PrimalFauna
by vingadouro1
On Forge 1.20.1, PrimalFauna changes the animal roster in Minecraft Java Edition by swapping out certain vanilla creatures and introducing species that are not in the base game.
What it does
Wild and farm animals in the world are rebuilt with more primal behaviors. Most wild animals fight back when attacked, or run away, instead of standing still. Taming is harder, so a tamed domestic animal carries more value. The mod adds new species alongside the existing ones and replaces some vanilla animals.
Most animals added by the mod use simplified genetic variety, with differences in personality, colors and sizes. Servers and clients both need the mod, because the animals are synchronized between them. Files exist for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, released 2025-04-08. The code is covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
