About this Mod
Foxes are truly one of the cutest and most adorable mobs available in Minecraft, but vanilla doesn't quite do their cleverness justice. To resolve that, Tricksy Foxes bestows upon them the gift of intellectual enlightenment!
Provide a fox with a Periapt O' Prescience and take them on a whirlwind tour throughout the dimensions to uplift their minds and grant them a new level of cognitive clarity.For reasons completely beyond us, recipients of this revelatory experience have an incredibly strong tendency of pursuing theological seclusion. But at least you get to tell them what to do with their time from thereon...
Tricksy Foxes provides a means of converting vanilla foxes into the titular version, who can then be given a custom-tailored behaviour tree to determine what they do from thereon. This can be keeping your storage hall tidy, to manually maintaining an entire wall of furnaces, to following you around as a reliable and quite savvy bodyguard! The only limit is how big their tree can grow!
