Wonderful Wildlife
by SStudios
Wonderful Wildlife adds a set of animals to Minecraft, including Australian species such as the numbat, rakali and brolga, along with some lesser-known plants.
What it does
The mod is a remake of an earlier version with the same name. Its entities include dingoes and Australian wetland birds, each with its own set of animations for actions such as foraging, diving and swimming. The animals spawn naturally in different biomes, so they appear in survival worlds and creative worlds alike, and the mod suits zoos and wildlife parks built on a server. Client and server both need the mod, and the code is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, which is not open source. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 for Forge.
