Faunus
by cybercat5555
Faunus adds a set of exotic animal mobs, from snapping turtles and leeches to capuchin monkeys, to jungles, swamps and rivers for Fabric and Quilt.
What it does
Faunus brings a dozen new animals to Minecraft, drawn from tropical and South American wildlife. Quetzals and Hoatzins live in jungles, Yacares and Arapaimas appear in water, Snapping Turtles bury themselves in mud with only their heads showing, and Songbirds come in many colour variants. Piranhas and playful capuchin monkeys round out the set, so jungles and swamps gain more life than before.
Several animals give drops that feed into other mechanics. Quetzal feathers can be crafted into a trinket that increases speed and attracts villagers, and the same feathers can brew potions with a matching effect. Hoatzins and Yacares give meat, and Leeches carry a blood-based benefit that can be bottled and brewed into lifesteal potions. Crayfish, in both common green and rare blue forms, can be cooked, and the blue ones also go into Swamp Crawler potions. Faunus requires Fabric API, Geckolib and SmartBrainLib, and it is installed on the Fabric or Quilt loader. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
