Hellooo, I'm Niko. Long time minecrafter and even longer time mantis breeder. I'd love a mod that implements praying mantises into the game, based on real species, that you can breed and hatch the babies. Maybe with terrariums, different requirements, rarities, etc. I'd do it myself, but, I have absolutely no coding or modeling experience at all whatsoever. Lol, I can even throw in some $$ for whoever does it. I'm desperate for this mod
I know that these would be a bit hard to model, but if someone could do it you would be making the entire mantidforum (a forum for mantis breeders) very happy
Forgot to add, maybe there could be flies/crickets/roaches for feeding???
It's recently dawned on me that absolutely no one wants to make this mod. Ill make one more last-ditch effort to make it sound even mildly interesting.
Features:
Adds real life praying mantis species to the game, which are tameable and breedable.
Mantises can fight for you and guard you.
You can feed them different insects caught with a net.
You can design terrariums to put your mantises in. Three different sizes (small medium large) and are customized with different flowers and plants.
Maybe add beetles and spiders later on
Species suggestions on the first post ^^
Tamed with dead insects.
Can be fed honey to make them stronger. Maybe implement beehives.
I'd love to have as many different species as possible.
Mantises can be mated and bred, they then produce oothecae (egg sacs) which take a fixed amount of time to hatch.
Heat lamps to monitor heat.
Spray bottle to monitor humidity.
Maybe some kind of trading/selling system.
Different rarities.
Maybe have a mantis encyclopedia or something that tells where to find, what to feed and how to care for a certain mantis.
Can collect dead mantises and display them in cases.
Mantis medicine to cure black death and the likes.
Need modders to make this for me, or at least teach me java XD
Some suggestions for species; Pseudocreobrotra wahlbergii (spiny flower mantis), Hymenopus coronatus (orchid mantis), Mantis religiosa (european mantis), Tenodera sinensis (chinese mantis), Popa spurca (african twig mantis), Gongylus gongylodes (violin mantis) and Idolomantis diabolica (giant devils flower mantis).

Thanks in advance,
