Kabanchyk
Kabanchyk adds wild boars that roam forests and taigas for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1, and they are most active at night.
What it does
Boars spawn naturally in forest and taiga biomes, including a Boar Grove biome, where they make wilderness areas feel more populated. Their behavior is driven by a custom AI, and they become more active after dark, which makes travel through dark forests a riskier trip. When a boar is killed it drops boar meat, a new food item for the player's stock.
The mod is meant for players who want more life in vanilla forests without changing the overall style of the game, and it can suit survival worlds that feel empty. It works on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist only for Forge 1.20.1, with version 1.0.0 released on 2026-06-07, under the Apache License 2.0; the code is not open source.
