What's new

Friendly Animals 1.4

  • Adds adult and baby pelicans with fish feeding/breeding, surface swimming, shore movement and short adult leisure flights.
  • Adds JourneyMap images for opossums, owls, seals and pelicans, including texture-name compatibility for older JourneyMap versions.
  • Adds optional Regions Unexplored habitats and matching peat/silt ground support on Forge 1.20.1 and NeoForge 26.1.2. Other targets retain their existing habitats. No RU or JourneyMap hard dependency.
  • Revises adult and baby opossums in Blender using the supplied reference images, retaining the reviewed fur and giving each foot one connected solid mesh. Adds distance-driven walking and separate awake-rest/sleep transitions.
  • Keeps the opossum playing-dead response to nearby threats, with cooldown and damage/hazard cancellation, plus existing feeding and care. Other approved animals and voices remain unchanged. Flamingo is not included; squirrel remains disabled.

Five separate builds: Forge 1.20.1; NeoForge 1.21.4, 26.1.2 and 26.3; Fabric 26.3. Use the file matching your Minecraft version and loader. Fabric requires matching Fabric API (tested 0.164.0+26.3) and Forge Config API Port (tested 26.3.1). Jade and JEI remain optional. Tested loader minimums have no upper cap; future compatibility is not guaranteed. Fabric Loader 0.20.1 retains its upstream non-stable designation.

Graphical JourneyMap rendering and the user's installed modpack have not been tested for this update. RU habitat support does not guarantee an absolute spawn frequency.
