About
The Wildebeest Mod brings wildebeest mobs to Minecraft (no joke?). Encounter these well-known animals in savanna biomes (or wooded badlands) and discover their strength, their dislike of cows, and their willingness to remain in the herd.
The mod also adds several new items and blocks, such as wildebeest meat, a new high-performance bow, and even a powerful potion.

- ⏩ Requires NeoForge to be installed: https://neoforged.net/.
