Animal Garden - Red Panda
Animal Garden - Red Panda adds tamable red pandas to the world, with several idle animations and two color variants.
What it does
Red pandas spawn naturally in jungle, sparse jungle and bamboo jungle biomes. Tamed pandas gain health, rising from 8 to 25, and a player can switch their behavior by clicking them with any item other than bamboo. The three behaviors are Wandering, Sitting and Following, in that order. When a panda is set to Following, it barks to signal that it is ready to walk alongside its owner.
The mod includes two variants: the default red panda and a slightly smaller Himalayan form with a different coloring. Baby pandas are a grayer shade. Tamed pandas can be bred or healed with bamboo, and their idle sounds come from Minecraft Dungeons. Spawn settings are adjustable: on Forge through the biome tag and biome modifier JSON files or a resource pack, and on Fabric through a config file. The mod requires Aquarius Libs on every loader, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3, under All rights reserved.
