About this project

What does Frikinzi's Fauna add?

Are you bored by the lack of wildlife in Minecraft?

Are you looking to build a zoo and want to fill your aviaries and aquariums?

Did you always want a golden eagle or barn owl to fight beside you in survival mode?

Then this is the mod for you!

Frikinzi's Fauna (for 1.12.2, 1.16.5 and 1.18.2) adds a variety of real life animals to Minecraft that are not usually found in other animal mods with a focus on avian and water creatures. Over 500 species are represented! You can find many of these animals while exploring the jungles, forests, tundras, wastelands, and coasts in your Minecraft world, and tame and breed many of them!

Become a true naturalist! Discover, catalog, and learn about hundreds of real-world birds and aquatic creatures in your very own Field Guide. Can you find them all? (1.20.1)

FAQ:

Can you please add x bird or x variant?

Feel free to make suggestions in ⁠the suggestions channel in my server.

My game crashed!

First, check that you installed Geckolib and the correct version (3.0.0+ for 1.12.2/1.16/1.18, and using the forge version not the fabric version). If there is another problem, post in the ⁠issues channel in the Discord or on the GitHub issue tracker.

Will you make the mod for Minecraft version xxx?

Please be patient. Updates will be done when they're done. I have a life outside of Minecraft.
