Description

This mod adds hippos to your world.
You can find them only in the savanna biome. (You can change this and other spawn settings by editing the json files in the data -> biome tags and biome modifier folders or via resource pack,
but in fabric some spawn settings like the weight, min, max mob number have to be edited in the config file)
They are easily agitated.
If there is a someone nearby that does not go away from them, then after a while they will go on a rampage and attack that creature.
You can tame and breed them with items like wheat, grass, apple, melon slice and other vegetables. (10% chance per tries, custom item tag json file added for this so you can change it)
But even if its tamed it can still attack you sometimes and by feeding it it will calm down and stop attacking you.
You change the config option "can_attack_randomly" to false if you dont want them to attack randomly anymore after taming
or by increasing the "random_attack_chance" value, it will attack less often.
Also breeding can only happen in the water and they can only breed with the opposite gender!
You can find males less often and are larger.
On daytime they will try to search for water and cool themselves down in there
and at nighttime they will set out to search for food. (eat grass, like sheep)
Resting or staying in water will restore its health a little bit too.
They have 3 type of behaviors (aquarius libs 1.0.1+ shows message when their owner is changing their behavior) -wandering (wanders around, if tamed then it will wander around the block you put it into wandering mode) -resting(stays in place) -following (follows owner)
