Silly Goose
by PotatoWolfie
Silly Goose adds geese to Minecraft that are more aggressive and annoying than the vanilla birds, with three variants tied to biome temperature.
What it does
The geese spawn in groups of one to three near lakes and rivers, and the three variants are named after the temperate, warm and cold biomes they appear in. Most of them are harmless until a player strikes one or attacks the group, at which point they honk, chase and retaliate, though their attacks are not deadly. Players who walk long enough near them can also meet a Honk Run, when a goose waddles up, honks at them and sprints away.
Picking up a weapon and leaving it on the ground for too long can draw a curious goose to steal it. Offering seeds instead of fighting is an alternative, since the geese are willing to trade. Silly Goose is built for Fabric and runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for seven release versions, 1.21.10 – 26.3, and the code is not open source, with All rights reserved applying.
