The Little Ones
The Little Ones adds tameable little creatures with wood-based variants, each with its own model, animation and special ability.
What it does
Players can find little mobs in the wild and tame them. Each wood type gives a different creature: a jungle variant leaps at the player and attacks while jumping, a bamboo variant shoots bamboo at targets for 2 hearts of damage and glows during attacks, and a cherry variant heals the player and gives pink flowers. Little ones spawn at the base amount for each wood type.
The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge, and it has to be installed on both the server and every player's client, since the environment is client and server. Files are published for 9 release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.8, and the latest Forge file targets 1.20.1 while the latest NeoForge file targets 1.21.8. The code is MIT licensed but is not open source.
