Mo' Creatures Reborn - Version 2.0.0 (NeoForge 1.21.1)

Welcome to Version 2.0.0 of Mo' Creatures Reborn! This major release brings an extensive overhaul to all mountable mobs, fixes longstanding interaction and taming bugs, introduces universal saddle and shears mechanics, adds creative spawn eggs, and brings custom flight animations.

🐎 Mounts & Riding Overhaul

• Universal Saddle Support: You can now use both Mo' Creatures Crafted Saddles (mocreatures:crafted_saddle) and vanilla Minecraft Saddles (minecraft:saddle) interchangeably on all rideable mobs.
• Unsaddling with Shears: Sneak + Right-Clicking with Shears on any saddled or equipped mob now safely removes the saddle, chest, armor, or flags and drops them as items without harming the creature.
• Accidental Mounting Prevention:
  • Fixed the bug where clicking an animal with food, a whip, armor, or a saddle immediately mounted you.
  • Removed the strict empty-hand requirement to ride; you can now mount while holding tools or weapons.
  • Sneaking now strictly prevents mounting, allowing you to access chest inventories or use tools safely.
• Creative Mode Inventory Protection: Saddling, equipping chests, helmets, armor, or wool flags no longer consumes items from your inventory when in Creative mode (instabuild).

🐾 Mob-Specific Fixes & Improvements

🦤 Ostriches (All 6 Variants)

• Unihorned Ostrich Overhaul: Completely reconstructed the equipment system for the Unihorned Ostrich from scratch.
• Full Equipment Support: All 6 ostriches (Normal, Black, Nether, Undead, Wyvern, and Unihorned) now cleanly support:
  • 13 helmet types (Diamond, Gold, Iron, Netherite, Leather, Fur, Hide, Reptile, and all 5 Scorpion helmets).
  • 16 colored wool flags.
  • Chests and inventories.
  • Shearing off gear in clean hierarchical order.
• Diet Corrections: Fixed isFood for ostriches to accept all vanilla seeds, apples, carrots, nether fungi, or meats depending on their species. Removed accidental auto-taming on wild adults.

🦁 Big Cats (10 Species)

• Fixed all 10 Big Cat species (Lions, Tigers, Panthers, Leopards, Ligers, Leogers, Panthards, Panthgers, Lithers, and Liards).
• Wild adult cats can no longer be instantly auto-tamed by clicking them with meat.
• Tamed owned cats can now be properly healed with any meat.
• Fixed accidental mounting and cub breeding logic.

🐘 Elephants & Mammoths

• Overhauled the equipment procedure: equipping saddles, harnesses, garments, howdahs, mammoth platforms, and chests now functions reliably.
• Sneak + Right-Clicking an equipped elephant now cleanly opens its chest inventory without getting on its back.
• Shears can be used while sneaking to un-equip gear.
• Added potatoes, bread, hay blocks, apples, sugar, and wheat to their diet.

🦂 Scorpions & Manticores (10 Variants)

• Fixed right-click saddling and riding on all 5 scorpion and 5 manticore variants.
• Added missing Undead Scorpion saddle procedure.
• Added reflective safety helper for Pehkui so baby and adult scaling works flawlessly whether Pehkui is installed or not (no more crashes).

🐻 Bears & Reptiles

• Bears: Grizzly, Polar, Black, and Panda bears now support both saddles, shears unsaddling, and protected mounting.
• Wyverns: Fixed armor and saddle equipping, shears removal, and flying controls.
• Komodo Dragons: Right-clicking with the Mo' Creatures Whip now toggles sit/stand cleanly without mounting the dragon.

🥩 Feeding, Taming & Diet Fixes (isFood)

Fixed an issue where multiple mobs had empty food lists, preventing them from being healed, fed, bred, or tamed:

• Kitties (Types A through J): Can now finally be fed and tamed using raw or cooked Cod and Salmon!
• Crocodiles: Now accept all meats, fish, and raw rat meat.
• Turkeys: Now accept all vanilla seed types (Wheat, Melon, Pumpkin, Beetroot, Torchflower, Pitcher Pod).
• Raccoons: Now accept bread, apples, sweet berries, and eggs.
• Meat Tag: Updated #minecraft:meat with all vanilla meats (Beef, Porkchop, Chicken, Mutton, Rabbit).

🧪 Essence Crafting Recipes

Added the missing community-requested shapeless essence conversions:

• Essence of Fire: Crafted with Essence of Darkness + Blaze Powder.
• Essence of Undead: Crafted with Essence of Darkness + Rotten Flesh. (Original recipes using creature hearts remain fully supported).

🥚 Creative Spawn Eggs & Flight Animations

• New Variant Spawn Eggs: Added dedicated spawn eggs for rare horse breeds that lacked one:
  • Zebra & Zorse
  • Unicorn & Pegasus
  • Dark Pegasus
  • Undead Pegasus & Skeleton Pegasus
  • Undead Unicorn & Skeleton Unicorn
  • Ghost Horse & Flying Ghost Horse
  • Fairy Horse (Preserved original spawn eggs for Nightmare, Bat Horse, Zombie Horse, and Skeleton Horse without creating duplicates).
• Custom Flight Animations:
  • Pegasus & Dark Pegasus: Wide, majestic wing flap cycle.
  • Bat Horse: Quick, angular, agile flight flapping tailored to bat wings.
  • Undead & Skeleton Pegasus: Heavy, stiff flap cycle with ragged descent.
  • Fairy Horses: Wing fluttering with 3 distinct frequencies matched to their wing shapes and colors.
