Fake Mobs
by MuddyDressy
Fake Mobs adds decorative fake versions of a pig, panda, cow, sheep and bee, plus fake player figures that carry a chosen username, all made by crafting recipes.
What it does
Each fake mob is a crafted object that resembles a vanilla animal and can be placed in the world. The fake player figures take a player username, so a builder can label a figure with any name. The set covers five animal figures and four player figures, each with its own recipe, and the recipes sit in the normal crafting grid.
The mod is aimed at builders, map makers and anyone staging scenes on a server. It requires Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 and runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published only for Forge, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
