About this Mod

Welcome to advanced animals! In this mod all animals have advanced AI and an entire reputation system. this mod is very much in early beta but I plan on adding more stuff soon.

AI
Animals will now run when they sense danger for example when one of their herd members are hit they all panic making it harder to attack them head on. This will inspire a more sneaky and realistic hunting aproach.

Reputation
Everytime you attack a peaceful creature it will give you -1 reputation. When your reputation is below 0, all peacefull creatures will run from you and wolves will attack you on sight making it realy hard to play the game.

Gaining Reputation
You can gain back reputation by placing wheat, seeds or potatos on the ground via right click. This will then attract whatever mob likes the food and when they come and eat it they will leave you a gift. There are 3 different gifts you can get and when right clicked they give you +1 reputation. Another new item added by the mod is the Nature orb. This orb lets you view your reputation with the animals. At 50 reputation you will gain the ability to tame any tamable mob just by being near them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Advanced Animals server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Advanced Animals compatible with forge?

Advanced Animals officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Advanced Animals – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Advanced Animals consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
