About this project

What does CozyBirds add?

CozyBirds

Minecraft's skies and villages have always felt quiet and empty. CozyBirds changes that forever.

CozyBirds is a Vanilla+ atmospheric creature mod that breathes natural life, charm, and movement into your world. Watch flocks of birds weave across the sunset, listen to gentle cooing as you walk through a bustling village, and see wildlife make your builds feel truly lived in.


Bring Your World to Life

The City Pigeon

The quintessential village companion.

  • A True Town Resident: Pigeons gather naturally around cobblestone streets, plazas, and village centers, pecking at the ground and keeping you company while you build.
  • Three Natural Variants: Encounter classic City Blue-Bars, dark Slate, and pale Ash pigeons roaming your settlements.
  • Full of Personality: From their iconic head-bobbing walk to their gentle puffed-chest cooing and idle preening, they look and feel genuinely alive.
  • Scatter on Sprint: Sneak up to watch them up close, or sprint straight through a flock to watch them scatter into the sky in a burst of flapping wings.

The European Magpie

A sleek, intelligent bird of the plains and forests.

  • Breathtaking Sky Murmurations: Look up! Magpies gather into magnificent flocks, sweeping and diving across the clouds in fluid, mesmerizing aerial dances that make looking at the sky unforgettable.
  • Attracted to Shiny Treasures: True to folklore, magpies have a weakness for shiny loot. Hold up a gold or iron nugget to catch their eye and draw them down from the trees.
  • Canopy Watchers: When they are not putting on a show in the sky, you will find them perched high up in tree branches, watching the world pass by.

Wildlife That Loves Your Builds

Most creature mods drop animals that wander aimlessly on flat dirt. In CozyBirds, birds actively interact with the architecture you build:

  • They roost naturally along roof edges, stairs, and slabs.
  • They perch gracefully atop fences, stone walls, and gates.
  • They balance on horizontal chains and hang around illuminated lanterns.

Whether you are designing a cozy medieval village, a cottage in the woods, or a massive castle, CozyBirds makes your architecture feel like a living, breathing home.


Why You Will Love CozyBirds

  • Pure Atmosphere, Zero Bloat: No complicated systems, no dozens of useless clutter items filling your chests. Just pure, organic ambiance that feels like it was always part of the game.
  • Vanilla Friendly: Any feathers dropped can be used directly for arrows, books, and brushes just like standard vanilla feathers.
  • Butter-Smooth Performance: Heavily optimized under the hood. Have dozens of birds flying overhead alongside your favorite shaders without sacrificing your framerate.
  • Modpack Ready: Fully compatible with Sodium, Iris, and all major optimization mods.
