DePhoegons' Chocobos
by DePhoegon
DePhoegons' Chocobos gives players rideable, breedable chocobo creatures that can be named, colored and fought alongside, with Forge and Fabric builds for 1.18.2 – 1.20.1.
What it does
Chocobos spawn in several sizes and colors, and breeding can make a chocobo stronger over generations. Players can ride a chocobo, and the rider is drawn in first person view so others see the mount. A chocobo can be given a name with a nametag, and a named chocobo spawn egg keeps that name when it is renamed or placed.
The creature is tied to a set of companion items: chocobo armor shares color palettes with certain blocks, and some colors appear naturally by biome while colored spawn eggs can be used with spawners. Combat-capable companions are part of the design, so the mod suits survival worlds, adventure maps and servers that want a pet mount. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and issue tracker public.
Installation needs Configuration, DePhoegons' Reclaim, Geckolib and Just Enough Items (JEI). Patchouli is optional and is not currently available for 1.20 and above, so it is only used on 1.20.1 builds.
Key features
Rideable chocobos
Players mount a chocobo and ride it, with the rider rendered in first person view so other players can see them.
Breeding and stronger lines
Breeding combines parents so offspring can grow stronger, and several sizes of chocobo exist in the same world.
Naming and named eggs
A nametag gives a chocobo its name, and a named spawn egg keeps that name when renamed.
Colors and palettes
Chocobos, chicobos and armor share color palettes with certain blocks, and biome-dependent colors spawn naturally.
Hanging flower and coral
Decorative blocks include a yellow coral and a hanging flower to match the chocobo palettes.

How it compares
Chococraft is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod with client and server environment, covering 1.7.2 – 26.1.2, released under All rights reserved and not open source. Crazy Chocobos! is Forge only, client and server, for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved. ChocoCraft Plus is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, but it is Forge only and covers 1.7.10 – 1.12.2, so it does not overlap this mod's 1.18.2 – 1.20.1 range.

-1.20 / 1.20.1 - [ Patchouli, not-currently available for 1.20+ ] == Technically the mods are compatible but would spawn confusion & lead to sometimes conflicting moments.
