[1.12.2] Replace horse textures without resource pack

[Fusseel]

Hi,

 

As the title states I want to replace all horse textures but not with a resource pack. This is because there will be multiple horse textures available in the mod and the user can toggle in the config file which texture set shall be used. By using a resource pack only the single texture set within the pack would be used all of the time with no possibility of somehow changing/overwriting it with a config option.

 

I've already taken a look at "RenderHorse.java", but the textures aren't set in this file as usual, but within "EntityHorse.java" where the custom markings get applied before rendering.

 

So how can I change/overwrite the texture paths within "EntityHorse.java"? Or is there something Forge lets me do to replace these textures with an event or something?

 

I'd really love some help from you guys as I'm not able to come up with a solution.

 

Cheers!

You can create resource packs via code and apply it as needed.

Thanks for the response, I wasn't aware of this possibility, but it sounds really neat.

 

Where could I find some documentation on this? I've already taken a quick look around, but I haven't seen something like this anywhere.
