Q/A

Why am I having trouble finding species?
The aim was to make an animal mod that didnt feel too disruptive to the minecraft feel but also a lot of our species are endangered so there is an underlying conservation theme with the mod. You can find most species using the villager trades.

How do I hatch the eggs?
Right clicking using the Hand Rearing Puppet item will hatch the eggs

Will there be future updates?
Yes! I am just seeing about working on other projects right now but there will likely be further updates with possibly more mobs!

How do I find the Kauri Log type?
Old growth Kauri trees are hard to find naturally but you can find Kauri saplings as a drop from Fossilized Kauri Amber found beneath Ocean and Swamp biomes
