For Developers:

If you'd like to add new mob variants, you can add them through a datapack under data/yourmodid/nomansland/mob_variants/variant_type/variant.json variant_type being one of the above. Currently, you cannot add new variant types.

Most variant json files are structured like this:

{
  "texture": "yourmodid:entity/mob_variants/variant", // The texture the mob will use, multiple textures are needed for some mobs
  "weight": 1, // The weighted value of the mob variant if in a matching biome
  "biomes": "#yourmodid:entity/biome_tag" // An optional holder set of biomes, the mob variant will be weighted in every biome if not present
}

However, this varies from type to type according to what textures are needed, refer to the source code for examples.
