Description

ZiNG’s Creatures adds dozens of elemental creature classes, items, blocks, tools, and biomes—organized into eras that expand the world over time. Each era introduces its own themes, enemies, and materials, encouraging exploration and long-term progression.

The Eras

Creature classes include:
Cavern – Underground creatures shaped by caves and the deep earth

DISCONTINUATION & REMAKE

ZiNG's Creatures: Rewritten

A full remake of the original ZiNG’s Creatures (2025) is now in development.

Why the remake?
The original mod has been officially discontinued due to:

  • Storage limitations causing major version rollbacks (1.11.8.1 → 1.15.8)
  • Performance issues from too many mod elements
  • Ongoing development challenges with ZiNGLib

What’s different this time?
This rewrite focuses on stability, creativity, and long-term development. No more rushing—just building it right.

Planned features include:

  • Pottery sherds & trim materials
  • Custom weapons & upgrades
  • Dimension sky systems (clouds, celestial bodies, etc.)
  • Enhanced mob animations & new entities
  • Expanded commands, game rules, maps, and boss bars
  • Amulet systems and more

🗓️ Planned Release: 2029
✨ Includes two brand-new eras

This mod will still exist, but will no longer continue adding updates

NOTES

- Designed for Minecraft: Java Edition (NeoForge)

- Actively maintained

- Feedback and suggestions are welcome
