About this Mod
This mod adds the Fennec Fox to the game.
It can be tempted and tamed with rabbit meat items and you can bred them with rabbit foot, sweet berries and glow berries.
They have the same behavior as the vanilla fox in the game.
So it will hunt chicken, rabbits and fishes.
If you tamed it, then it will follow you, but when it starts to hunt it will mind its own business.
You can find them in the desert.
Spawn settings can be changed in the biome modifier and biome tag.
