Familiar Aviary

by exaviordoesplays

Familiar Aviary is a NeoForge mobs mod that lets a player take control of a crow after equipping a Bird Skull Mask, with Veil required.

NeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.21.1

What it does

A bird gives the player a way to explore the world from the air. Feathers drop from birds, and those feathers are used in the crafting recipe for the Bird Skull Mask. Wearing the mask turns the player into a crow that can fly, and a bound key, set to the spacebar by default, controls the flight. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Veil is required, and the files are for 1.21.1 only.

Key features

  1. Feather drops

    Birds drop feathers, which become the material for the mask's recipe.

  2. Bird Skull Mask

    A craftable mask that transforms the wearer into a crow capable of flight.

  3. Spacebar flight

    Flight is bound to a key that defaults to the spacebar and can be rebound in controls.
