Animal Garden - Yellow Mongoose
Yellow Mongoose adds a small, agile carnivore that lives in Savanna biomes and acts more like an omnivore, eating almost anything it finds.
What it does
Yellow Mongoose adds a tamable mob to the Savanna. It is classified as an opportunistic carnivore, so it eats many kinds of food and can be bred, tamed and healed with a food item. Being diurnal, it stays active during daylight and rests at night. Wild mongooses flee from most nearby creatures, except when they are provoked or when they face babies or smaller mobs.
Tamed mongooses stay near their owner, attack non-flying arthropods with extra damage and keep watch over the base at night, targeting spiders. A tamed mongoose screams to warn its owner when danger is close. The mod is immune to poison damage. Players can make a mongoose stay in place with a resting mode. Mongooses occasionally dig items out of the ground every 5 to 10 minutes.
Spawns on Savanna biomes can be changed with JSON data files, biome tags and biome modifier folders through a resource pack. Some spawn settings, such as weight and minimum and maximum group size, can be edited in a Fabric config file. Aquarius Libs must be installed alongside the mod. The mod is released under All rights reserved, and it is not open source.
