All of the adult birds can be fed in order to get them to place nests. These nests count as entities and can be broken, dropping eggs. While the eggs are in item form they will slowly rot, but can be used for incredibly satiating meals. While on the ground, they slowly grow and will eventually hatch into baby birds.
Features:
All species have a unique pelt that can be used to craft hide, feathers and a taxidermied full body.
Occasionally a fly covered giant moa carcass will spawn, blocking giant moa spawns in the area. They have a chance to spawn when first arriving in an area or when all giant moa have been killed off from the area, allowing players to locally wipe out giant moa. Destroying the carcass of the respective type will allow more giant moa to spawn again and some carnivores and scavengers may destroy them as well, so if you want giant moa spawns prevented in an area protect these carcasses.
And a big thanks to everyone who gave feedback and assistance!
A: The animals in this mod can not be domesticated, as the nest blocks their generation progression. You can breed them however. 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. The female will create a nest that, after a sufficient time will generate babies if loaded in the world, or the nest can be broken for eggs that when placed will guaranteed hatch into babies after a set amount of time.
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.
