Better Animals+ would be, in short, a mod that adds new mobs to the game, including hostile, friendly, and even tamable. If you've played Minecraft for any amount of time, you have probably noticed how bland and instinctive vanilla mobs can get, this mod aims to fix that, without going overkill but also while staying pretty unique. Here's a small sample of some of the mobs:

Hopefully that has piqued your interest, and in addition, I've been working on plenty more models and textures, and have a ton more planned, here's all of them so far here, along with a brief rundown of how that mob will act, what it will drop, and where it will spawn:

The album above is also constantly updated, so check back frequently!

If someone would be willing to code this mod is much appreciated, though I do request the following:
- For 1.12.2+ only
- Proper OreDict naming for certain items

- Proper BiomeDict for compat reasons

- I would prefer no dependencies or coremods, but if absolutely necessary, they're ok, given they're lightweight.

If there is an interest in this mod or my other mod, Better Animals, let me know and I can make a Discord Chat for us to interact!

looks dope, other than the parrots and a few small flaws with some of the other creatures imo.

If you could tell me what the problems are, I'll try to fix em

hmm.. it's less so a problem and more so just a bit unrealistic- like 3 foot long spiders going for very agile mobile creatures such as players. With the parrots it's probably them as a whole, or at least the textures are quite bad or rushed in comparison to the others(or at least the mitchells and the glossies, which-), the wings being a bit weirdly done and t continue with the which, most glossies don't have the colouring pallete as featured in the textures. But other than that they're nice, for just variants.

The textures for the parrots look rushed simply due to the small size of the models compared to other mobs, as for the glossies, they're meant to be a mix of both male and female ones, with the yellow spots coming from the female, and the solid red-orange parts on the tails coming from males, in order to keep up with the androgynous/hermaphroditic motif of vanilla mobs (i.e. cows having udders but also horns). As for the wings, that's more due to the parrots being more upright compared to the lammers or similar, but I can play around with the wings to see what I can do.

Imo the wings should start getting slowly- cut? down... starting at the second part of them

I'm going for a somewhat realistic scale for the wings (as well as for the other birds to come later), but I think simply reposing the wings will fix the weird jutting out

How about some foxes?

First of many variants.

However, be careful, as not all foxes are as they seem...

Still Need programming help? I can help you with that. I'm pretty good at it.

If you would be willing, that would be great! Send me a PM and I'll get a discord thrown together, though do you have any examples of your work?

???

Soon ^tm

Can't believe I almost forgot this but, BA+ is out!
