Features:
All species have a unique pelt that can be used to craft hide, feathers and a taxidermied full body. Eggs in this pack can be hit to drop an item form that can be used in recipes, though it will reset their generation count. Eggs must be in entity form to hatch.
And a big thanks to everyone who gave feedback and assistance!
Known Bugs: The water behavior toggle currently isn't working, so penguins will often perform land behaviors in water. As such, they are currently set to head to land immediately after spawning. This will be changed when this base game feature is finalized.
FAQ
Q: How do I domesticate the animals in this pack?
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.
