Buddies!

Buddies v2.4.0 The "Tricks & Treats" Update!

It's that spooky time of year! Time to grab some treats and get ready for the tricks up my sleeve!

This Buddies Update: completely overhauls the Buddy breeding mechanics, adds 4 NEW Festive Autumn Mobs, adds Pet Foods & Treats (making caring for your Buddies easier than ever), reworks the Small Animal Net, fixes TONS of Icky Bugs, adds several new items, & tons more just waiting to be discovered!

New Mobs:

•Turkey - These Festive friends can be found roaming forests & flowery places! Every 5 minutes, they drop 1-3 Turkey Feathers (an item that will have many uses in an upcoming update), and when slain they drop Raw Turkey. Raw turkey can be used in several recipes and when cooked offers the same hunger as Steak! Additionally, when the end of November comes around, you'll be able to combine a Cooked Turkey and vegetables to make a Turkey Platter, which is a placeable food item (similar to cake).

•Fawn - These winter-y Buddies live in the Forest, and are quite friendly indeed! At the moment they do not have any drops, and are meant to add ambiance to your worlds! Fawns are young Deer, and these Fawn are inspired by an endangered species known as Key Deer (how cool!).

•Gerbil - These little critters are skittish and quick, so be sure to approach them slowly! They can be found in warmer biomes like the Badlands! Once tamed, they can be picked up and carried around like most Buddies!

•Tarantula - Although spiders are typically spooky and scary, these Tarantulas are small, cute, and friendly! Like many other buddies, you can pick them up and carry them around! When in a Cobweb, Tarantulas will produce 1-2 Spider Silk every 5 minutes! Spider Silk can be used to craft String & more Cobwebs!

Critter Breeder:

Looks like there's a new block in town!

Similar to the Cricket Canister, this block has its' very own CUSTOM GUI! The Critter Breeder will passively breed *most* (excluding reptiles/larger mobs for now), so long as the Buddy has a proper mate, the correct food, a water bottle, and some Pet Bedding (a new item added in this version). Mobs that are currently compatible with the Critter Breeder are: all small Rat variants, Mice, Hampsters, Hedgehogs, Gerbils, Sable-Mask Ferrets, & Albino Ferrets (with more coming soon!). Bred Buddies will give you a baby variant of that mob, which you must carry in order for them to grow up.

Pet Foods & Treats:

[Pet Foods] are a more broad, catch-all approach to taming/feeding buddies! This should hopefully alleviate some of the headache involved with taming Buddies. There Pet Foods currently added to this mod are: Rodent Food, Ferret Food, Reptile Food, Tortoise Food, Dog Food, & Cat Food! (JEI is recommended for all recipes!!!)

[Pet Treats] are special item you can give to your Buddies when they behave! There are currently 2 treat types: Doggie Treats & Kitty Treats! When you give a Treat to your Buddy, they'll give you tons of love, make some happy noises, and give you a little bit of EXP! WOW!

Small Animal Net Changes:

Small Animal Nets are now single use instead of having 4 durability, but you now receive more nets from crafting and the nets can stack to 16 instead of 1!

Other Minor Changes:

•Most Buddies' AI was modified due to the addition of the Breeder.

•Leafy Greens now stack and you get more from each craft!

•Fish Flakes now give you more from each craft!

•All Crab types can now be fed Fish Flakes.

•And more...?

Bug Fixes:

•[FIXED] Savannah Statue was using the wrong breaking particles.

•[FIXED] Could not feed mouse without picking it up.

•[FIXED] Small Animal Net would sometimes take extra damage for no reason.

•[FIXED] Issue with nametaging a "Creamsicle" Gecko.

•[FIXED] About a dozen other small bugs and errors not worth mentioning.

There might be a couple things I forgot to mention, but this should hopefully be everything! JEI is highly recommended and remember to check out my other mods!
