Animal Garden - Mouse
Animal Garden - Mouse adds tamable mice that players can breed, feed and keep as companions, and that defend their owner in fights.
What it does
Mice spawn naturally in the forest, desert and badlands biomes by default. Alpha mice appear with a 10% chance among them, and they are larger and stronger than the regular ones. Spawn settings can be changed by editing JSON files, and biome tags or biome modifier folders can be supplied through a resource pack.
Tamed mice take food from the player, and a tame pair can breed when fed the right item. A mouse that eats rotten flesh gains an attack that poisons its target for 15 seconds, and the buff lasts 15 minutes. Sometimes a mouse begs for food, which makes the companion mechanic more hands-on.
The mod requires Aquarius Libs on every loader. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3. Files are built for client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source and is distributed under All rights reserved.
