FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.18 – 1.19.3

What it does

The mod adds catnip and catnip bushes. Feeding catnip to cats and ocelots makes them run faster and eat catnip bushes, while feeding it to creepers makes them flee from players, though they still explode. Composters accept catnip, and bees pollinate catnip bushes in the same way they pollinate sweet berry bushes.

Cat ears are added as a new 3D model in 17 colour variants. A carved cat pumpkin can be crafted from a carved pumpkin surrounded by eight catnip, and a cat O'Lantern recipe and a carved cat pumpkin combined with a torch are included. An option lets cats spawn outside villages. The mod needs Fabric API and bundles MidnightLib. It is released under the MIT License and is open source; the source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.

Key features

  1. Catnip and catnip bushes

    Catnip grows in bushes and serves as food for cats, ocelots and creepers, with each mob reacting differently.

  2. Cat ears model

    A new 3D cat ear model comes in 17 colour variants for players who want to dress up their characters.

  3. Carved cat pumpkins

    Recipes turn a carved pumpkin surrounded by catnip into a cat pumpkin, and a cat O'Lantern can be made with a torch.

  4. Spawn outside villages

    A configuration option allows cats to spawn outside villages, so they appear in more places in the world.
