Pigeons

Adds pigeons that can send items to players. Part of Billey's Mobs now available as a standalone add-on.

Unlike Billey's Mobs, this add-on doesn't require the Beta APIs experimental toggle. However you should enable it anyway as it might be needed for other add-ons, and there's no downside to having it turned on.

Pigeons

Viewing This Info In-Game

You can view this information in-game by using a book or a feather on a pigeon.

General

Pigeons spawn in plains and are especially common in flower forests and birch forests.
They can be tamed with any kind of seeds, carrots, or bread.

Pooping

Pigeons poop randomly.
Their poop can be used to:
Craft bone meal.
- Boost pollinating mobs from the Billey's Mobs add-on (e.g., pill bugs and stick bugs).
Their poop shouldn't be an issue since it turns into its item form and then despawns quickly

Finding Apples

Tamed pigeons will find apples in trees if they are not made to sit.

Sending Items to Players

Pigeons can deliver items to other players. Here's how:
1. Craft a pigeon backpack:
  - Recipe: 2 string, 1 wool, and 2 leather.
2. Equip the backpack:
  - Use it on the pigeon.
3. Using the backpack:
  - Pet the pigeon (sneak + long tap, right-click, or use the pet button) while holding an item to store it in the backpack.
  - If the pigeon’s backpack is full, petting it while holding an item will make it drop its contents.
  - Pet it with an empty hand to select the player to send the pigeon to. (Players must be in the same dimension and not right next to you.)
4. Customization:
  - The pigeon backpack can be dyed by applying a dye to the pigeon wearing it.

Wandering

Use a stick on a pigeon to make it wander around instead of following you.

The ability to untame (give away) pigeons, put hats on them, and place them on your shoulder

If you download Billey's Mobs make sure to remove this add-on since they add the exact same pigeon mob and issues may occur.

Future Plans

Sending a pigeon will consume a small amount of experience, as the current mechanics are somewhat overpowered(this will be in BIlley's Mobs too).
