by YourDailyModder

YDM's Red Panda adds red pandas to the game, living in bamboo jungles, and players can tame them with sweet berries.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.16.5 – 1.21.7

What it does

Red pandas spawn in bamboo jungles and are neutral toward players. A player can tame one with sweet berries, breed tamed pandas with bamboo, and restore a panda's health by feeding it bamboo. A red panda that dies may leave behind a bamboo stalk.

The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 13 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.7, and the latest file for each loader targets 1.21.7. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player install the mod. Its code is not open source and the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Spawn settings differ by version. Older builds adjust spawns through the common config, while from 1.19 on the spawn can be changed through a biome tag and a biome modifier. On Fabric the config file is named ydms redpandaconfig.properties in the config folder. Players who used older versions should delete their red panda config file to adopt the new default spawn settings, or keep it.

Key features

  4. Bamboo drops
