Frequently Asked Questions
This section has drop-downs for FAQs and expanded information about Community Pack Coats.
If your question is not answered here, check out General Information.
Features
⮞ CAN COMMUNITY PACKS ADD NEW FOAL VARIANTS?
No. The current system allows for 1 foal per color tag; support for additional foals will require an expanded breeding system.
⮞ CAN COMMUNITY PACKS MODIFY DEFAULT SWEM COATS?
No. Information such as obtainable by breeding, color tags, lapis cycling is hard coded for default coats (included in SWEM).
You can use a resource pack to override any coat texture if you want to replace it.
⮞ CAN COMMUNITY PACKS ADD NEW MODELS?
No. It should continue to work with resource packs that override the SWEM model.
This feature will support the new Destrier model (and any others) when it is released in future.
⮞ CAN CUSTOM COATS APPEAR NATURALLY ON HORSES?
Yes. If the coat information (json) file allows breeding and cycling, it can occur when a horse is summoned or converted.
⮞ CAN CUSTOM COATS NATURALLY SPAWN?
No. Neither default nor custom coats naturally spawn in the wild (replace MC horses) unless you use a custom datapack.
This update has been modified to continue support for Ace's Datapack found found HERE in our Discord.
⮞ CAN CUSTOM COATS SUPPORT LAPIS / REDSTONE CYCLING?
Yes. This must be set to true for for lapis_cycling in the coat json file, and and allowCoatCycling in the server config file.
⮞ CAN CUSTOM COATS APPEAR FROM BREEDING DEFAULT +/- CUSTOM COATS?
Yes. This must be set to true for for obtainable_by_breeding in the coat json file. You must set at least one one base_colors tag - this will determine which color tags your horse can pass on if bred, as well as which foal color(s) can grow up into this coat.
⮞ CAN I MAKE A CUSTOM COAT 'SECRET'?
Yes, but not in the same way as special default coats. You can set lapis_cycling and obtainable_by_breeding to false in the coat json file, which will prevent cycling and appearance by breeding or converting. The coat will only appear if summoned via command. If you have the right kind of knowledge, you could probably create a custom datapack or redstone system loop to check for and convert horses that meet 'secret coat criteria' (ie height and name), or other crafty ways to achieve this result.
