Nether Sheep
by An-Sar
Nether Sheep adds a rare sheep variety that lives in Nether biomes such as mushroom forests and barren sand, and the mod is built for Fabric and Forge.
What it does
The sheep variety appears in mushroom forests, barren sand biomes and the Nether, where it feeds on fungi. It is modeled on the Ovis Atre, an animal that produces wool and milk. Players can encounter it while exploring the Nether, and it is less common than ordinary sheep. Nether Sheep runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Builds cover 1.18.2 – 1.20.1 for Fabric and Forge, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
