Animalia Exotica
The author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
_Animalia is a Minecraft mod focused on making the world feel more alive and diverse through new animals while staying true to the style and atmosphere of vanilla Minecraft._
Each animal is designed to feel like a natural part of the world, with its own behavior, movement, and personality, making encounters during exploration and survival more interesting and memorable.
Animalia Animals
Now mod include this content: 6 new, unique mobs with special mechanics, plus lots of items and blocks
Planned Features:
The Animalia animal roster will be continually expanded in future updates. Currently, we plan to add over 50 creatures (including giraffes, ostriches, bears, Komodo dragons, pythons, Galapagos tortoises, tigers, eagles, and bison). You can check out the full list on our Discord server.
