Wildlife [Fabric]

by chirpy.cricket

Wildlife, a Fabric mob mod, places 74 kinds of animals and insects into the world, from birds to small creatures that can be caught and released.

FabricClient and serverAll rights reserved1.18.2 – 1.20.1

What it does

The mod adds 74 species of animals and insects that spawn naturally in the world. Smaller creatures can be picked up by right-clicking them with an empty hand and set free again later. Small animals can also be set on a player's head, where they ride along, or placed on item frames. Each songbird species has its own birdsong, and a small number of rare albino variants appear among the animals.

Wildlife needs Geckolib to run, since its animations depend on that library. Patchouli is optional, but a Patchouli book is included, with a description and illustration for each animal, and using the book on a Wildlife mob opens the guidebook. A config file controls spawn locations and frequency, so server owners can adjust where and how often each animal appears.

The server and every player need the mod installed. Builds exist for 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and the latest Fabric file, 1.20.1-2.2, dates from 2023-08-08. The code is not open source; it is covered by All rights reserved.
