Paws & Claws

by king_scarlet

Paws & Claws adds small passive critters, including mice, lizards, snails and kiwis, to the Forge 1.20.1 world, and it requires Geckolib.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Each critter spawns in its own set of biomes: mice roam many of them and a white variant appears in cold ones, lizards are common across many biomes with brown ones most frequent, snow lizards stay in some cold biomes and jungle lizards only in the jungle, snails wander swamps and mangroves, and kiwis are rare small mobs found in the jungle. Mice breed with pumpkin, wheat, torchflower, melon and beetroot seeds, lizards breed with rotten flesh, and snails breed with leaves.

The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Geckolib is a required dependency, and Forge 1.20.1 is the only loader and game version covered. The latest Forge file is 1.0.1, published 2025-09-01.

Key features

  1. Passive mice
