Legends Badgers
Legends Badgers, by BelgieMinecraft, adds badgers to the base game, spawning in forest biomes and digging up items.
What it does
Badgers spawn at random within forest biomes. A badger can dig, and each dig has a chance to drop an item, which is defined by a custom loot table. The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge and is published for 1.21.4 – 26.2 across 12 release versions, with 1.0.0 for 26.2 as the latest file on both loaders.
Recent builds added data-driven loot and reworked the badger models and textures to match the feel of the base game. Variants for the badgers are listed as coming soon, along with a showcase of the next update. Datapacks and resource packs are expected to be the way to add further variants.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Forest badgers
Badgers spawn at random within forest biomes, so they appear in the wild rather than in a fixed structure.
Digging for items
A badger can dig, and each dig has a chance to produce an item drawn from the mod's loot table.
Custom loot table
The drops are set by a custom loot table, which the data-driven format of recent builds made easier to adjust.
Updated models and textures
Recent versions reworked the badger models and textures so they match the look and feel of the base game.
