Alternate Drowned outer layers don't seem to translate to drowned babies

[blissful sleet]

See title. Alternate Drowned models do not carry over for babies

(this custom outer layer model is for an Alex model, which naturally has a 3 block wide hand necessitating a new, slightly altered model)

[chilly raptor]

they have their own model yes? and .properties for the outerlayer?

copy both the alex and steve drowned models and make duplicates but have drowned_baby_outer instead of just drowned_outer, and duplicate the .properties to be drowned_baby_outer.properties

something like this

baby drowned have their own models now so there are drowned_baby and drowned_baby_outer models (since 1.21.2 I think) and zombies and husks

whenever I do that they seem to stretch out. I don't know if there's any template models for babies, let alone FA compatible ones.

but even so, the drowned outer layer should still work, much like the main drowned model

I can make alt drowned models, and the babies inherit them just fine. it's only the outer model that does not

Ok, turns out I was wrong. Perhaps it's because the new old version has more compatible models.
