Wondrous Wilds
by Ineffa
Players exploring Overworld biomes find Wondrous Wilds reworks Birch Forests and adds a bird, Fabric-only, that flies and perches on mobs.
What it does
The mod adds content meant for an unfinished Overworld update: a new bird that can navigate by flying and walking and switch between the two, and that hides in grass when exposed to daylight. Fancy Birch trees populate the revamped Birch Forests and can also grow from saplings. Mobs and players may be landed on by the bird, which also moves in short hops on foot and covers distance quickly through the sky.
Wondrous Wilds targets 1.19 – 1.19.2 on Fabric, and the latest file is 1.19.2-1.1.6 for 1.19.2, released 2023-02-07. Both sides must run it, so servers and players share the same install. It needs Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Geckolib, while Mod Menu is optional. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Fancy Birch trees
Fancy Birch trees populate the biome and can also sometimes grow from saplings, as Fancy Oaks do.
Flying and walking bird
The bird moves by flying or walking and can swap between the two modes during play.
Perching on mobs and players
The bird occasionally flies to mobs and players, landing and sitting on top of them.
Daylight hiding
When exposed to daylight the bird tries to hide in grass, and it hops on the ground while flying quickly in the air.
Revamped Birch Forests
The bird can be found in Birch Forests, which received further additions and improvements.

Use cases
Birch Forest exploration

Who it’s for: Players who want more Overworld content on Fabric, and server owners who want new decorative trees and a passive bird on a Fabric server.
How it compares
The Wild Mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with files for 1.17 – 1.18.1 on Fabric, so it covers an earlier version range. Tree Hollows is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, Fabric-only, and published for 1.19 – 1.20.1, overlapping this mod's range.
