Mo'Creatures

Minecraft 1.21.1  ·  NeoForge

Kitties: Cats have their whole life back. Win over a stray by dropping raw fish for it, then tame it with a medallion. They have moods, get hungry, use their bed and litter box, chase a wool ball, sleep at night, climb trees and get stuck up there, ride on your shoulder, and raise litters of kittens.

Undead Horses: Zombie horses now rot away in stages before collapsing into skeleton horses. An Essence of Light resets the rot and brings a skeleton back.

Ghost Horses: Killing a tamed magic or pure-bred horse can leave a ghost foal behind. A ghost from a pegasus keeps its wings, and ghosts are properly see-through now.

Zebras: Zebras spawn in savannas, deserts and badlands.

Horses - Coats: Only the wild coats turn up in the world again. The rarer coats are breeding rewards once more.

Horses - Night Horses: The hostile night horses keep their undead, skeleton, bat or nightmare look instead of passing for ordinary horses.

Horses - Whip: Cracking the whip while riding sends the horse into a gallop, and it needs a moment to catch its breath afterwards.

Elephants: Elephants no longer turn up already dressed for a parade. Mammoths belong to the snow, african elephants to sandy country and indian elephants to the jungle. The Elephant Garment finally does something, and a tusked elephant you are riding clears blocks out of its path.

Ostriches: Ostriches raise their young from eggs again, and chicks grow to the right size.

Turtles: Name a turtle Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo or Rafael and it puts on the mask and carries the matching weapon.

Ants: Ants pick up food you drop and carry it around on their backs.

Goats: Female goats can be milked. Try it on a male and he takes it personally - and males square up to each other, too.

Mice and Snails: Mice run up walls, and snails pull into their shell whenever anything comes near.

FIX: Ostrich legs no longer come apart from the body.

The world feels empty. Let's fix that.

Mo'Creatures fills Minecraft with over fifty creatures, each with its own way of being found, tamed, raised and ridden. Big cats stalk you at night. Wyverns circle overhead. A scorpion mother carries her brood on her back. Somewhere in the sky there's a horse that only exists because you bred two others and they both vanished making it.

This is DrZhark's classic mod, rebuilt for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge.

Over 50 creatures, including:

Every species wants something different, and the mod tells you what:

•    Bait food — melon for a turtle, seeds for a bird, wheat for a goat, raw fish for a kitty, raw meat for a big-cat cub

•    The Medallion — a reusable gold-and-redstone charm for everything with no bait of its own

•    Patience — a dolphin has to be fed until it trusts you; an elephant needs about five sugar lumps

•    Bare hands — some creatures you simply pick up

Craft the CreaturePedia and every one of these rules is written down in-game, so you never have to leave for a wiki.

Twenty base coats that cross-breed into new ones. Zebras that bolt unless you approach them on a good enough horse. Donkeys, mules, zonkeys.

Then it gets strange. Essences transform a grown, tamed horse:

•    Fire turns a zorse into a Nightmare that leaves flame in its hoofprints

•    Darkness makes a Bat Horse, or turns a pegasus dark

•    Light raises a Nightmare into a Unicorn — and turns a Bat Horse into a Pegasus, but only above y=128

•    Undead starts a horse decaying toward its skeleton form

Breed a Unicorn with a Pegasus and you get a Fairy Horse — but both parents disappear to make it. Fairy horses come in twelve colours and can be re-dyed.

Horses don't breed on a whim, either. Feed each of a pair a pumpkin, mushroom stew, cake or golden carrot, keep other horses away, and wait — a foal takes real time. Horse Amulets let you capture bone, ghost, fairy and pegasus horses and carry them in your pocket.

Craft a Staff of Portal and right-click to step into a dark realm of drifting islands where wyverns rule. Twelve wyvern breeds live there. Take one's egg, hatch it, raise it, saddle it — and you have a flying mount that carries a chest.

Right-click the staff again at the quartz portal to come home. The Staff of Teleport blinks you wherever you're looking.

•    Snakes, komodos, pet scorpions and wyverns drop an egg when killed — that egg is how you get a tame one

•    Manticores never tame. The wild one only ever drops its egg, and the egg hatches one already yours

•    Kill a scorpion mother and her brood scatters — the only source of pet scorpions

•    Craft armour and swords from chitin and scorpion stings (four elemental sets), plus fur, hide and reptile hide armour

•    Whips command your pets, Pet Amulets and Fish Nets carry them, Scrolls free them or transfer ownership

1.  Install NeoForge 21.1.234 or newer for Minecraft 1.21.1

2.  Drop the jar in your mods folder

3.  Both client and server

This is a faithful port, not a remake. Behaviour was rebuilt against the original 12.0.5 source so that creatures act the way you remember — the same taming rules, the same breeding genetics, the same drop tables.

Not everything is in yet. Currently missing:

•    Kitty furniture (KittyBed / LitterBox) and the cat breeding cycle that depends on them

•    The Ogre Lair structure (the ogre blocks exist; the dungeon generation does not)

•    Wyvern Lair floating towers and the twin-suns sky

•    A handful of ambient details from the original

These are being worked on. Bug reports are genuinely useful — please include your NeoForge version and what you were doing.

•    DrZhark — creator of Mo'Creatures. This mod is his; the port only moves it forward a few Minecraft versions.

•    PedroPH19 — 1.21.1 / NeoForge port.
