Project Gorilla
by Litleo7
Project Gorilla brings a new gorilla mob to the Minecraft jungle, along with bananas to tame and breed it and a set of armor crafted from its fur.
What it does
Gorillas are wild mobs that wander jungle biomes, so exploring deep jungle reveals a creature that is new to survival worlds. Players harvest bananas by breaking jungle leaves, and bananas are used to feed and bond with the animals. Two gorillas can be brought together to raise a baby companion, so a player can build a family over time.
Defeating gorillas yields Gorilla Fur, which is used to craft a set of armor. The armor offers extra protection in combat with wild gorillas. The mod is for players who want an animated jungle creature with a breeding and companion system. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 1.1.0-1.20.1 as the latest file, under All rights reserved.
