Tag (or some other way) to tell if a head of a vanilla mob is pre-JAPPA

[EvModder]

The https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Texture_Update was released in 1.14 a few years ago, which changed the textures of these mobs:

Code: Select all

Chicken,Cow,Pig,Sheep,Bat,Mooshroom,Ocelot,Cat,Horse,Skeleton Horse,Zombie Horse,Donkey,Mule,
Rabbit,Squid,Iron Golem,Llama,Polar Bear,Snow Golem,Wolf,Zombie Pigman,Zombie,Husk,Skeleton,Stray,
Spider,Cave Spider,Witch,Slime,Magma Cube,Wither Skeleton,Ghast,Blaze,Guardian,Elder Guardian,
Evoker,Vindicator,Illusioner,Vex,Wither

Some of these heads are updated on the website, for example:
Pre-JAPPA cave spider (1.13): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... ave-spider
JAPPA cave spider (1.14+): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... ave-spider

It might be nice if there is a tag or way to identify which is new vs old on the head's page

PS: I also noticed we don't have updated heads for all of the changed textures yet, I can help submit them. Some of the skin changes are VERY minor so they might look like a doublette.

Hi EvModder,

basically a nice idea, but I'm a bit worried about the tagging itsself...

I never really cared about those minor changes and so will not be able to recognize them. Not sure for Kiaria.

We might need input in order to deliver a useful list of heads for this new tag then.

[EvModder]

Here are the heads that have both old and new (1.14+) textures on the website currently:
Blaze (old): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... /322-blaze
Blaze (new): *pending submission*
CaveSpider (old): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... ave-spider
CaveSpider (new): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... ave-spider
Cow (old): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... ls/335-cow
Cow (new): *pending submission*
Husk (old): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... /3245-husk
Husk (new): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... 37860-husk
PigZombie (old): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... bie-pigman
PigZombie (new): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... bie-pigman
PolarBear (old): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... polar-bear
PolarBear (new): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... polar-bear
Skeleton (old): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... 8-skeleton
Skeleton (new): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... 2-skeleton
Snow Golem (old): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... snow-golem
Snow Golem (new): *pending submission*
Spider (old): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... 317-spider
Spider (new): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... 010-spider
Stray (old): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... 3244-stray
Stray (new): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... 2401-stray *Note: it still doesn't quite match the in-game texture
Vex (old): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... d/3080-vex
Vex (new): *pending submission*
Wither (old): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... 320-wither
Wither (new): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... 399-wither
WitherSkeleton (old): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... r-skeleton
WitherSkeleton (new): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... r-skeleton
Zombie (old): https://minecraft-heads.com/custom-head ... 187-zombie
Zombie (new): *pending submission*

These are all the ones I was able to find which have BOTH textures before and after the update. Other mobs usual have just the old texture (if it was uploaded to the site before 1.14) or just the new texture.

Some differences are easier to see than others, like skeleton

Here is an image of the difference for blaze (right now website only has the old texture):

I had another look at this tag suggestion and struggle a bit with a good solution (in other words: I dont have one yet):

If we start to tag the version of the texture, we should care about all changes and not the mobs from one update.

However, if we have something like "Former Textures", you cannot filter for the actual ones.
Having all actual ones in one tag might be a bit to much on the other hand.

Also "Former Textures" don't allow to filter more detailed, like the Jappa Update or the last update of the textures.

I also don't have an good overview about the texture changes. Sure the link you gave me is fine for the Jappa update, but what about other changes...

If you have some good ideas, you're welcome to share them here ^^

Right now I'm not sure about a good solution.
