Raven Mail
by EnderBoy
Raven Mail lets tamed ravens carry letters between players, and the ravens themselves can be bred, hatched and kept as companions.
What it does
A wild raven can be tamed with raw meat or raw fish. Tamed ravens come in many variants, and the red, purple and gold variants cannot be obtained in the normal way.
Bred ravens drop an egg. The egg is placed on a soft block such as wool, hay, grass or dirt, where it hatches into a baby raven that starts untamed and can then be tamed like an adult. The mail function is the core of the mod: a tamed raven can be sent to deliver messages to friends. The mod depends on CipherLib, which must be installed alongside it. It runs on Fabric and needs the same setup on both the client and the server, so the server and every player install it. Files are published for 1.21.11, and the mod is released under a custom license that is not open source.

What the author says
Inspired by Arathain's ravens from Content SMP. Find a wild raven then tame it. Once you tame it, give the raven a bundle renamed to your friend's username. The raven will go to said friend as long as they are in the same dimension as the raven. Once the the mail is picked up, the raven will return to it's owner
