About this Mod
I ONLY post my newer mods and mod updates to Modrinth! If you see my mods being uploaded to other websites under my name, THAT IS AN IMPOSTER AND IT HAS BEEN DONE SO WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! PLEASE DO NOT REUPLOAD MY MODS TO OTHER WEBSITES!!! NEVER DOWNLOAD UNOFFICIAL REPOSTS OF MY MODS, AS I DO NOT ENDORSE THEM AND ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEY COULD BE VIRUSES!!! The ONLY exception are mods hosted on Planet Minecraft with older versions of my mods as that is where I originally started out sharing them!
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMENDED YOU USE JEI ITEMS FOR THE RECIPES IN THIS MOD
Hidden deep in a mystical forest, awaits many new and magical creatures yet to be discovered. From surly little gnomes, to floral Dyrids, there's even some hushed whispers of unicorns being sighted!
Currently this mod adds the Sacred Grove and Sacred Meadow biomes, along with the following mobs:
Unicorns!!!! Ridable, they seem fond of some -very- special blossoms...
Four different-colored Dyrids - Right-click on each with a diamond and you'll get a petal! What could they be for?
Gnomes - They're neutral but don't get them started on those goblins! They love berries!
Goblins - ALSO neutral but can't stand those gnomes! They have an affinity for strange soups? Live in swamps
Faux-Phoenix - Fancy chickens, basically!
Sprites - Etheral, glowing fairly-like beings!
Grove Beetles - They also glow, the Faux Phoenix seem to like them. Their wings are also useful!
Kelpie - Water horses that lurk in the swamp. They think you're quite tasty...
The Red Bull - Firey bovines native to the Nether. Fire won't hurt them but they'll set you aflame if you touch them! They hate unicorns, but seem to like their horns...
True Pheonix - Sighted in the Nether! Can be tamed with Blaze Powder, however it's said if they are slain they drop a powerful crafting ingredient...
