More Animals

by Spookly

More Animals fills overworld biomes with new creatures, from swimming herds and predators in swamps to insects that drift over flower fields.

What it does

The mod spawns new animal mobs in the world. Water animals gather in groups, predators lurk in swamps and rivers, and insects flutter through flower fields. Cold regions host social animals that move in herds, while fast runners roam warm, dry biomes. Forests gain ambient creatures, and some slow mobs sometimes drop slimeballs.

Curious raccoons sneak around camps, butterflies drift over meadows and forests, and crocodiles wait in the water. Duckweed spreads across calm lakes and ponds, adding small details to the surroundings. Some variants can be added or extended through datapacks, and the author documents how to add variants on the wiki.

Architectury API and Fabric API are required dependencies, so both must be installed next to the mod. Nature's Spirit and Regions Unexplored are optional and can be added for extra compatibility. The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 4 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.5, and the code is under the MIT License, so it is open source.
