About this project
What does Koopa's Critters add?
1.20.1 Port is in the works!!!
Koopa's Critters adds around 30+ rather obscure animals to Minecraft based on species. Most of these obscure species and are endangered or threatened in the wild, some even are possibly extinct or on the verge of extinction! My hopes with this project is to spread public awareness of some of these species in order to help them get more recognized for more push for conservation! The mod also includes a new tree type, and a few naturally spawning structures. Animals can naturally spawn in the wild!
1.20.1+ Requires Geckolib!!!
1.16.5 has cross compatability with Natural Decor Mod!
