🐌 Ambient Additions 🦀 --- This mod adds ambient life to your world and utilities to catch them. The mod includes various fully-animated animals, ranging from adorable corgis to radially-symmetric starfish, shy crabs, and miniature armadillos. The aim is to introduce more fauna into your world, in order to fuel players' zoos and critter-catching habits!

  • ### 🎯 Critter-Catching: Blowguns, Darts, and Crates!

In order to aid you in collecting and transporting animals, a multitude of the mod's animals are able to be put in buckets, pots, bottles, or bowls. Along with this, we have also added a set of items to sedate and crate any animal in general, especially those that cannot be caught by other means.

#### Crates are a new form of animal transport.

  • Empty Crates can be used on sedated entities by right-clicking on them to capture them.
  • Entities can be placed from crates by right-clicking again.
  • Crates will gain a new texture and enchantment glint when containing a mob and will state the mob contained as a tooltip.

#### Blowguns & Darts allow you to sedate mobs for capture.

  • Blowguns are ranged weapons that use darts as ammunition.
  • They can be charged similarly to a bow, and fire a single dart projectile accordingly.
  • Darts inflict a single level of "stun" on a mob.

After a certain number of stuns, a mob will enter a sedated mode for 30 seconds, during which it will display sleepy particles. The number of stuns required to sedate a mob scales with it's health.

Stun requirements 2. 5 hearts = 1 stun 5 hearts = 2 stuns 10 hearts = 3 stuns 25 hearts = 4 stuns 25+ hearts = 5 stuns
