Aardvark's Cosmic Zoology
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
This is a addon for one of my other mods, Aardvarks Weird Zoology. It doesn't require it to work, but the two were designed with each other in mind, so certain mobs and recipes may lack items.

Tired of all of the same "normal" animal mods? Want some bizzaro creatures in your world? Well then check out Aardvarks Cosmic Zoology.
Clone and find the DNA of 16 different animals, each with their own strange biologys.
Develop new tools and weapons from the new items they drop.
You can even transform into them using a new device!
Finally, Aardvark's Cosmic Zoology also makes use of the same zoo machine system I made for Aardvark's Zoology, so there's an incentive to build nice exhibits for your animals, cause Joyizer machines will turn animal joy into a set resource. However, since these are animals from another world, their requirements are much more intense - and so are the rewards! This mod is still very much a work in progress, and nothing is final yet - but It is stable. However, if you run into any issues or have any ideas on where I can improve, please let me know!
