ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Six new animals with their own behavior, movement and personality are added to the world. Items and blocks come alongside the mobs.

The mod requires Geckolib, which must be installed on the same loader. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod. Builds cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 on Forge and NeoForge, with 1.0.3 as the latest file for each, released 2026-09-07. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved. The author's public issue tracker is open for reports, and development ideas are shared with the community.

Key features

  1. Six unique mobs

    Six new mobs each carry special mechanics, so encounters differ from the animals already in the game.

  2. Natural world behavior

    The animals move and act with their own behavior and personality, fitting into the existing landscape.

  3. Items and blocks

    Besides the mobs, the mod adds a set of items and blocks for use in survival play.

  4. Vanilla-styled atmosphere

    The animals keep the tone and look of vanilla Minecraft, so the world feels more alive without a change in style.
