Mooshroom's Mushroom replace

[heavy laurel]

So I am making a Warped Mooshroom variant with warped fungus on the back, yet the default red mushroom isn't being replaced? I don't really know why this is happening

[heavy laurel]

obviously i used the cem template, just weird that it still does this

i fixed this in a slightly complex way, so if anyone reads this:

in minecraft:assets/textures/entity/cow i put a blank image called red_mushroom.png which makes it so the default mooshroom mushrooms stop rendering, then I simple used the CEM template to generate/recreate the vanilla mooshroom model and put that in my cem folder

in summary, I made the default mooshroom mushrooms blank, and recreated them through my own file using EMF

alrigjt there are more problems with this, leaving it as simply mooshroom2.jem messes the brown mooshroom up entirely, so i tried changed all the references to making this a variant into red_mooshroom.png and now the mushrooms on its back dont render at all and the warped mooshroom variant does not work at all

[heavy laurel]

putting it in the entity folder rather than the cem folder just ignores the mushroom properties and makes it random while still making the mushrooms on the back not appear

what does this even mean
