What it does

The mod's core idea is a game built around deer: the author wanted a simple mod that adds attractive animals to Minecraft. Deers appear as mobs, and players can raid them, which is the mod's main gameplay loop. Deer crackers and deer pattern banners and shields extend the theme into items and decoration.

Deer Mod runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20 – 26.3 and snapshot builds published. Both the server and every player need it, and Fabric API is required on Fabric. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source code, issue tracker and wiki are public. Another mod, Polymer Patch for Deer Mod, requires Deer Mod.

Key features

  1. Raidable deers

    Deers can be raided, adding a hunting-style interaction to the mob's behavior.

  2. Deer crackers

    Deer crackers are an item tied to the deer theme, obtained through the mod's deer content.

  3. Deer pattern banners and shields

    Banners and shields with deer patterns let players decorate builds and gear with the theme.

  4. Deer-themed animals

    Deers are added as beautiful animals meant to fill the world with a new kind of creature.
