Messenger Ravens
by Tman_2018
Messenger Ravens adds a tameable raven mob that players can send with items addressed to other players.
What it does
Ravens are a new mob found in forests and mountains, where they appear in small flocks. A raven can be tamed by feeding it gold nuggets or iron nuggets, and tamed ravens breed when given sweet berries. Once tamed, a raven can be given an item named after a player, and it then carries that item to the named recipient through the anvil delivery step.
The mod needs Geckolib 4.8.4 for its animations and spawning. It fits alongside biome mods that add forests, since the raven spawns in those biomes. Messenger Ravens runs on client and server and is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, under All rights reserved; the code is not open source.
