Animal Garden - Meerkat
Animal Garden - Meerkat adds tamable meerkats that fight and protect their owner, and it needs Aquarius Libs installed alongside it.
What it does
Meerkats appear in the savanna biome and can be tamed. Tamed meerkats follow their owner, attack threats nearby, and breed when given a food item. They are omnivores and eat most foods, while players can lure them close with food. Spawn settings can be changed through JSON data files, biome tags, and biome modifier folders in a resource pack. Aquarius Libs is required on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it. Files cover 1.20.1 – 26.3 and are released under All rights reserved.
