Animal Garden - Fennec Fox

by Aquarius.playz

Animal Garden - Fennec Fox adds a tameable fennec fox mob that players can feed, equip and assign to wander, follow or sleep near them.

What it does

The fox spawns in desert biomes and is nocturnal, so it sleeps for longer stretches during the day. Untamed foxes panic when hit and avoid nearby entities, except sleeping ones and crouching players. They lay down to rest now and then, and each sleep period restores one health after about ten seconds. Because the fox is omnivorous, a player tames it by offering a food item.

Once tamed, the fox takes items from the ground, bites them along with its equipped food, and eats while on the journey. Equipped items are taken back when the owner interacts with it while holding empty hands. Tamed foxes have three behaviors: wandering, which roams around a block the owner places, sleeping, which keeps the fox in place, and following, which keeps it close to its owner. Baby foxes follow their parent and do not attack, though they can still equip items.

The spawn logic checks the area around a spawn point for other mobs of the same type before a new one appears. The area size and the maximum count can be changed in the config, and an option prevents overspawning once the limit is reached. Spawn settings and biome tags can be changed through data files and resource packs, and the mod works with a Fabric config file on Fabric. The mod requires Aquarius Libs, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

Key features

  1. Taming with food

    Players tame a fennec fox by offering a food item, and the tamed fox then follows its owner's commands.

  2. Three behaviors

    Tamed foxes can wander around a placed block, sleep in one spot, or follow their owner.

  3. Items and hunting

    Tamed foxes carry equipped items and bite or eat food, while they avoid hunting rabbits and chickens.

  4. Spawn control

    A config option sets the check radius and maximum number of foxes near a spawn point, and can prevent overspawning.

What the author says

This mod adds the Fennec Fox as a mob to your world. You can find them in the desert biome. (In forge you can change this and other spawn settings by editing the json files in the data -> biome tags and biome modifier folders or via resource pack and in fabric there is a config file for it)
