Creature Feature
by AtiredDev
Creature Feature adds 23 hostile creatures to the game, each with its own habitat, drops and attack pattern.
What it does
Most of the added creatures appear in particular biomes. Some spawn in warm regions such as savannas, others in deep caves, lush caves, dark forests, taigas or beaches, and a few stay in the outer End. Several drop items that match their habitat, such as mud in deep caves or moss in lush caves, and some carry poisonous attacks that cause delayed health loss alongside melee damage.
The creatures behave in distinct ways. One type shouts when it spots a player and then rushes toward them. Another stays hidden until it is hit or approached. Others circle a player, hover above the ground or charge the way an ordinary walking enemy would. One enormous zombie with an oversized brain grows angry after it takes a hit. A creature with segmented tails deals minimal damage to the tail segments while the body takes full damage. Some creatures split open when they take enough damage and release an enemy stored inside.
Creature Feature requires Blueprint. The mod is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1, and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Sable is an optional dependency. The code is under the MIT License and is open source, and the source code is publicly available.
