Flora cows
Flora Cows adds cows that each carry a flower type, and the flower a cow carries decides what it drops when it is killed.
What it does
Plain cows are replaced by a herd of flora cows that differ in appearance and special attributes. Each type drops one flower: a Poppy cow drops poppies and a Cornflower cow drops cornflowers. The herd is spread across different biomes, so cows found in forests, snowy peaks and deserts look and behave differently from one another.
Flora Cows is a mob mod for players who want a more varied livestock setup, both in single-player worlds and on multiplayer servers. It is published for Forge and NeoForge across five game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.4, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. The license is All rights reserved, which means the code is not open source.
Key features
Flower-dropping cows
Each flora cow drops a specific flower type when killed, such as poppies from Poppy cows and cornflowers from Cornflower cows.
Biome-adapted herds
Cows take on forms suited to dense forests, snowy peaks and scorching deserts, so their surroundings shape their look.
Distinct appearance
Each flora cow has its own look and special attributes, separating it from plain vanilla cows.

Use cases
Flower farming
Players who need a steady supply of flowers can keep flora cows and harvest the drops they leave behind.
Varied livestock
Builders who want farms with more than one kind of cow can mix flora cows of different types across their pastures.
Who it’s for: Players who like mobs and biome-themed livestock, and server owners who want a herd that differs from vanilla cows. Both sides need the mod to see the same herd.
