Toned Down Predators Fork

<h1>Original mod by Gabone</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I really liked this mod, and I could not find anything on whether or not the author was going to update it (They aren't on the discord, and haven't said anything on moddb). Since they were all json patches, I decided to fix it up for 1.22, since the update broke it.</p> <p>I have done some limited testing, but my edits to fix the patches <em>seem</em>&nbsp;to be working right? If not, let me know.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I also redrew the thumbnail because fuck AI 👍</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>If the original mod author wants this taken down, then I will do so.</p> <p>Original mod can be found <a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/toneddownpredators">here</a></p> <p>===============================================================================</p> <h1><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:</strong></span></h1> <h1 id="toned-down-predators" class="code-line" dir="auto" data-line="0">Toned Down Predators</h1> <p class="code-line" dir="auto" data-line="2">&nbsp;</p> <p class="code-line" dir="auto" data-line="2">Wolves and bears behave more realistically - they give warnings, respond to hunger and temperature, and can be avoided with awareness.
