Animal Garden - Vicuna
With Animal Garden - Vicuna, players get a shearable vicuña, a relative of the llama, that lives at higher altitudes than most grazers.
What it does
The vicuña is a herbivore that eats grass and wheat items, and it can be tamed and bred like other farm animals. It is diurnal, so it is active during daylight hours and rests at night. Once it has eaten grass, it can be sheared to restore its wool, and a dispenser can shear it too. A 50% chance drops yellow, orange or white wool, and a 100% chance drops brown wool when sheared. Animal Garden - Vicuna requires Aquarius Libs, which must be installed alongside it. Each herd has a leader: about 20% of spawns are male leaders, slightly larger than the others, and the rest of the group follows them. Vicuñas are timid and run from other creatures that come near.
Vicuñas spawn in higher-altitude places such as windswept biomes and stony peaks. Spawn settings can be changed with JSON data files, biome tags and biome modifier folders in a resource pack. On Fabric, some spawn settings such as weight and minimum and maximum group size can also be edited in the config file. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 17 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.3, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
