This mod adds the Greater Capybara into the game
They can spawn in swamp, savanna or jungle biomes.
They are primarily crepuscular, but their overall activity pattern is closer to cathemeral (meaning they take short rests throughout the day)
You can tame, feed and breed them with vegetable or fruit items as they are herbivores.
Females are a bit larger then males and gender is needed when breeding them.
Also when a pup is attacked then the nearby female(s) will get aggressive towards the attacker (after 1 attack they wont continue to attack, just like bees)
They love to socialize so if there is an animal nearby they will sometimes walk up to it and sit down, but they prefer to sit next to other capybaras more.
And if they are attacked they will warn nearby other capys and they will run away if the attacker gets close to them.
If you tame one then it wont fight against your enemies, but it will check if there is any nearby mob targeting its owner, and if yes then it will redirect the targeting to itself to protect its owner.
But dont worry as they are tough and will run away from the enemy in a panic and restore 1 health every 2 second. (Like that owner has time to think up a plan fast to defeat its enemy)
Because they love melons and pumpkins, they will walk up to those blocks and eat them leaving left their drop, except if they are damaged, then might eat the melon slice. (or teaming them up with common raccoons will make them good farm workers)
They can also eat up other dropped food items from the ground or just grass like the sheep and restore a little bit of its lost hp.
When its daytime they will prefer to go into the water to cool themselves down (they are good swimmers).
Just like in my other animal mods the mobs have 3 type of behavior that can be changed when interaction with them (a message shows up so you know which behavior it is using)
(wandering - resting - following)
If tamed they wont go naturally in their resting mode,
instead you can force them to stay at a place when put in resting mode.
They spawn in the savanna, jungle and swamp biomes.
(Swamp, Mangrove Swamp, Jungle, Sparse Jungle, Savanna)
You can change this and other spawn settings
by editing the json files in the jars data -> biome tags and biome modifier folders
or via resource pack,
but in fabric some spawn settings like the weight, min, max have to be edited in the config file
