Resources Pack Pre1.21 mace and wind charges

Main Features

A special resource pack that enables players on clients before version 1.21 to see maces and wind charges when other users hold these items on 1.21 servers. If you have Entity Model Features mod version 1 or higher installed, llama spit is automatically replaced with the wind charge model.

Important advantage: the pack does not alter the original textures and models of the netherite axe and snowball, which are replaced in the standard manner via viabackwards.

Please note: functionality only works on those servers that transmit the corresponding information to the player's client.

Compatibility and Usage

The resource pack is compatible with all Minecraft versions before 1.21. A significant benefit of this solution is that it can work alongside most other packs for 1.21 that change mace and wind charge textures and models, provided this resource pack is loaded first.

If you need to change the mace texture, do this through the standard path: assets/minecraft/textures/item/mace.png. The same principle applies to custom models - place files in the appropriate Minecraft resource pack folders.

Technical implementation: the system uses NBT data of the netherite axe and snowball (which correspond to mace and wind charges respectively) together with a special viabackwards tag to redirect to the corresponding resources.

Requirements

Mandatory requirement is installation of CIT Resewn mod. For the llama spit to wind charge replacement function, Entity Model Features is additionally required.
