Solved Loading Different Mob Textures

I would like to know if there is a way to load different mob textures onto existing mobs. I know that you can install a texture pack that has multiple textures for different mobs, so like 5 different zombie textures that get assigned randomly when spawned. So I was wondering if I could do the same but through a plugin. I get that the player would need these textures installed on the client side, but if they did would it be at all possible?

 

My guess would be no, it's not possible. However, a texture pack would work perfectly and saves a lot of time if that method is actually possible.
(Correct me if I'm wrong)

 

Yeah, had a feeling it wouldn't. I will wait and see if anyone has any ideas.

 

@WillR27 It's not possible, or at least it's not possible using only the Bukkit API, it requires a client side mod to apply the texture.

 

Alright, thanks for letting me know, just wanted to be sure before I scrapped the idea altogether.
