Description

Have you ever found an animal you didn't know and wanted to know how to breed it and if it was worth it? Have you ever fought a mob without really knowing what is it really doing? Have you ever wanted a nice checklist to see if you've encountered all mobs in your world?
If you said yes, Universal Bestiary is exactly what you need.
By combining a Book and Leather, you can make yourself your own little book that will contain pages on all mobs that can ever be found in your world. There are 3 ways of unlocking the page for a specific mob:
- Killing it
- Getting killed by it
- Making a Mob Identifier and using it on the mob at close range
You can also unlock pages even if you never have touched the book or isn't carrying it. And if you loose it, you can always get a new one and it'll have all your entries already unlocked.

Universal Bestiary supports all 46 vanilla mobs that can be seen in survival, as well as a number of mobs added by other mods, with more planned to be added. The currently supported mods are:
- Aqua Creepers! - 1
