Useful Mobs Data Pack breathes new life into often overlooked mobs like bats, pigs, polar bears, and introduces unique uses for glow ink, turning these forgotten entities into valuable assets for your adventures. Enjoy playing this data pack!
Features:
- Useful Pigs
Pigs will now produce 2 babies instead of one when bred! Cows make leather, sheep make wool, and this makes pigs more useful for food. - Useful Bats
Throwing a glow berry at a bat will give one nearby mob glowing, helping to find new caves! Bats will only consume one berry, so it is safe to throw a whole stack at them. Also features an advancement for doing so. - Useful Polar Bear
Throwing raw salmon at a polar bear will give all nearby players strength, aiding you in battle! Bears will only consume one salmon, so it is safe to throw a whole stack at them. Also features an advancement for doing so. - Useful Glow Squid
Glow ink sacs can now be used to craft spectral arrows. Great for pre-nether gameplay!
