I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Animal Explorer
From the Savannahs where the lion kings live, the jungle of the dangerous tiger, the seas where sharks live, to small lakes where platypuses live and the leaves where beautiful birds live.
No matter where you look you will always see a being that can be dangerous, peaceful or neutral.
Adventures from the swamps where crocodiles and hippos abound or plains where there are bulls, but there are also helmets for you like owls to see better, penguin boots to swim faster.
yes, if you look at that animal there will be armor
