What it does

Jungle biomes host naturally spawning monkeys, which come in brown, gray or golden coat variants. Offspring inherit a parent's color variant. Their animations, which cover walking, sitting, breathing, looking around and grooming other resting monkeys, are powered by GeckoLib, which the mod requires alongside Fabric API on Fabric. Adult monkeys that notice food in either hand may approach and snatch one item, then run away to eat it, but only about 35% of the time. Babies cannot steal food, and wearing the Monkey Mask prevents theft.

Banana bushes and poacher camps generate naturally in jungle biomes. Breaking the cage bars of a captive monkey lets the player rescue it. Killing five monkeys inside a ten-minute window applies Jungle's Distrust to the player for three minutes, so harming the jungle's animals carries a cost. Bananas and banana peels can be placed in a composter, and the mod is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Animated monkeys

    Monkeys breed, produce babies and behave socially, with custom animations for resting and grooming.

  2. Food theft behavior

    Adult monkeys approach players holding food and may run off with one item to eat it elsewhere.

  3. Banana Cake

    A placeable cake block with its own texture, crafted like a regular cake with bananas in place of sugar.

  4. Monkey Mask

    A leather helmet crafted between two bananas that protects the wearer's food from monkeys.
