🌾 Fauna Garden
Plant a seed, wait, and a baby animal grows out of the ground.
✨ Overview
Fauna Garden adds crops that slowly grow baby animals. Plant the seed of an animal on grass, wait for it to ripen, and a baby animal appears. Seeds exist for any mob with a spawn egg, and there are special variants for water, the Nether and lava.

🎯 Features
🌱 Animal Seeds
One seed type for every animal. The growing crop shows the animal and changes as it ripens.
🌊 Anemonemals
The underwater variant: plant them in water to grow aquatic animals.
🔥 Animal Shrooms and Magnemones
Nether soil grows animal shrooms, and magnemones grow under lava, so even Nether mobs can be farmed.
🌼 Animal Pollen
Use pollen on an animal to turn it into the matching seeds. Grass can rarely drop pollen, so you can start collecting without any command.
🧪 Animal Fertilizer
A bone meal style item made for these crops: it advances the growth by 1 to 3 stages. Craft it with bone meal and rotten flesh (makes 2).
🎨 Simple Fauna Garden Resource Pack
An optional built-in resource pack with simpler crop models. Enable it from the resource pack screen.
⚙️ Configurable
Choose which animals have seeds through entity tags, what pollen does to the animal, and whether grass, sea grass and nether sprouts drop seeds or spores. Forge and NeoForge use a server config file; Fabric uses config/fauna_garden.json.
