Description
Transparent allows resource packs to give certain entities textures with transparent (or translucent) pixels. To use, simply install the mod and use or create a resource pack that gives one of the supported entities a transparent texture.

Resource pack used in the above image: [BwW Texturepack](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/texture-packs/bww-texturepack).
Officially supports [Paintings++ Mod](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/paintings)!
