Creatures & Features+
by Lagpha29
Creatures & Features+ reworks a set of underused mobs and items, giving squids, bats, bears, sniffers and phantoms new uses in the game.
What it does
Squids get a full life cycle: a baby develops into an adult, and an adult can grow into an elder. Glow squids reach a larger adult size than regular squids. Squids can be bred with raw salmon or cod, and a squid that develops further has a chance to drop more ink sacs or glow ink sacs. Dispensers holding glow ink sacs shoot them to blind mobs within three blocks, and hitting a squid underwater gives blindness or night vision.
The mod also adds a glow sense enchantment for helmets, which lets a player holding glow ink in the off hand press R to reveal blocks within a 32-block radius. Blindness arrows are craftable from eight phantom membranes and an arrow. Phantoms flee from light during nights and sometimes drop membranes, bats occasionally drop bats, and haunted soil can be crafted from bonemeal with a small chance of dropping death. The mod is aimed at players who want the underused mobs and items of vanilla to do more. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

What the author says
minecraft has tens of mobs and hundreds of features, and there are many that are not only barely used, but only act as nuisances. sometimes, even entire systems act like that, being disconnected from other systems, or even as much as not worth the effort - and get ignored by players. the most annoying thing is that…
