Description

<span style="color: #000000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">More Animals Mod</span></span>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">This mod adds new animals for you to hunt or nurture as you please, currently this mod includes:</span>

  • <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Ring-necked Pheasants which will spawn in grassy or shrubby temperate areas between 6 and 28 degrees C</span>
  • <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Wild Turkeys which also spawn in temperate areas, but forested ones</span>
  • <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Golden Pheasants that spawn in forested tropical areas between 12 and 40 degrees C</span>
  • <span style="font-size: 14pt;">Capercaillies that spawn in forested subarctic areas which between -26 and 10 degrees</span> C.

&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">All four game birds show distinct sexual dimorphism with the males having highly decorative plumage and distinct calls and the hens having much plainer plumage and vocalisations. Capercaillies display the largest difference between the body volume between the cock and hen with the hens being much smaller than the stout, wide males and the males produce more meat as a result.
Pheasants, Golden Pheasants, Capercaillies and Turkeys all provide more poultry meat and feathers than chickens (with the larger males producing more than the hens) and will eat grain from small troughs like chickens but will also eat grain dropped on the ground, you can employ this to lure wild birds into an enclosure.</span>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Versions before 1.5.0: This mod also adds a new nest box block which uses the recipe of the henbox, all birds can lay eggs in it and sit on it to incubate any fertile eggs held inside. The new nest box displays what species can use the nest box, what eggs are contained inside it, what species laid the eggs and whether the eggs are fertile or not when you move your mouse over the nestbox block. Any species can incubate eggs held within a nestbox as long as it's considered full (when it contains three eggs) regardless of what eggs are held within as long as at least one is fertile.</span>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Version 1.5.0 and up: The birds are now able to use the vanilla hen box, which likewise allows any combination of egg types to be incubated by any species of hen. Turkeys lay light speckled eggs, capercaillies lay dark speckled eggs, ring-neck pheasants lay blue-green eggs, and golden pheasants lay red-brown eggs.</span>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">When the eggs hatch the chicks which will grow up into poults after 7 days and the poults will be fully grown adults after a further 7 days requiring a total of two in-game weeks to fully mature.
Birds can be caught in basket traps like other small animals.

This mod is also compatible as of version 1.4.0 with CaptainOats' Butchering Mod! (Yes, it still works in 1.21)

This mod has been kindly maintained, updated and recompiled for 1.20 by Sekelsta, author of Truth and Beauty: Detailed Animals&nbsp;which you might find to be an interesting companion mod if more detailed husbandry and animal breeding is of interest to you, I believe that it is compatible with More Animals.
