The Wannabeastiary- The Journey Update

The Wannabeastiary is an addon mostly focused around new mobs, but I plan on adding to many different aspects of the game. Currently, this is an early version of the addon, so it is somewhat small aside from creature-related stuff, but i’ve got plans for things like new biomes, trees, crops, ores, armor, food, and more! This addon is based on the characters, lore, and species of my own fantasy worldbuilding project, Terra, as well as a few of my own personal headcanons for Minecraft lore I came up with a while ago, plus stuff I just thought would be cool to throw in. I love writing, worldbuilding, and my characters a lot, so I thought it would be super neat to make a lore-based addon, since I sadly don’t see a lot of those. I’ve also put a lot of thought into making sure everything has an actual use for survival gameplay without being too OP, so hopefully this addon can enhance your survival worlds immensely!

Been working hard on the Magic Update, and I’m almost done. The new mc update messed up some of the items, so there might be a little delay, but hopefully later this week I’ll be done. Fingers crossed!

Damn, the mobs are so cute, I can't kill them.

i have a problem with the mod, i have everything turned on but the Knuck dosnot exist
1
I really like this mod, it gives everything I want, such as lots of animals that can be tamed and a large variety of animals. and what makes me like this mod is because this mod has quite a lot of reptiles and all the reptiles in this mod are quite unique
1
I know you just buffed it in the last update, but can you update the damage of the ancient dragon? Its kind of silly how my 20ft hard earned dragon took like 5 hits to kill a zombie. As always thanks, can't wait for the magic update.

is mine tweaking cuz when I try to find the whale I only have 5 of the mods spawn eggs
1
that’s really weird. I’ve never had an issue like that, are you on experimental mode? I haven’t tested the addon without experimental
1
And also the addon got a warning saying “/metadata/spawnwith” “it is not used for this type of content this field will be ignored”
1
Oh yeah I don’t know why it does that, but it doesn’t mean anything so just ignore it lol

One of the best mods i have come across one problem tho the rug thing is texture is a dirt block written “update!” So far enjoying it Excited to see what else gets added
1
Thank you!

oh yeah the rug was a block from the first ver that broke, I wasn’t sure how to hide it from the creative inventory so I just didn’t bother
1
so me and my brother were dicking around with this mod but half the craftable items were gone and so we made a test world thinking it was one of our other mods but nope the items really did just go out to buy milk
1
That’s weird, it’s never done that for me
1
Help me plz I can't put Buzzard on my sholder

this is so cool!

Great add-on. If you enjoy making textures and got some spare time, feel free to publish a 32x version of the resource pack too, so we can enjoy it in a bit more detail. ^^
I'm unfortunately not very good at making textures myself, so I can't help with that...

I actually hate making textures 99 percent of the time

Hello
It’s really a good addon I love it, I think it will become better and better in the future.
One of the things that I noticed is some mobs need to have a balance for the spawn rate or at least for the spawn location.
Alligators attack Lancelet and the water surface always full of that mob loot, literally about a stack every few minutes, hope you found a way to fix that.
Thank you!

Edit: after playing a while all the water creatures need to decrease their spawn rate, especially the whales, I don’t think it’s logical to find 7-8 whales in the same area wherever I go :)
1
Those are actually gharials attacking fish and lancelets, and serving their intended purpose.

As for whales, they spawn in pods of 1-3, but I can see if I can make the spawn rate a bit lower.

This is a dream addon seriously, I've been coding java mods for a while now and this personally is something special , though I would suggest from my experience to add some more tameable creatures like multiple headed snakes or bats or arthropods or even the manticore (a mythical creature) or the goldhorn(also a mythical creature),you could also try to add some tameable water creatures like adding a taming feature for the great white shark or tameable hippos, it will make your addon even more unique
1
THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE! This is actually my attempt at making my own personal dream addon- I’ve got more stuff in the works, don’t worry!
1
Absolutely, carry on with the psychopathic ideas for the Addons, I really feel like this addon will be the best addon in the coming years if you continue it, and also do you have a discord server for this addon? I'd like to follow the updates
1
I don’t have a dedicated discord server for the addon, but in my personal discord server linked in the desc I’ve got a few channels dedicated to it
