🔧 Configuration

Progression and visibility options are available via Forge config:

• Enable or disable progression-based discovery like the Terraria Bestiary
• Customize UI behavior or filter entities for players
• Add or override information using datapacks

Information about structures or special spawn conditions is not possible to read from the game - hence the possibility to supplement this information

---

📦 Compatibility

• Supports modded entities and loot tables.
• Fully server-compatible (Forge).
• Does not require other mods or dependencies.

If there are mobs missing you can either add their category into monsterCategories or their name "minecraft:sheep" just directly into the entityIncludeList in the config.

You are allowed to use this mod in any modpack.
