About this Mod

Faunus

Faunus is an animal mod for Fabric, bringing many exotic and facinating animals from the Americas to Minecraft! As of now, Faunus adds about a dozen animals, ranging from ravenous piranhas in swamps to playful capuchin monkeys in jungles, but more will be added!

CONTENT

JUNGLE

  • Quetzals, lovely birds found in jungles. Their feathers can be used to create a unique trinket that increases speed and attracts villagers
  • Hoatzin, smelly birds that feed on leaves. Attacking them will coat you with their smell, which repells entities. Their feathers can also be used to create potions with the same effect
  • Tapirs, large animals that fill the roll of cattle or pigs in jungles. They drop a rich meat and leather, but may recoil by attacking you and afflicting you with an effect that attracts monsters! They may also be bred with potatoes or fruit. You can "milk" them with a bottle to collect a Bottle of Stink, for potion brewing
  • Piranha, voracious fish that live water in swamps as well as jungles. They can strip a horse to bones in seconds, what makes you any different?
  • Capuchins, neutral monkeys that may be tamed with any fruit. Tamed ones can be picked up and will gather items for you, but wild ones may attack if threatened and if enough are present. On top of scrathing and biting threats... they might use other means to defend themselves... Tamed ones may also be bred with fruit.

SWAMP

  • Yacares, large crocodillians. They drop meat and can be bred with any fish. Its said if they can eat a human, their size grows exponentially... be careful
  • Arapiama, a huge fish. They may be bred with spider eyes and will produce spawn, but these large fish can still do some damage
  • Leech, a small parasite with medicinal benefits. Leeches will attach to prey and feed on their blood, then drop off when full. Leeches may be captured in bottles, and then brewed into potions of Leeching, which grants lifesteal, or if brewed into splash or linging potions, will spawn leeches on the target
  • Crayfish, in both a common green and rare blue. They can be picked up by hand if you're fast enough, but they may escape first. Both types can be cooked, though blue ones can be brewed into Potions of the Swamp Crawler
  • Snapping Turtle, nature's beartrap. They bury theselves in mud or dirt, with their head stuck out. If something gets too close, they will snap down on them
  • Songbirds, ambiance birds with many variants like tropical fish
CONTENT
  • Arapiama are not as active as they should be
  • Iguanas do not spawn and do not drop anything
  • Songbird appearance is a bit weird
