May's Mantises

Praying mantises spawn naturally in several biomes, each variant in its own habitat. Blossom Mantises appear in cherry groves and lush caves, Bark Mantises in taigas, badlands, deserts and spruce forests, and Brush Mantises across most forests and open grassy plains. Grasshoppers are rare and appear when they break grass, bushes and ferns.

Each variant has its own combat profile. Blossom Mantises have low health and high speed with strong damage, Bark Mantises have medium health, medium speed and high knockback, and Brush Mantises have high health with low speed and mid knockback. Mantises can be tamed with a food item, and oothecae hatch into Brush Mantises or Bark Mantises depending on the grass, leaves or dead vegetation they are found on.

The mod adds the mantis entities, the Food tame item, the Seared Grasshopper, and the Green and Brown Oothecae. It is a Fabric mod, released for Minecraft 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 with files for 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
