WildEarth

📋 Changelog: 1.15.0, The Frozen North Update

🐻‍❄️ 6 new animals

• Walrus: lounges in noisy groups and hauls itself onto ice. Hurt a calf and the whole herd comes after you. Tame with cod. Drops tusks and blubber.
• Narwhal: the “unicorn of the sea,” swimming in pods. Stays wild. Drops the Narwhal Tusk.
• Beluga Whale: white, curious and chatty, and it follows boats. Tame with salmon, then ride it with a saddle.
• Reindeer: travels in herds, and both bulls and cows grow and shed antlers. Tame with wheat or carrots and ride it; it’s faster on snow and ice.
• Musk Ox: when attacked, the herd forms a ring around its calves, facing outward. Shear it for Qiviut Wool, which grows back.
• Puffin: dives for fish and flies off with a beakful. A tame puffin shares its catch with you.

🧥 New gear

• Parka: powder snow can’t freeze you.
• Crampons: grip on ice instead of sliding around.
• Ice Pick: works as an iron pickaxe, smashes ice almost instantly, and cuts ice fishing holes.
• Narwhal Spear: throw it and it flies back to you. It hits harder against anything in water.
• Reindeer Saddle Bags: a chest’s worth of storage on your reindeer. Sneak and right-click the reindeer to open them.

🏔️ 2 new structures

• Frozen Mammoth: a woolly mammoth inside a glacier cave, visible through clear ice, with a chest of Ice Age treasure.
• Arctic Research Station: a snowy cabin with a Zoologist, a kennel with two wolves, a campfire and a supply chest.

🌌 Northern Lights: every night in snowy places, green and purple curtains shimmer across the sky.

📖 Also new

• An Arctic tab in the Animal Guide.
• 3 advancements: Polar Explorer, Unicorn of the Sea and Ice Age.
• New Zoologist trades and maps.
• Research Outposts can now have maps to the new structures.

🐛 Fix
Wild Earth structures no longer pile up on tall pillars in superflat worlds. I found this while testing: the game’s check for “already placed” breaks when the ground is below y=0. Every structure in the mod had this problem in superflat worlds, and now none do.
