More Animals
by Bestsoft100
More Animals changes how many animals spawn in a world, raising the cap on natural spawns in the Fabric 1.21.1 build.
What it does
Animal counts per area rise under this mod, with the cap lifted from its default level. Animals also come back quicker after they are gone, since the usual chance of respawning is dropped, which lets them refill space that hostile mobs would otherwise take. More Animals is published for Fabric 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the 1.0.0 file for 1.21.1 was released on 2025-10-10. It is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so the code is open source and public links for the source and issue tracker exist. The mod runs on the server alone.
Key features
Higher animal spawn cap
The cap on animals in an area is raised, so more of them appear in each chunk.
Faster animal respawns
The usual chance that animals respawn is dropped, so animals return quicker than hostile mobs fill the space.
Generation and random spawns
Only animals created during world generation and random spawns are affected, leaving other spawn sources unchanged.

What the author says
This mod increased the spawn cap of animals from 10 to 30. It also removes the 1 in 400 chance for animals respawning, meaning they will spawn as fast as hostile mobs. This mod does not affect animals spawned during world generation, only random spawns.
