Prairie dogs begin appearing on plains and meadows in Animal Garden Prairie Dog. Wild animals are active during the day and sleep at night, while after taking damage they become frightened and try to run away. Taming is simple: almost any food can be used.
Nursery Refined changes the appearance of baby mobs without affecting their standard 3D models. The main rework concerns faces and skin: unnaturally dark eyes are removed, while the textures become cleaner and more consistent with the adult versions of the creatures. The changes cover cows, pigs, sheep, wolves, cats, and foxes, including their biome variants.
Coastal waters and rivers gain a new peaceful inhabitant in Animal Garden Manatee. Manatees slowly swim along shorelines and through freshwater, while when frightened they speed up and try to move away from the source of danger. They can be lured with seagrass and kelp, which serve as their preferred food.
Red pandas become a separate forest mob in Animal Garden Red Panda. They spawn naturally in forest biomes and have an appearance based on the real animal without being turned into a fantasy creature.
Regular bundles gain a system of sequential upgrades in Metal Bundles. In addition to the basic version, leather, copper, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite tiers appear, increasing the available storage capacity. An old bundle can be upgraded to the next tier through a smithing table without using a template.
Nighttime expeditions become more dangerous with Ender Zoology, which adds several new creatures connected to End-themed concepts and other unusual effects. Enderminies resemble smaller Endermen and can chase creepers. Concussion Creepers do not destroy terrain with their explosion but instead teleport the target, leaving behind material for special charges and TNT.
The mace selection is expanded with four themed variants in More Maces. Instead of a single standard weapon, Anvil, Flame, End, and Wither appear, each crafted from materials corresponding to its theme. This approach preserves the general weapon type while allowing players to choose the appearance and recipe depending on the direction of their equipment.
Creatures can be transported directly through the inventory using the set of lassos from Mob Lassos. Basic variants work for a limited amount of time, so a captured mob can escape if it is kept inside for too long. The golden lasso is intended for land animals, the aquatic one for water creatures, while the diamond lasso can capture any animal and has no timer.
The sideways movement of skeletons is replaced with a more straightforward combat strategy in Skeleton AI Fix. Archers no longer constantly try to move backward and sideways, which previously could cause them to fall from cliffs, get stuck in corners, or move poorly across difficult terrain.
Frequently changing building palettes in Creative mode becomes easier with Player Kits. The mod allows you to save the current inventory contents as a separate kit and then restore it with a simple command whenever a different set of blocks or tools is needed. Not only the hotbar is saved: a kit can include the full inventory, armor, and other inventory sections.
