J4gm's Kiwis | Fabric
by _Coln
Kiwi birds from the J4gm's Kiwis series now roam forest biomes on Fabric, and this port adds them as a natural mob with drops and breeding.
What it does
Kiwi birds generate in forests across most of the biome types that contain trees. They can be bred with seeds, and the eggs they lay hatch in the same manner as chicken eggs. Kiwi birds also dig up items now and then, such as seeds, berries, and sometimes iron or gold nuggets, depending on the loot table.
A small chance exists for a laser kiwi to spawn in place of a normal one. The dig table is set through a data pack, so server owners can change what the birds find. Wildlife of this kind is open to threats from predators that do not belong to the area, and pet cats should be kept away from the birds. This is a Fabric port of J4gm's Kiwis, and the mod requires Forge's counterpart features only as the author notes describe; players should check the mod page for loader details before installing.
