Skins and Models

Terminator now has different skins!

Christmas skins only display in Minecraft from December 1st to December 25th. The add-on will change their skin back to normal afterwards.

This feature includes the introduction of skin models:

Differences

The difference here are the steve's model arm's are 4 pixels wide and the alex's model arm's are 3 pixels wide, like what you see when choosing your own custom skin.

Players may not like the Minecraft skins Terminator entity wears. Currently the only way to change its textures is to modify the resource pack files.

2. In the extracted folder, navigate to resource_pack/textures/entity folder, where you would see a bunch of image files.
3. Modify the steve.png or the alex.png file

5. Run /function terminator command to bring the 'Spawn Terminator' form
6. In the Skin Model dropdown, select either 'Custom (Steve Model)' or 'Custom (Alex Model)'

Capes

Terminator can now equip all the capes obtainable in Bedrock Edition, and Migrator cape as a bonus. When they equip the cape it also change the appearance of a worn elytra. Capes are purely decorational, and do not alter the wearers' capabilities in any way.
