About this Mod


ABOUT DIVERSITY OF LIFE
Diversity of Life is a project that is a sequel to Zoological Mod (formerly "Zoobox"), which plans to add many real animals (with accurate appearances, behaviors, reproductive, and diets) running around in your world that will probably never fail to amaze you, and you can even take care of these, too! We will also add non-generic plants & others that have a care system similar to that of animals. Inspired by Tycoon Zoo 2, Planet Zoo, and other Minecraft mods (ZAWA, Untamed Wilds, Fossils and Archeology: Revival, etc.)
