How do you make it so that when you name a mob specifically, it changes it's texture?

I want to make a mob that changes texture when you name it like _jeb and Dinnerbone

As far as I know that's possible with Optifine but it must be possible without it because it has been done with this mod:

However that mod wasn't made in Mcreator

Yes, it is possible. You can do it in the renderer function;

MobRenderer::getEntityTexture

Do something like;

    @Override
    public ResourceLocation getEntityTexture(CoolEntity entity) {
        entity.getDisplayName();
        if (entity.getDisplayName().getString().equalsIgnoreCase("COOL")) {
            return SUPERTEXTURE;
        }
        return NOTSUPERTEXTURE;
    }

Keep in mind, SUPERTEXTURE and NOTSUPERTEXTURE represent ResourceLocation variables.

I am not sure if this is possible without coding.
