Mo' Creatures Legacy
by Rozmir_Rohi
Mo' Creatures Legacy restores the Mo Creatures animal and monster mod for Minecraft 1.7.10 as a stand-alone Forge mod, with its own bug fixes applied.
What it does
The mod is a 1.7.10 Forge build of Mo Creatures, meant to give players a working legacy version of the original animals and mobs. Entries in its author notes describe a set of major bug fixes and a list of changes to the original mod, which the author documents in a text file inside the jar. Spawns are placed by biome: insects such as ants, crabs, dragonflies, fireflies and roaches appear in forest, jungle, beach and swamp areas, while birds, foxes, goats, deer and ostriches fill plains, hills and mountain biomes. Spawn rates for aquatic creatures can be reduced through the MoC Spawn List config file.
Mo' Creatures Legacy runs on its own and does not require other mods beyond Forge. The author reports trying it with Custom Mob Spawner and suggests Another Mob Spawner for finer control over entity spawns. The author also tested loading the mod in a world that was first created with the original Mo Creatures. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for 1.7.10 only, with 1.2 as the latest Forge file, released 2025-02-22, under a custom license that is not open source.

How it compares
Mob Spawning Plus is a Forge mod for 1.12 – 1.18.2 that runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it, and it is not open source. Monsters Everywhere is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is client and server and is not open source. Red Pandas is also a Forge mod with client and server use, but it covers 1.14.4 – 1.19.3 and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only. Mo' Creatures Legacy differs from all three by targeting 1.7.10 and being client and server, with no open-source license.
