Description

This mod requires Patchouli 1.21.1-92 / 1.20.1-84.1 or higher

If you have problems with the 1.20.1 version, try using Forge 47.4.10 or higher (guaranteed success)!

Fauna & Orchestra is a Neoforge mod that explores the magic of music: you'll be able to tame some of the 9 new animals and give them instruments so they form a little orchestra with its frog conductor!

The newer update adds story progression as well: you'll be met by a mysterious character that warns you about the dangers of melomancy and asks for your help. By exploring the world you'll meet new characters, improve your melomantic skills (a new form of musical magic), create musical artifacts (like a choreomania bomb) and discover the secrets of this musical world.

The more you delve in melomancy the more branches you'll find, deciding if you want to go for a more dangerous and dark one, a biomantic one or both. The more you progress, the nearer the great finale will be: since you'll have to battle the Great Composer!

What's been added in the v3.0.0? The Jazz Band: Find a new structure: The Inn! Many travelers talk about a mysterious jazz band called the Jazzy Dammys who play inside! Myths System: Their lovely pianist, Dan B., is a well-known myth-collector which will tell you myths around the world with great and mysterious prizes if you complete them! Animal Costumes: You can now sew costumes and headwear for your orchestra: spice up your musicians with tuxedos, caps, monocles, baseball jackets, and much more! New Animal: Meet the playful Sea Lions, whose talent with the drums will help you play new music! New crafting method: In order to bond with all the different animals in the world, you'll have to make Natural Recipes. Get yourself Jars and hang them on Jar Racks over some fuel and watch the different ingredients fuse in a spectacular manner! Koala Workers: Tired of farming? melomancing? sewing? You can now hire Koala Workers through an... interesting method which will help you with your tasks! New Sheet Music: There are 10 different songs now! JEI Compatibility: If you want a faster method of watching all the recipes, both Melomancy and Natural Recipes have JEI-compatibility now! And much more!

I'd also appreciate any sort of criticism. Please share your opinions, suggestions or any bugs that you find.
