Gastropod Galore

The mod adds snails and slugs that eat crops and can be bred with wheat, beetroot, potato or carrot once tamed with bonemeal. Tamed animals have an owner who must hold a hoe with the Cultivation enchantment to harvest their crops. Snails drop slimeballs, turtle scutes and snail shells, and a baby snail can appear as a Snailet in about one in five spawns. Naming a snail Tanky or Bob changes its colors, and captured animals can be kept in a Snail Terrarium, which is crafted from five glass, three wooden slabs and a grass block.

Cultivation hoes plant crops in 3×3, square and 5×5 diamond patterns, and at level 3 and above they expand the hoe-till radius to 3×3. A Zeal Hoe speeds up tamed snails and slugs, and at level 2 it removes the harvest cooldown. Volcanic, mossy and apple snail shells come from dropped snails of those kinds. Capturing an animal with three bonemeal does not save its owner or tame status, so a released snail returns untamed. The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server.
