[FABRIC] Capybara
by TemmieChan
Capybara, a Fabric mod by TemmieChan, adds capybara mobs that players can tame with melon slices or carrots in jungle and mangrove biomes.
What it does
The mod adds a new structure to the world and a passive capybara mob that spawns in jungle and mangrove biomes. A player tames a capybara by offering it melon slices or carrots, after which the animal stays with its owner. A new staff item is included for commanding a tamed capybara to sit.
Mangrove ruins are added as a second structure type. They appear in mangrove biomes and hold loot the author describes as valuable. The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Files are published for Fabric only, with the latest build, 1.5.0, targeting 1.21.6. The catalog lists release versions 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.5 and 1.21.6 with files.
