Animal Garden - Fennec Fox

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.
