More Critters
Players who want new fantasy creatures with uses in survival can add More Critters, a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that adds 25 creatures in a vanilla style.
What it does
Each creature added by More Critters has a use for the player, from food to a new weapon. Critters are also meant to make the world livelier. The mod's major updates each follow a theme and add new Critters around it, so the roster is expected to grow over time.
Critters are not the only content. Merchant wagons found in plains, badlands and swamps sell nothing, but they buy Critter-related items, so Critter drops keep their value. A mount that can carry items and be ridden travels with them. Wagon chests hold a field guide to the creatures, and small passive ambient mobs that can be moved in bags and dance to music discs.
Deep underground, Fossil Blocks may drop a Fossil when broken, and Fossils can be placed on Fossil Displays as decorations. The mod is Forge-only for 1.20.1, with the latest file 1.4.5 released on 2026-08-08. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is under the MIT License and is not open source. Critterly Delight requires it.
