Turning into a Protogen (and back into a human)
Unlike Minecraft, this mod allows you to switch your skin in-game through our config screen. If you view your options screen, you'll see a little button next to your mods button:

Click it to open the config menu, where you can access a variety of options, including toggling off your protogen.

Making your Own Protogen
By default, the skin of my own fursona, Ice, is coded into the mod. You can override this easily.
In order to do this, you can download the file protogen.bbmodel on my GitHub. From there, use Blockbench to re-color the protogen. The web app will work as well!
All of the modeling (so the shapes and objects that make up the protogen) are done for you, all you need to do is color it. An example protogen (the default one used in the mod) is available for download right here.

Once you have your texture, save it somewhere on your computer. Open up the config screen and click 'Open Protogen Resources.' Paste your texture there and rename it to 'protogen.png', and you should be good to go! Reload your resources.
Make sure that .png is the file extension and not part of the file's name.
Works on ANY server!

Only you will be a protogen when interacting with others. We hope to make this toggleable in the future.
Restrictions
- Your armor will not show up in the third person.
- Your items will not show up in the third person.
- Your hand in first person will still be the same as your default Minecraft skin.
Credits
- Thank you to Endles13 on Sketchfab for the original model, which this is based off of! (I had to manually transform it myself, but a lot of the cubes were just copy/pased.)
- Thank you to MemberCat Studios for open-sourcing the code of their ModelShifter mod! I never would have figured out how to change the model of the player without them.
Requirements
On Fabric, this mod requires the Fabric API, Mod Menu, and Geckolib. On Neoforge, this mod requires Geckolib.
