Critters and Companions (Unofficial Fabric Port)

🦦 Critters and Companions 0.1.3 - Otter Love & Cozy Eggs

A very otter-focused update, with a little extra polish for the creative inventory. 🥚✨

🦦 Otters Feel Much Smarter Now

• 🐟 Otters now properly swim to the surface before eating fish.
• 🦪 Clams stay as a pearl-opening interaction and no longer trigger breeding.
• 💕 Adult otters now enter love mode only after finishing the fish-eating animation.
• 👶 Baby otters can eat fish at the surface with corrected floating height and animation behavior.
• 🌊 Otters search for valid calm-water surfaces before trying to eat.
• 🕳️ Otters handle underwater caves better and can path sideways or downward instead of forcing vertical ascent into ceilings.
• 🧊 Otters now ignore temporarily unreachable dropped food, such as fish sitting above blocked ice, instead of spinning forever.
• 🏝️ Otters can better step onto nearby shore blocks to reach food.
• 😮‍💨 Otters now use a 2400-tick air supply and only refill air at real breathable spots.
• 🚫 Fixed sealed underwater spaces incorrectly giving otters free air.
• 🫧 Fixed the “almost at the surface” case where otters could get stuck just below air.

🥚 New Spawn Egg Textures

• Added custom spawn egg textures for all Critters and Companions mobs.
• Creative inventory eggs now use dedicated artwork instead of borrowed vanilla egg icons.
• Credits added for the Modded Omelet resource pack artwork by L2.

🧰 Port Polish

• Improved otter navigation internals.
• Trimmed some pathing overhead.
• Kept the behavior closer to vanilla and the original mod where possible.

✅ Tested

• Build: ./gradlew build
• In-game checks across otter feeding, surfacing, drowning, cave movement, and creative spawn egg rendering.
