Red Pandas
by JTK222
Red Pandas is a Forge mod by JTK222 that adds red panda mobs to the Mobs category, with spawns in several biome types.
What it does
The mod adds red pandas to the game as mobs that generate in five forest, plains and jungle biomes. Their spawn rates are kept in datapacks, so other mods and server owners can tune how often the animals appear.
Both the server and every player need the mod, because the environment is client and server. Forge is the only loader, with files for nine release versions across 1.14.4 – 1.19.3. The latest file is 5.0.0 for 1.19.3, released on 2023-04-23, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, with public source code and an issue tracker.
Key features
Red panda mobs
Red pandas are added as passive animals that players can see roaming through the forests and jungle of the overworld.
Five biome spawns
The animals generate in plains, flower and birch forests, old birch groves and bamboo jungles.
Datapack spawn rates
Spawn rates are set through datapacks, which lets other mods and server owners adjust how often the pandas appear.
Planned behavior changes
The author intends to give red pandas more unique behaviors in later updates, and a multi-loader rewrite for Quilt is planned.

What the author says
However, based on a couple of tests, this does not seem to work properly, I'll update the list once I have dived further into the inner workings of this mod. Of course you can use datapacks or other mods to tinker with their spawnrates. Future plans for the mod involve a multi-loader rewrite making this mod also…
