring different biomes feels visually more varied.
