Tired of horses? Saddle up something with claws.
This mod 'Bear Neccesities' adds tameable Grizzly Bears.
They're more tanky than horses, and hit harder than wolves, but they can't jump.
Mod includes:
Bear Onesie (Armor for the player)
Bears, duh
Armor for the Bear (Leather, Iron, Gold, Diamond, Netherite)
Dyeable collar for the Bear
NOTE: You have to either hold a saddle or a bear armor to open the bear's equipment menu.
How to tame a grizzly bear? Make sure to feed the cub (baby bear) some raw beef, and try not to get attacked by the adult ones!
