Animal Garden - Capybara

Wild capybaras spawn in swamp, savanna and jungle biomes. Their activity is mostly crepuscular, so they rest in short stretches through the day, and they cool down in water during daylight since they are strong swimmers. Tamed capybaras are fed with vegetables and fruit, and they eat melons and pumpkins by walking up to them and leaving the rinds behind. Females are a little larger than males, so breeding needs one of each.

Tamed capybaras follow their owner and will not fight enemies unless they are needed to protect the owner, when they redirect targeting onto themselves. A capybara that is attacked warns nearby capybaras, which run away from the attacker, and a pup that is attacked can make nearby females aggressive toward the attacker. Tamed capybaras stay in place when set to rest, and they can team up with Common Raccoons on farms. The mod requires Aquarius Libs. It runs on the client and the server, so both need it. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Spawn settings such as weight and minimum and maximum group size can be changed in the config file on Fabric, and other spawn settings can be edited through JSON files, biome tags and biome modifier folders in a resource pack. Unified versions of Animal Garden are planned for later, and the code is being reworked to support only the latest Minecraft version.
