Adds obscure & endangered animals to minecraft

Logo

Welcome to Koopa's Critters!

Mod requires Geckolib!

Koopa's Critters adds around 45+ lesser known and/or endangered species to your minecraft world! Currently Koopa's Critters is being worked on 1.20.1 Forge & 1.21.1 Neoforge (Though on Curseforge there is old 1.12.2 & 1.16.5 versions from 2020-2022.) The mod is survival friendly with animals spawning and some having features and items. Unique behavior can also be seen between some species such as predation. Along with animals, Koopa's Critters also adds a few natural features such as Kopje Trees & Kopje Granite in Savvanahs. Some Decorations include several new paintings!

The mod can be configured to enable and disable specific animals and more. (Note you can use a mod like Forge Config Screens to edit the config settings ingame!)

I hope our mod can help spread awareness on lesser known species especially highly endangered species!
