Animal Garden - Bongo
Animal Garden - Bongo adds the bongo, a large forest antelope, as a mob players can tame, breed and keep in a fenced area.
What it does
Bongos are shy herbivores that eat grass and wheat, and they become active at night, resting in daylight. A bongo that is attacked may run away or fight back, and a calf that is attacked draws a reaction from the herd. The mob can be made to stay in one place by putting it into a resting mode, and killed bongos drop bones and leather.
The bongo spawns in Windswept Forests and Sparse Jungles. Its spawn settings, such as weight and minimum and maximum group size, can be changed through configuration files, data files, biome tags, biome modifiers and resource pack folders. The mod requires Aquarius Libs to run on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and it runs on the client and server together, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1 and the 26.x releases, including 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, and the latest builds for 26.3 were published on 2026-09-20. The code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Taming and breeding
Bongos can be tamed and bred with grass and wheat, and they respond to the player with a message when interacted with.
Nocturnal behavior
The bongo is active during the night, rests during the day and can be held in a resting mode in one spot.
Horn growth and drops
Horns grow longer over time after the bongo eats grass, and a longer horn increases its damage. Drops depend on horn length.
Milk and stripped logs
Bongos can be milked like cows, and occasionally they strip nearby logs of bark, leaving stripped logs behind.
