Weird&Useless Creatures
by Trubanaseg
Weird&Useless Creatures adds a large set of unusual mobs to Minecraft 1.20.1, some based on real animals and others invented by the author.
What it does
The mod adds a varied group of creatures, items and other content. Some creatures are drawn from real-life animals, while others are fictional mobs created by the author. Their behavior ranges from odd to practical, and the set includes mobs such as the Tea Fungus Slime, Jumping Fungus, Redstone Eel, Spiny Mouse, Prehistoric Steve and Rice Jellyfish.
The creatures are placed in the world through world generation, so players meet them while exploring rather than through crafting. Some entries are still listed as in development. The mod is available for Forge on 1.20.1 only, with version 1.0.0 released on 2024-09-24, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
