About this Mod
This mod is a very simple mod that only adds one new mob to the game, the tanuki!
Tanukis spawn in bamboo jungles and cherry groves. They are passive and don't have any unique drops. They can be both tamed and bred with any cooked meat item. Their bandana can be dyed to change its colour.
The tanuki is based on vtuber Tanukiyomi's design with her permission. Go check her out!

Tanukis server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Tanukis – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Tanukis consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
