Prehistoric Mobs
by ctkrocks
Prehistoric Mobs adds the Big Beak, a large ride-able bird, and the Hungry Dripleaf, a carnivorous plant, to Minecraft worlds.
What it does
Big Beak eggs are found in trail ruins and hatch after about five minutes when placed near other eggs. A tamed Big Beak can be ridden and can glide slowly over the ground or maneuver in the air. Sniffers find the Hungry Dripleaf in lush caves, and a mob standing next to it is poisoned. Sneaking helps avoid its attack, and a mob that dies near it can cause dripleaf to grow. The mod runs on the server, and only the server needs it, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with 1.0+mod for 1.21.4 as the latest build. The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is not open source.
