JamesMobs
JamesMobs introduces an elephant as its first addition, with ivory and ivory totems that give players timed effects.
What it does
The mod adds a naturally spawning elephant to the world. Killing it yields elephant meat and ivory, and ivory can be crafted into totems. Each totem grants a temporary effect, including strength, speed and water breathing. The elephant is built to fit into existing biomes rather than sit apart from them.
The author plans to add more mobs over time, so the list of creatures is expected to grow across later updates. Progression is handled through in-game advancements, which introduce the mod's features as a player reaches them, so the systems can be learned while playing rather than from a guide.
JamesMobs is a Fabric mod, and it runs on the client only, so a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it. Files exist for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file, published on 2026-04-08. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
