What it does

Players can stock an enclosure with animals from the mod's jungle and desert biomes. The jungle holds nine species, among them a Jaguar that waits unseen with only its eyes showing, a Flamingo, a Shrimp and a Capybara that can be ridden with a Melon Stick. The desert holds ten, including the nocturnal Fennec Fox, which hunts small animals, the Frilled Lizard, which tries to avoid Husks, and the Steppe Eagle, the national bird of Egypt. Four snake species are included, and their bites apply poison, toxin and venom effects.

Golden Lion Tamarins and Fennec Foxes come with Baby and Foxy nametag variants. The Golden Lion Tamarin is tameable and can throw rocks to attack hostile mobs. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It requires Geckolib, and files are published for Forge 1.18.2 only, with 1.1.0.2 as the latest build, released 2023-06-14. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
