Vibrant Parrots
by Fuzs
Vibrant Parrots adds 11 new parrot variants to the jungle, giving players 16 colorful birds in total to find, tame and breed.
What it does
New variants appear naturally in jungles beside the five vanilla parrot types, so a world carries colorful birds without any command or setup. Tamed parrots can be bred with seeds, and the pair then lays eggs over time that hatch into chicks, letting a player build a flock. Portable bird cages let a tamed parrot be carried and moved to a new base or taken along on travel.
Owners can decide how their parrots behave on the shoulder, whether they stay there or leave, and how often eggs are laid. Variants are data-driven, so data packs can add new parrot colors and textures. Vibrant Parrots requires Fabric API, Forge Config API Port and Puzzles Lib, and configuration can be changed in-game through Mod Menu, which the mod lists as required. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and the code is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Files cover 1.21.1 – 26.3 for Fabric and NeoForge.
