Wildlife Expanded: Snakes
Wildlife Expanded: Snakes adds tameable snakes to the Mobs category, with randomized patterns, colors and body shapes for each animal.
What it does
Snakes spawn in the world with random patterns and colors, and each one takes its own size, eye, body, head, tail and stomach shape. Some pattern combinations appear rarely, so a single world can contain animals that look quite different from one another. Roughly one in five snakes is poisonous.
A snake can be tamed with tropical fish. Once tamed, it can be healed with fish, which restores a third of its maximum health. Tamed snakes breed when fed raw chicken or raw rabbit, and a baby takes its color and pattern from its parents. Tamed snakes attack living mobs, but not monsters.
The mod is built for Forge only, with files for 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.3 and 1.20.1. The latest file, 1.0.0+1.20.1, was published on 2023-09-08. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, not as open source.
Key features
Random snake patterns
Each snake is generated with a random mix of colors and markings, so animals in the same world can differ widely.
Poisonous snakes
About one in five snakes carries venom, which a player must account for when approaching a wild animal.
Inherited appearance
Offspring keep the color and pattern of their parents, so a tamed line can be selected over several generations.
Taming and healing
Tropical fish tame the snake, and raw fish restore a third of its maximum health after taming.
