Peculiar Creatures

by the-blue-shark

Peculiar Creatures adds fantasy and pop-culture mobs, items and music discs to a Fabric server, with the models built through Polymer.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.9 – 26.3

What it does

The mod adds peculiar creatures to the world, including an ogre home structure, a smurfish cap, an ear ogre and a sky bison that uses a custom model. A smurfcat turns a small zombie into a figure dressed in blue and white, with a smurf head on top. Spectre and the other music disc are also added, and they are played through Notica, so the music runs entirely on the server.

Installation requires Fabric API, Notica and Polymer. The mod is server-side only: players join a server that runs it without installing anything. Disabled items fall back to vanilla textures and entities turn into their vanilla counterparts when a resource pack is missing. Files are published for Fabric across eight release versions, 1.21.9 – 26.3, under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Custom creatures

    Creatures such as the ear ogre and the sky bison are added as mobs with their own models and textures.

  2. Ogre home structure

    A generated structure built for the ogre mob gives players a place to find it in the world.

  3. Music discs

    Spectre and the second disc play through Notica, so server owners can offer music without any client-side install.

  4. Vanilla fallback

    Items and entities whose textures are unavailable use vanilla appearances instead of breaking.

What the author says

If the resource pack is disabled, the items will use vanilla textures and entities will turn into their vanilla counterparts. (e.g. smurfcat turns into a small zombie with smurfcat player head and white and blue leather armor)
