About this project

What does Wildex Bestiary add?

Wildex Bestiary

Wildex adds an in-game bestiary that documents creatures in your world as you encounter them.

Mobs are discovered naturally through gameplay by fighting them or observing them with a Spyglass. Once discovered, their information becomes available inside a dedicated book-style UI. No external wiki lookups, no spoilers, no background world scanning.

Wildex works with vanilla and modded mobs alike and is built to fit cleanly into large modpacks.

Crafting Recipe

Features

Discovery by:

  • Killing mobs
  • Observing mobs with a Spyglass
  • Take a photo of a mob (if Exposure Mod is installed)
  • Receiving a Bestiary entry from another player (Multiplayer)
  • Analyzing items in the analyzer block

Discovery tracking per player, per world

Technical / non-relevant entities excluded automatically

Bestiary UI includes:

  • Searchable mob list
  • 3D Model Preview
  • Stats and attributes
  • Loot/XP ranges based on real drops
  • Spawn biomes/structures and dimensions
  • Additional mob information (weakness, breeding, taming)

Completion reward:

  • Discover all trackable mobs to unlock Spyglass Pulse
  • Temporarily highlights nearby mobs through walls

Multiplayer / server behavior:

  • Progress stored server-side
  • Multiplayer-safe, player-specific progression
  • Request-based syncing with minimal network overhead

Extensive configuration options via config files

Compatibility:

  • Works with modded mobs and dimensions
  • Safely reads modded loot tables
  • Does not modify entity behavior or spawning

Blocks:

Pedestal - Can hold a Wildex and displays a hologram of all detected mobs. Decorative and multiplayer safe. A redstone signal disables the hologram.

Analyzer - Can analyze an item when activated by a redstone signal. If the item is a loot drop from an undiscovered mob, the entry in Wildex will be unlocked.

Pedestal+Analyzer

Integrations (1.21.1)

Wildex supports optional integration with:

  • KubeJS
  • FTB Quests
  • Exposure
  • Cobblemon
  • Accessorify

Setup details and examples are available in the GitHub README.

The core idea for this mod was inspired by Araxer’s Bestiary Mod. I built my own version because I needed a bestiary for NeoForge 1.21.1
