Mo'Creatures

Minecraft 1.21.1 · NeoForge

Original mod by DrZhark · Port to 1.21.1 / NeoForge by PedroPH19

Update

Fish Bowl: Back from the old versions. Craft one out of glass, dip it in water, then hold it next to a fishy to scoop it up - it swims around inside, and the colour you caught is the colour you see. Set the bowl down anywhere, carry it on your head, or tip the fish back into the sea. A pickaxe picks the bowl back up.

Fish: Fish were swimming sideways, far too fast, and kept drifting up out of the water. They swim properly now.

Piranhas: Piranhas bite anyone who gets in the water with them, and they hunt in shoals.

Jellyfish and Stingrays: Both sting swimmers who crowd them. Catch one in a Fish Net and it never stings you again.

Fish Net: The net works on every water creature again. Net one, let it back out, and it is yours to name.

Dolphins: Taming a dolphin means climbing on and hanging on while it does its best to throw you off. The rarer the dolphin, the longer it holds out - feed it raw fish first and it gives in sooner.

Rays: Tame a ray and you can ride it. There are no reins, so you go where it goes.

Sharks: A shark that gets hit turns on whoever hit it.

Birds: Birds walk about when they land instead of holding a flying pose, and their wings settle once they are on your shoulder.

Hearts: Hearts of Fire, Darkness and Undead drop twice as often now.

FIX: The Medallion crafts as a Medallion instead of a clock. Two leather on top, a gold ingot below.

FIX: The inside of the Kitty Bed is no longer see-through.

FIX: A cat's mood bubble floats above its head instead of inside it.

FIX: Rats no longer turn up in a fourth colour that looked exactly like the first.

Mo'Creatures

The world feels empty. Let's fix that.

Mo'Creatures fills Minecraft with over fifty creatures, each with its own way of being found, tamed, raised and ridden. Big cats stalk you at night. Wyverns circle overhead. A scorpion mother carries her brood on her back. Somewhere in the sky there's a horse that only exists because you bred two others and they both vanished making it.

This is DrZhark's classic mod, rebuilt for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge.

What's in it

Over 50 creatures, including:

Wild & tameable	Big cats (14 coats, cross-breedable), bears, elephants, ostriches, horses, wolves, foxes, boars, deer, goats, raccoons, turkeys, ducks, komodo dragons, crocodiles, snakes, kitties
Small & shoulder pets	Bunnies, mice, birds, turtles, snails, moles, rats
Aquatic	Dolphins, sharks, rays, jellyfish, and shoals of fish in every ocean and river
Insects	Bees, butterflies, dragonflies, fireflies, flies, ants, crickets, roaches, maggots
Hostile	Werewolves, ogres, wraiths, silver skeletons, golems, scorpions, ents, manticores
Mounts	Big cats, ostriches, komodos, pet scorpions, elephants, wyverns, and the whole horse family

Taming is not one button

Every species wants something different, and the mod tells you what:

• Bait food — melon for a turtle, seeds for a bird, wheat for a goat, raw fish for a kitty, raw meat for a big-cat cub

• The Medallion — a reusable gold-and-redstone charm for everything with no bait of its own

• Patience — a dolphin has to be fed until it trusts you; an elephant needs about five sugar lumps

• Bare hands — some creatures you simply pick up

Craft the CreaturePedia and every one of these rules is written down in-game, so you never have to leave for a wiki.

Horses are a whole mod on their own

Twenty base coats that cross-breed into new ones. Zebras that bolt unless you approach them on a good enough horse. Donkeys, mules, zonkeys.

Then it gets strange. Essences transform a grown, tamed horse:

• Fire turns a zorse into a Nightmare that leaves flame in its hoofprints

• Darkness makes a Bat Horse, or turns a pegasus dark

• Light raises a Nightmare into a Unicorn — and turns a Bat Horse into a Pegasus, but only above y=128

• Undead starts a horse decaying toward its skeleton form

Breed a Unicorn with a Pegasus and you get a Fairy Horse — but both parents disappear to make it. Fairy horses come in twelve colours and can be re-dyed.

Horses don't breed on a whim, either. Feed each of a pair a pumpkin, mushroom stew, cake or golden carrot, keep other horses away, and wait — a foal takes real time. Horse Amulets let you capture bone, ghost, fairy and pegasus horses and carry them in your pocket.

The Wyvern Lair

Craft a Staff of Portal and right-click to step into a dark realm of drifting islands where wyverns rule. Twelve wyvern breeds live there. Take one's egg, hatch it, raise it, saddle it — and you have a flying mount that carries a chest.

Right-click the staff again at the quartz portal to come home. The Staff of Teleport blinks you wherever you're looking.

Eggs, drops and gear

• Snakes, komodos, pet scorpions and wyverns drop an egg when killed — that egg is how you get a tame one

• Manticores never tame. The wild one only ever drops its egg, and the egg hatches one already yours

• Kill a scorpion mother and her brood scatters — the only source of pet scorpions

• Craft armour and swords from chitin and scorpion stings (four elemental sets), plus fur, hide and reptile hide armour

• Whips command your pets, Pet Amulets and Fish Nets carry them, Scrolls free them or transfer ownership

Installation

1. Install NeoForge 21.1.234 or newer for Minecraft 1.21.1

2. Drop the jar in your mods folder

3. Both client and server

About this port

This is a faithful port, not a remake. Behaviour was rebuilt against the original 12.0.5 source so that creatures act the way you remember — the same taming rules, the same breeding genetics, the same drop tables.

Not everything is in yet. Currently missing:

• Kitty furniture (KittyBed / LitterBox) and the cat breeding cycle that depends on them

• The Ogre Lair structure (the ogre blocks exist; the dungeon generation does not)

• Wyvern Lair floating towers and the twin-suns sky

• A handful of ambient details from the original

These are being worked on. Bug reports are genuinely useful — please include your NeoForge version and what you were doing.
