Hamster!

About this Mod

Hamtastic Hamsters!

A small mod that adds hamsters and enclosure decor for them.

Requires DragN’s Livestock Overhaul 1.20.1-2.5+ as a dependency.

Hamsters spawn in Sunflower Plains and can be tamed by feeding them Hamster Food (crafted with one Pumpkin Seed, one Wheat Seed, one Beetroot Seed, and one Melon Seed)

Be careful, as tamed hamsters of the same gender will fight one another if kept in the same area. (Configurable)

Hamsters are great farmers and will help you out with your garden. Simply take your hamster to some nearby crops and allow it to Wander by shift-left-clicking it. It’ll begin to find any fully-grown crops and will harvest and replant them, keeping the harvest in their 3-slot inventory for you.

You can access their inventory by shift-right-clicking them. 

Hamsters come in lots of fun colors and patterns, along with 3 different breeds.

-Syrian

-Fluffy

-Dwarf
