Carnivorous Plant
by ThirtyFangs
Carnivorous Plant adds a forest mob that stays rooted in one place, attacks nearby players with poison, and is removed when it is killed.
What it does
The plant spawns in forests and cannot move. It deals damage and applies poison to players within reach. Once killed it despawns, and it rarely drops anything; the item it sometimes leaves behind comes from whatever creature it consumed most recently nearby.
The mob uses a custom 3D model and a custom texture animation. The author lists a server-side resource pack as required, and players need the matching custom texture animation resource pack for the model to appear as intended. Mob spawning must be enabled in the world for the plant to generate.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for 17 release versions 1.21 – 26.3, including snapshot builds. The latest files for every loader are 1.2+mod for 26.3, released 2026-09-05. The server must run it, while players may leave it out.
Key features
Forest spawning
The carnivorous plant generates naturally in forest biomes once mob spawning is enabled.
Rooted movement
The plant cannot move, so players must approach it on their own terms to be attacked.
Poison attacks
Each hit deals damage and can apply poison to the player it strikes.
Meat-based drops
Drops are rare, and the meat that can appear is taken from whatever mob the plant last consumed nearby.
Custom 3D model
The plant is rendered from a custom 3D model with its own texture animation.
