I want to make it so my model will have an alternate texture with #texture, basically.

I am pretty sure this is only done with alternate meshes. For example, different chest, head, etc..

That doesn't matter, honestly. Is it possible to create an alternate one?

edit,
IE, add a new one entirely

You have to use S3Dspy and find , then extract the texture you want to change and then once you change it use S3Dspy to add that texture back into the client with the same name in the same place you found it. And no matter how many textures you change only you will be able to see it in game unless you give someone else the file you changed to use in their client.

You are talking about a mob or character model right?

[Sakrateri]

you can use it for anything.. mob, character, buildings, items, whatever you desire to change the texture of.

Alright, now that I know that's possible, can I do it without overwriting anything?
