Due to their large size, these animals have a high amount of health and a large amount of resources, hunting them head on is not recommended. However, falls are especially hazardous to these animals and luring them over cliffs and into pits is an effective way of harming them.
Features:
All species have a unique pelt and horns that can be used to craft hide, head mounts and taxidermied full body.
Rhinos can be domesticated over time, though pose a significant threat to the player until they reach generation 3 when they’ll no longer attack the player.
Due to their poor eyesight and skittish nature, rhinos are disturbed by creatures of rot and rust and will lash out at them.
Occasionally a fly covered rhino carcass will spawn, blocking rhino spawns in the area. They have a chance to spawn when first arriving in an area or when all rhinos have been killed off from the area, allowing players to locally wipe out rhinos. Destroying the carcass of the respective type will allow more rhinos to spawn again and some carnivores and scavengers may destroy them as well, so if you want rhino spawns prevented in an area protect these carcasses.
And a big thanks to everyone who gave feedback and assistance!
A: Get a male and female adult of a given species within 10 blocks, wait until the female is ready to mate and feed her the sufficient number of portions and the male at least one. Different species require different amounts and can be found in the entity file under the multiply section. Animals can be fed either by dropping items on the ground or by using the large trough. The small trough is not supported at this time due to patching formats. Each species diet can be found in this mod's description or in their entity file under the diet section. After 10 generations, entities stop attacking the player and after 10 generations they will no longer flee the player. Only the mother's generation matters for progressing generations.
Q: Why so many animal packs? Can't you make one giant one?
A: The combined size of this series exceeds the Mod data base's file upload size limit and therefore could not be hosted on this site, making it extremely difficult for servers to use. What's more, I don't know just how large certain clade file sizes will get as new features come out and I want to ensure they don't need to be split in the future, as that may cause considerable server issues. Whenever mod packs are implemented, or if there are other resources for creating a more organized bundle, I will do so.
Q: Is this mod safe to add and remove to an existing world?
A: Yes, this mod series is safe to add and remove. Items from this mod that have been placed will be invisible or appear as question blocks if the mod is removed but can be safely broken.
