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
- Install Fabric for Minecraft 26.3
- Install Fabric API
- 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.
