Duckzi's Opossums
by duckzi
Duckzi's Opossums adds a tameable opossum mob to Minecraft, which players can breed, feed, equip and store items with.
What it does
Opossums spawn mainly near villages, in forests and on plains. A tamed opossum can be bred with apples, and taming uses sweet berries. Opossums are attracted to dropped items and eat them, while keeping the items in their inventory. Once tamed, a player can open the opossum's inventory to store items.
The mod adds one new mob pool to the world and is part of a series with Duckzi's Critters. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file released on 2026-06-14. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.
