What it does

Carl is a simple duck mob themed on Carl Space Duck and the channel of DejojoTheAwsome. The mob spawns naturally only when Glacio Ad Astra is installed, and a small duck can also turn up in Snow Igloo chests. Players can also reach it through the creative menu. Geckolib is required, and the mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it. Files cover 1.19 – 1.21.4 on Forge and NeoForge, with 1.9.1-quackiness for 1.21.1 as the latest NeoForge build and 1.8.5-1.20.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest Forge build. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
