General description
The aim of our mod is to enhance the Minecraft experience with regard to animals. It adds 24+ new species. We aim to maintain a vanilla-friendly style in terms of models, textures, and animations. However, this does not mean it is boring — the mod combines interesting mechanics with high visual quality. It is still under development, so new animals will be added over time.

Mechanics
Our animals are divided into three categories: passive, neutral, and aggressive. Passive mobs are friendly and will not attack under any circumstances. Neutral mobs will not attack unless provoked, but will seek revenge if harmed. Aggressive mobs will try to hunt you down.
To fight these terrifying creatures, we provide a new weapon: the
Sleep Arrow. It can be used to temporarily neutralize certain mobs. It can be bought from the Hunter or crafted using poisons obtained from our mobs. Another useful item is
Animal Transporter, which allows you to take tamed and sleeping animals with you. It can be bought from the Hunter or found in certain structures.
More than one-third of our animals can be tamed and provide unique mechanics, such as powerful charging, intelligent external inventories, and even enchanting books, among others.
The mechanics of all animals, items, and the Hunter are described in the Zoological Guide, which you receive at the beginning of the game. It can also be found in some structures and bought from the Hunter.
Compatibility
Our mod is compatible with Biomes O' Plenty (not required to play).
Cube Animals for Fabric require Fabric API.
