A simple mod, that adds a race of Wood Elves to the game!
Wood Elves can be found in most forrest type biomes, however they are very timid... they will keep a watchful eye on the player, from a safe distance.
They seem to use special Elven Bows, hmm, I wonder whats the difference between a normal bow? Perhaps they can fire faster? Although looks like its just made of twigs & leaves, it can't be that good right.

This is my first Mod! I created this to learn mod creation, so its incredibly basic and unfortunately I couldnt get them to raise their arms when they fire the bow. So yeah this was just a learning experience I decided to share. Please don't complain or send unkind comments or toxic DMs!
There are 6 Elf variants, and the Textures for the Elves were developed & edited from these 2 skins

The purpose of this mod is just to add a little world building & to fill a gap in the lack of Elf mods, good for RPG Fantasy Modpacks! You can add to your modpack. Will not be updating to any other version.
Toxic DM messages will be reported.
