Creatures²
Creatures² adds a set of new animals to Forge worlds for Minecraft 1.20.1, from a herbivore that eats apples to an ant colony that lives inside logs.
What it does
Seven new mobs appear in biomes such as jungles, dark forests and warm oceans, each with a vanilla-style model and texture. Some of them bring new items and mechanics. The Tapir is one of the largest land mammals in South America in the mod's design, breeds with apples and has adult variants. It is found in jungles, more commonly in sparse jungles than in dense ones.
The Collared Anteater roams dark forests and turns hostile when attacked, dealing heavy damage with its claws, while a player who flees may escape. It can be tamed with spider eyes and then given dirt to receive loot, including an Ant Egg, which is its rarest drop. Ants come from Infested Oak Logs in fallen log form, and breaking one can make Carpenter Ants swarm out. Ant Queens appear with a small chance when a block is broken and drop Ant Eggs when killed. Hatched ants are peaceful toward players, can be tamed with water, and attack anything that attacks their owner.
The Trout and Seahorse are fish, and the Ocean Sunfish is a gentle giant of the oceans. Trout swim in rivers and drop themselves when bucketed, though the item cannot be cooked or sold to fisherman villagers, despite its high value. Pregnant seahorses can be sheared for eggs, which are placed on the ground to spawn 1 to 3 seahorses. Ocean Sunfish breed with kelp and their eggs spawn 2 to 5 baby sunfish. Creatures² is a Forge mod and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.20.1 only, and the license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
