Mooffalo

The Mooffalo is a big, calm buffalo cow that lives in savannas and taigas.

What it does

It walks around eating grass, like sheep do. Sometimes, when there are crops near it, it lies down next to them for a bit, and while it's there they grow one stage every two seconds, with the bone meal particles.

Shears give you 1 to 3 brown wool, and it grows back after it eats grass.

Hold wheat and it follows you. Feed two of them wheat and you get a calf; calves grow up faster when they eat grass.

It drops 1 to 3 leather and 2 to 4 raw beef, or cooked beef if it dies on fire.

Variants

• The normal Mooffalo lives in taigas.
• Dustback is the savanna one.
• Highland shows up in snowy taigas and old growth taigas.
• Albino is rare, about 1 in 20 in taigas, and its wool is white.
• Ancient can show up anywhere, 1 in 100. It's bigger and has 100 health.

Requirements

Minecraft 1.20.1 with Forge 47 or newer, or Minecraft 1.21.1 with NeoForge 21.1.172 or newer. You also need GeckoLib 4.8.4 or newer. Install it on the server and on the clients. You can use it in modpacks.

Tested

I tried it in single player: it spawns on its own in savannas, and I checked the five variants, shearing, calves and the crops thing. It also starts on a dedicated server without errors, but I haven't played on a server with more people yet. I tested the NeoForge 1.21.1 version the same way. There's no Fabric version for now.

The screenshots use Complementary Reimagined shaders.

Mooffalo is inspired by a concept by Ninni. Thanks for the design!
