1.19.0 - 23th February 2026 First update of 2026.

Dog Walk Animation overhaul!

• Dogs now have not just a dedicated walk animation, but also a galloping animation.

• When the dog's speed goes above a threshold for a certain amount of time, the walk animation smoothly transitions into the galloping animation.

• The animation transition from between Standby, Walk, and Run is smoothed out to ensure minimal stuttering.

• Centrifugal Banking: When galloping and taking a sharp turn, the dog will naturally lean and bank with inertia. The more aggressively they turn, the deeper the lean! ======= DogAnimations is now Data-Driven

• Implemented Dedicated animation format

• Created Blockbench plugin for exporting/importing.

• DTN now loads animation from resource.

• This allows modification of the animation via resourcepacks. ======= DogModels is now Data-Driven!

• Implemented Dedicated model format

• Created Blockbench plugin for exporting/importing.

• DTN now also loads its model from resource.

• A dedicated mod is no longer required for addons that provide custom models.

• Any DTN addons with custom models can now be implemented with a resource pack. They will be automatically compatible with every Minecraft version as long as DTN (1.19.0+) supports it. =======

Properly implement a datapack based Serverside DogSkin BlackList/WhiteList config system.

• To configure, first create a datapack for the target MC version (or use an existing one).
• Then create this file (in the exact directory relative to the datapack root directory): data/doggytalents/doggytalents/allowed_skin/allowed_skin.json
• In the file, specify the json in this format

{
  "strategy": "<*1>",
  "skins_hashes": [
    "<hash_1>",
    "<hash_2>",
    ...
    "<hash_n>"
  ]
}

*1: either allow_except (allow all skin except the specified skins) or disallow_except (disallow all skin except the specified skins).

hash_1, hash_2,...hash_n: The skins you want to blacklist/whitelist. The skin's texture's Hash Value is required to be the entry for this list, they can be obtained via the Show Info page of Style > Skins at the Dog GUI.

Ensure no duplications in Random Name List.

• Fix wierd dog inventory behaviour when user clicks on the dog inventory button located in their inventory while carrying a stack in their cursor, resulting in the stack temporarily vanishing clientside.
