Planned Additions

This mod is currently WIP, with more mobs and features planned to be added in a future update. Feedback or requests are welcome! (You can comment on the CurseForge page)

Below are some of the mobs planned to be added some time soon-ish.

• Crabs
• Jellyfish
• Stingrays
• Raven
• Bears
• Squirrels

Raccoons will also have more complex and unique behaviors in a future update. Some mobs, such as the Penguin, will also have skin variants in the future.

Known Issues

• Penguins and Owls are the only mobs that make sounds. All mobs will have sounds in the full release version
• Raccoon behaviors are not complete. More complex and unique behaviors will come soon.
• Chests opened by raccoons may sometimes get stuck open. This usually resolves itself when reloading the world or on breaking and replacing the chest.
