Eager Beavers

by sqwigly

Eager Beavers adds beavers to Minecraft, animals that chop down trees, build dams and carry logs, saplings and sticks around the world.

FabricNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.19.4 – 1.21.1

What it does

Beavers are added as a mob that gathers wood. When mobGriefing is enabled, beavers cut down nearby trees, and the felled trees leave stumps behind. A beaver picks up logs, bites down on blocks it can carry, replants saplings and eats sticks. Beavers can be fed a food item and then eat after a short wait. Once a beaver has gathered logs and other blocks, it looks for the nearest source of water and starts building a dam there.

Beavers breed with logs and wood, and they can be tamed with sticks. Killing a beaver drops beaver pelts. A later update fixed spawning issues and stopped beavers from eating too much of the world. The mod requires Geckolib, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.19.4 – 1.21.1 and 1.21.1 as the latest version. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Wood-gathering beavers

    Beavers cut down nearby trees when mobGriefing is on, leaving stumps where the trunks stood.

  2. Dam building

    After collecting logs and other blocks, a beaver seeks the nearest water and begins a dam there.

  3. Taming and breeding

    Beavers are tamed with sticks and bred with logs or wood, and killing one drops beaver pelts.

  4. Feeding and replanting

    Beavers eat food after a short wait, pick up saplings to replant them and eat sticks.

Questions

Does Eager Beavers need Geckolib?

Yes. Geckolib is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Eager Beavers on Fabric or NeoForge.

Do servers need Eager Beavers installed?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Will beavers cut down trees on a server?

They chop nearby trees when mobGriefing is enabled in the world, so the game rule controls whether that happens.
