About this project

What does Brown Bears add?

Brown Bears

This mod is super simple. It adds one thing: brown bears.

They live in the Dappled Forest and act exactly like polar bears. Same model, same sounds, same behavior, new brown fur.

That's the whole mod

  • Brown bears and cubs spawn in the Dappled Forest, and nowhere else
  • They leave you alone until you hit one or get too close to a cub
  • A spawn egg is included

No config. No commands. No items to craft. No new blocks.

Install

  1. Install Fabric for Minecraft 26.3
  2. Install Fabric API
  3. Drop this one file in your mods folder

Works in singleplayer. On a server, install it on the server and on every player's game.

Also by me: raccoons

Dappled Forest Raccoons adds raccoons to the same forest. They wash their food before they eat it. It is a separate download.
