Animal Garden - Crocodile
Animal Garden - Crocodile adds a swamp predator that roams land and water and can attack creatures that come too close.
What it does
Crocodiles make swamp areas more dangerous. Each one chooses at random whether to stay on land or in water, and comes in nine color variants. A crocodile that feels threatened will move toward the source and attack, opening its mouth for a few seconds first to signal the strike. Crocodiles can be bred with meat or fish items, which are set through a custom item tag JSON file, and they can rest on land for a short time.
Crocodiles can be fed to restore lost health, and resting or staying in water also restores a little health. Some behaviors and spawn settings can be changed by editing JSON files, biome tag and biome modifier folders in a resource pack, or the config file for weight and minimum and maximum group size. The mod requires Aquarius Libs, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, and the code is all rights reserved, not open source.
