How do I install Giraffes and koalas?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

The listing gives Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.5, 1.20.6, among others. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

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.

The savanna is now less boring! There will be giraffes, koalas, and the occasional eucalyptus tree.
You can use the eucalyptus trees to craft: planks, (stripped) wood, doors, trapdoors, fences and gates, a boat, (hanging) signs, and all the regular wooden things.
It also comes with double fence gates, picket fences (with matching gates), a farm-style double gate, and awnings which can be coloured just like banners (using a loom).
To help out with building storage solutions there is a practical filter hopper. It works just like a regular hopper, but has a filter for up to 5 different items. No additional redstone required!

You can breed the giraffes with acacia leaves, and the koalas with eucalyptus leaves!

Starting version 1.2.0 the mod will be NeoForge compatible and no longer Forge compatible.
The NeoForge version is intended for Minecraft 1.20.4 and up.
