About this Mod

This mod adds the bongo, the largest and heaviest of the African forest antelopes, to the game
These shy creatures are herbivores (plant-eaters), so they need grass or wheat items for taming and breeding
and are nocturnal, meaning that they are active during nighttime and rest or sleep at daylight.
They will run away from others, but will fight back against attackers or when a calf is attacked.
Sometimes they will strip nearby logs off their bark, turning them into stripped logs. (and dropping some stick(s) while doing it)
And you can also milk them like cows.
When they eat grass from the ground there is a chance that their horn will grow a little longer, which also increases their damage
and when killed they can drop bones based on their horn length and leather.
Just like in my other animal mods the mobs have 3 type of behavior that can be changed when interaction with them (a message shows up so you know which behavior it is using)
(wandering - resting - following)
So you can make them stay at a place when put in resting mode.
They spawn in Windswept Forests and Sparse Jungles.
You can change this and other spawn settings
by editing the json files in the data -> biome tags and biome modifier folders
or via resource pack,
but in fabric some spawn settings like the weight, min, max have to be edited in the config file
