Golden Apple Cow
by Vix.
Golden Apple Cow adds a rare cow variant to Fabric worlds that players can find only in Mushroom Fields and Mushroom Islands biomes.
What it does
The mod adds Golden Apple Cows, which spawn naturally but only in the rare Mushroom Fields and Mushroom Islands biomes, so they are a prize to track down. A killed Golden Apple Cow drops the standard cow loot plus between 0 and 2 Golden Apples, giving a renewable source of this food. Custom loot tables define those drops.
Like ordinary cows, Golden Apple Cows can be bred with wheat, which lets a player start a golden livestock farm. A spawn egg and a localized item are included, and the egg is listed among the Creative tabs for quick checks and world-building projects. Golden Apple Cow runs on Fabric and needs to be installed on both client and server, and files are published for 1.21.11 only. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Natural spawning
Golden Apple Cows generate in the wild, only in the Mushroom Fields and Mushroom Islands biomes.
Renewable Golden Apples
Killing a Golden Apple Cow yields standard cow loot along with between 0 and 2 Golden Apples.
Breeding with wheat
Golden Apple Cows accept wheat for breeding, as standard cows do, so a herd can be grown.
Spawn egg
A spawn egg for the cow is available in the Creative inventory, useful for testing and building.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Building a golden farm
A player can breed Golden Apple Cows from a small starting herd and keep a farm that yields Golden Apples.
Testing in creative worlds
The spawn egg lets a creator place cows in a test world without travelling to a mushroom biome.
Who it’s for: Players who want a renewable Golden Apple source in survival, and builders who want a themed livestock farm in creative or world-building projects.
