The aim of our mod is to enhance the Minecraft experience with regard to animals. It adds 27 new species. We aim to maintain a vanilla-friendly style in terms of models, textures, and animations.

switch access Mechanics

Our animals are divided into three categories: passive, neutral, and aggressive. Passive mobs are friendly and will not attack under any circumstances. Neutral mobs will not attack unless provoked, but will seek revenge if harmed. Aggressive mobs will try to hunt you down.

To fight these terrifying creatures, we provide a new weapon: the Sleep Arrow. It can be used to temporarily neutralize certain mobs. It can be bought from the Hunter or crafted using poisons obtained from our mobs. Another useful item is Animal Transporter, which allows you to take tamed and sleeping animals with you. It can be bought from the Hunter or found in certain structures.

We aim to make Minecraft animals diverse by providing some for each biome. We add mammals, birds, reptiles and insects. Land and water creatures. We work on our own spawn system to balance it for better experience.

Cube Animals adds camouflage enchant that can make equipment and armor invisible to others + over 65 items including food and weapons.

...and much more!

More than one-third of our animals can be tamed and provide unique mechanics, such as powerful charging, intelligent external inventories, and even enchanting books, among others.

The mechanics of all animals, items, and the Hunter are described in the Zoological Guide, which you receive at the beginning of the game. It can also be found in some structures and bought from the Hunter.
