This mod aims to bring new animals to spice up your experience playing Minecraft.

From the slow paces oceanic Sunfish, to noisy Emu Birds. You will be able to find new critters to collect and add to your own base and Zoos.

Some will also come with little items or special mechanics to give them a bit more life.

 

 

 

 

 

Mobs

Sunfish: They spawn in cold oceans and normal oceans, each biome has its own variant. You can bucket them to take them anywhere you go. They will also drop meat that when cooked it has a possibility to give you the water breathing effect.

 

Sting Ray: Sting Rays will spawn in cold oceans, warm oceans and swamps, each biome has its own variant based of the real life animal.  Be careful, if you get too close they might sting you!

 

Emu: Emu birds spawn in the wooded badlands biome, they will lay eggs that work same as chicken eggs. The eggs can be 'boiled' in a furnace or smoker. You can get a cute baby  that has a custom texture from breeding or throwing the egg!

 

Krill: These little fellas swim in schools and are another tasty addition to the frozen and cold oceans! they drop Raw Krill which can be cooked to get Fried Krill. Raw Krill can also be combined with salt and a glass bottle to make a Krill Cocktail.

 

Marine Iguana: These funny reptiles spawn at stony shores. They come in 5 variants, can be bred with Kelp and are also bucketable. They can sneeze out salt after a few minutes, Salt can be used to craft Salted Kelp or a Salt Lamp, Salted Kelp has a chance of giving the dolphins grace effect. Marine iguana's will search for seagrass and eat it, spitting it back out as a Seagrass Ball, this is a sticky substance which when placed down, acts like glue. it can also be crafted into a Seagrass Ball Block or put into a furnace to get a dried version, for decorative purposes. Reptile bags are also crafted with Seagrass Balls. They can also be used as alternative for slimeballs.

 

Longhorn Cow: These large cows spawn in the savanna biome. When hurt, they will charge at the player, when blocked with a shield they go into a stunned state, giving it a chance to drop one of its horns, the horns can be used to craft a didgeridoo. they can be milked and are bred with Wheat, they can also be tamed with Grass when stunned!

 

Pillbug: These silly arthropods can climb and spawn in forest biomes. They attack undead mobs and when you get nearby a pill bug it will roll up, unless you crouch. When it is rolled up, you can pick it up and use it as a weapon, when it isn't rolled up you can pick it up with a Flower Pot. When they die they drop a Pillbug Scute and Raw PillBug item which can be cooked to get Roasted Pill Bug which is place-able just like a cake and when they have the poison effect they turn purple (iridovirus) and upon death drop a Poisonous PillBug item and a Poisonous Pillbug Scute. The scutes can be used to craft Pillblock blocksets!

 

Toucan: These big beaked tropical birds spawn in jungles, they come in two variants and are tamable with melon seeds, they are also quite noisy fellas.

 

Humpback Whale: These majestic water animals spawn in the deep cold oceans, they feast upon krill and can be bred with Raw Krill. When fed Sand, Red Sand or Gravel they will filter it and blow treasure out.

 


Lion: These felines are a must have in your minecraft zoo! they truly are king of the jungle. They are tamable and in the future can even have armor equipped! Lions are the perfect guard for your base.

 


Gecko:
These small reptilians are a new colorful addition to the jungle biomes. When a monster is near, they will alert by screaming loudly! You can catch these with Reptile Bags!

 


Fiddle String Snake:
These funny silly looking snakes are a new slithering addition to jungles. They are very fast. So when trying to catch one with a Snake Hook, make sure to have your speedy boots on!

 


Pheasant: These majestic looking birds can spawn in every forest biome. They can be killed for a delightful piece of meat and maybe even a fancy looking feather!
