by Aquarius.playz

Animal Garden - Sea Otter adds tamable sea otters to the ocean biomes, and tamed otters will fight alongside their owner when needed.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 26.3

What it does

Sea otters spawn in the ocean and cold ocean biomes. Players can win them over, lure them and breed them using any fish item, and the food list can be changed through an item tag file. After taming, an otter can wander freely without following its owner, or sit and wait until it is attacked or given another command. Otters move slowly on land, so they suit water better than dry ground.

When an otter is damaged, nearby kin come to protect it. An otter with missing health will go and eat a fish item or a fish mob close by to recover a little. Some otters attack fish even at full health. Otters travel in groups, where one nearby otter is picked as leader and the others follow it. Baby otters follow only their parent and stay attached to it.

Adult coats come in four variants, with brown bodies and white heads as the default. A rare albino variant with pink eyes and a white coat is possible, and some otters spawn with leucism, which gives a white coat alone. Animal Garden - Sea Otter needs Aquarius Libs to be installed. The environment is client and server, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3. The code is not open source and carries the All rights reserved license.

Key features

  1. Taming with fish

    Any fish item can tame, tempt or breed a sea otter, and the item list is editable through a data tag file.

  2. Three behavior modes

    Tamed otters can wander, sit and wait, or fight, and the mode can be changed with commands after taming.

  3. Group movement

    Wild otters form groups with a selected leader, and baby otters follow their parent closely.

  4. Coat variants

    Otters have four adult colors plus a rare albino form and a leucistic form that appears as a white coat.

  5. Spawn control

    A nearby-mob check and a configurable maximum limit how many otters spawn in one area.
