About this project

What does Dark Menagerie add?

This mod was created basically on a whim and out of curiosity with Minecraft's handling of entities and their rendering. Over the weekend I made a couple of ideas and just took the ones I thought worked.

The basic idea is to add a bunch of mobs to Minecraft that would fit in with vanilla and not be distracting. I also wish to give each mob their own quirks, traits and even some special AI methods.

The current mobs added are

  • Cultist of the Dark Lepus
  • Energy Ghost
  • Elephant
  • Fire ant
  • Mummy
  • Field Mouse
  • Mantikitten
  • Living Armor
  • Infested Villager

Check out the images section for screenshots of these mobs

More are planned for the future.
