About this Mod
Note: This mod is archived as all of the features are now available with PetsMod, an updated and upgraded version of DuckMod with more features.
Duck Mod requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API.
The Client
When installed on the client, this mod will enable your new best friend, a custom duck! This duck will follow you around wherever you go, and is customizeable with different skins. It will work on any server, and is toggleable with /duck on/off.
Beware, your duck may occasionally quack to get your attention!
List of Useful Commands
/duck <on/off>
toggles the duck on or off./duckname
sets the duck's custom name to whatever you specified./resetduckname
resets the duck's name./teleportduck
teleports the duck to you, in case it gets suck note: animalsl can only teleport if their owner is on the ground. this includes the duck./duckspecies <mallard/pekin>
changes the species of the duck. by default, the duck is a mallard.
The Server
When installed on the server, this mod adds ducks to the game that will spawn naturally. They spawn in:
- Plains
- Cherry Blossom Forests
- Beaches
- Forests
- Dark Forests
- Jungles
They spawn in groups of one to seven, of different species which are random and will not change depending on whether you have /duckspecies set to mallard or pekin. You can tame them with seeds, similar to a chicken.
Future Plans
Even if this mod doesn't go anywhere, this is definitely my favorite mod that I have created and will definitely be getting updated soon. We hope to:
- Be able to toggle off quacking
- Add NEW duck skins, such as female mallards or wood ducks.
- Be able to interact with the duck in different ways.
We will be adding more pets to your game soon - so make sure to look out for those!
FAQ
Q: Why isn't this mod on the latest version?
A: This mod only supports a few versions for now, however it will be updated consistantly - if a new update comes out, just hit that heart to get notified when it updates and I will get it ported to the latest version in a couple of days!
Q: Why isn't this mod on my favorite version?
A: Right now, we only support a couple of versions. However, I am taking version requests - please open an issue on my Github and I'll get right on it?
Q: Is Neoforge/Forge support ever coming?
A: Short answer: unfortunately not. However, if you are on neoforge, please consider using Sinytra Connector with the Forgified Fabric API and the Neoforge version of Cloth Config API.
(Unfortunately, as of writing it doesn't look like connector is on modern, but this may change in the future, so keep it in the back of your mind!)
Q: What's next for the Pets team?
A: I don't want to reveal too much, but lets just say its a bit of a icy plan right now!
