Ostrich Core (Walruses)
by Ritro
Ostrich Core (Walruses) adds walruses to the game as tameable, rideable mobs that swim quickly and take less damage.
What it does
Walruses spawn in snowy cold biomes near frozen bodies of water. A tame walrus can be fed raw fish, bred with buckets of cod or salmon, and set to follow its owner. Right-clicking one mounts it, and shift with right-click makes it stay in place. Holding space charges a dash, which was intended for travel over water as well as land.
Walruses are strong swimmers, so they suit crossing long ocean distances quickly. Thanks to their thick blubber, walruses take only half the damage from every source. Wild walruses are friendly until they are attacked, and they fight back when provoked. The mod requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric for 26.2 only, with the 1.0.0 build published on 2026-08-13. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The server and every player need the mod installed.

What the author says
Find them in any snowy or cold biome near frozen bodies of water. They’re friendly… until you attack them or their friends. Then they will fight back.
