About this Mod

Perch

Have you ever wished parrots would just stay put on your shoulder? Perch is a simple mod that makes falling not cause entites (see: parrots) to fall off of your shoulder.

Questions you may want the answers to

So how do I get rid of them now?

Sneak right-clicking the ground with nothing in your main hand will now cause all entities on your shoulder to dismount. Additionally, all other vanilla interactions that cause parrots to dismount still apply. These include: touching water, flying, sleeping, and standing in powder snow

How does this work on servers?

The mod should work entirely server-side. If you install it on the server, no players will need to install the mod. Simply having it installed to the server will be enough!

Then does it still work in Singleplayer?

Sure does!

Will you ever get a better icon for it?

Eventually

Does it do anything else?

Nope! That's all. And I currently have no other plans for it.

Modpacks?

As with all of my mods, feel free to put them in modpacks. I don't mind

What if I find a bug?

Given that it's such a small mod, there isn't a whole lot that could go wrong, but saying that has opened me up to being incredibly wrong. If you find something wrong, report it on the Issue tracker
