Tails 2.0

Tails 2.0 rebuild for Fabric 1.20.1 delivers a modernized, cosmetic-only suite of animated parts with a built-in editor.

• Access: a “Cosmetics” button appears in the pause menu; the default hotkey K hides or shows all cosmetics at once.
• Parts: tails, ears, snouts, horns, wings, and fluff; per-part toggles, size/length sliders, motion intensity, and two-color gradients with selectable direction.
• Presets & saves: eight shipped presets (fox, wolf, cat, dragon, snow fox, lynx, night dragon, pastel spirit) plus five personal save slots. Presets start gentle and optional parts stay off unless chosen.
• Profiles: stored per-player in the Tails 2.0 config folder; new players start with everything hidden. Save slots are separate from the active look and can be loaded or overwritten from the editor.
• Sharing: cosmetic sharing is on by default when a server also runs the mod; clients can opt out or hide locally. Players without the mod simply see vanilla skins.
• Editor: vanilla-styled screen with RGB/hex fields, gradient direction chooser, motion/size sliders, per-part enable/disable, share toggle, hide toggle, presets, and save/load buttons. Changes apply immediately.
• Rendering & animation: lightweight sway/twitch scaffolding with gentle motion scaling to player speed; HUD reminder appears when cosmetics are hidden. Models are intentionally attached without replacing the player model to stay armor-friendly.

Known limitations / next steps

• Current renderer is a lightweight placeholder; drop-in mesh/texture layers can be added to the render manager to show full 3D parts.
• Server sync stores uploaded profiles but does not yet rebroadcast them to other clients; enable when a server feature renderer is added.
• No baked skin export is wired yet; the UI flow is ready for it to be plugged in.
