About this project
What does penguin by ARISE_APEX add?
These little guys bring a lot of charm to snowy biomes. They wander around, swim, look around curiously, and absolutely love ice. When they get moving fast enough on frozen ground, they slide like they were born for it.
After a while of roaming, the whole nearby flock lines up and marches in a straight file for a big trip across the land before going back to their normal wandering. It is honestly a little bit majestic.
You can breed them with Cod or Salmon, watch baby penguins hatch, and enjoy their custom GeckoLib animations for idle, walking, sliding, and head movement. They also drop feathers, lay eggs, and even have a throwable penguin egg item for extra chaos.
Features:
- Cute passive penguins
- Baby and adult variants
- GeckoLib animations
- Sliding on ice
- Straight-line flock marching
- Feather drops

Requirements:
