What it does

The mod is an animal and nature overhaul. It adds new creatures that spawn and behave like the vanilla mobs, and several of them leave food, skins or hoods that players can use for crafting. Its content centers on the peccary, and the author lists the creatures and peccary content in separate pages.

Bio Critters runs on Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1. Both the client and the server need the mod installed, since the creatures and items must match on each side. The alpha 1.0.0 file was published on 2025-06-29, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Animal and nature overhaul

    New creatures are added to the world as part of a broader overhaul of animals and nature in the game.

  2. Rotten Apple

    A rotten apple item is included among the new food and drops for players to find or craft with.

  3. Peccary skin and hood

    Peccary skin and a peccary hood are items that come from the new peccary creature.

  4. Vanilla-style creatures

    The added creatures use vanilla mob mechanics, so they behave like the creatures already in the game.
