Mo' Creatures is a Minecraft mod that was made by DrZhark. It adds over 58 new mobs to the game.
Overview
Mo' Creatures provides many new animals and monster mobs, as well as the ability to tame and ride some. The mod focuses on allowing the player to interact with and tame new creatures. Each mob in Mo' Creatures is either passive, neutral or hostile, and some have advanced AI, which of course depends on the player's presence.
Some activities in the mod include fighting hostile mobs and crafting new blocks and tools by gathering various resources found in the mod.
Dependencies
- Minecraft Forge
- GUI Api (for Minecraft versions 1.6.x and earlier)
- CustomMobSpawner (if omitted, the default spawner will be used)
Gameplay
Wyvern lair logs, one of the exclusive blocks that naturally generate in the wyvern lair.
Blocks
Main Category: Blocks
Mo' Creatures adds 14 new blocks to Minecraft, most of which are exclusive to the Wyvern Lair dimension. There are also unobtainable Ogre Lair blocks, which are exclusive to the the Ogre Lair, which is still in development. They can only be obtained in creative mode.
There are different types of Wyvern Lair blocks; natural blocks such as wyvern lair grass and stone are generated in the Wyvern Lair dimension. There are also blocks that players can craft, such as wyvern lair and ogre Lair wood planks. Resources can be extracted from blocks by hand or by using tools.
Some of these resources are simply blocks in the player's inventory that can be placed elsewhere, while others are used as material to create other blocks or tools.
Mobs
Main Category: Mobs
Mo' Creatures adds a variety of mobs to Minecraft. They are affected by the environment in the same ways as the player, and they can be hurt by the same things that harm the player (catching on fire, falling, drowning, attacked by weapons, etc.). Some mobs may be resistant or immune to certain hazards, such as nightmares or nether scorpions, which are immune to fire. Big golems are also somewhat resistant to swords or other weapons, but they can take extra damage from a pickaxe.
Insects
Insects are small creatures in the mod that were added for the sake of ambience. There are ants, bees, crickets, flies, fireflies, butterflies and moths, maggots, and roaches.
Bears
There are four bears in the Mo' Creatures mod. Includes black bears, grizzlies, polar bears and pandas.
Fish
There are several types of "fish" mobs in Mo' Creatures. This includes small fish and medium fish and aggressive piranhas.
Mob behavior
A big golem attacking the player.
Some hostile Minecraft mobs can ride several Mo' Creatures mobs in the same way players can. this includes zombies, zombie pigmen or skeletons riding on horsemobs, wolves and scorpions. When mobs are killed, they drop various items which may be useful to the player for use in many crafting recipes. Some mobs can also only be found in certain biomes, such as mammoths, frost scorpions and polar bears, which can can only be found in "snow" biomes.
Like vanilla Minecraft mobs, every mob in Mo' Creatures has an AI (artificial intelligence) system with different behavior and mechanics. Mobs will ordinarily wander around at random if there is a player nearby and usually will avoid walking off blocks high enough to cause fall damage.
Other mobs have more advanced AI, and as a result, have more complex behavior. This includes scorpions stinging the player if they get too close, ogres destroying blocks within close range of the player, or golems using blocks as a projectile. Examples of this includes ogres destroying blocks in a nearby radius, and both golems using the ability to throw blocks at the player. Big golems can form their body from blocks in the surrounding environment, making them a formidable and challenging enemy. Mini golems will simply throw a block at you, however, and are not considered very dangerous.
Taming mobs
Several Songhua River mammoths in an enclosure.
Most mobs can be tamed in various ways, such as catching aquatic mobs (like fish or crabs) with a fish net or by hatching mob eggs such as wyvern, ostrich, many types of fish, Komodo dragon or shark eggs. Some mobs, such as horses, can be ridden, bred and can even transform into rarer variants, (such as a fairy horse or pegasus) with the use of essences.
Mobs come to exist by spawning in various ways. Players can spawn most mobs into the world by using spawn eggs in creative mode. Most mobs, especially hostile mobs, are aware of the player within 16 blocks.
Dimensions
Main category: Dimensions
The Mo' Creatures mod adds one dimension: the Wyvern Lair, and another one that is still planned; the Ogre Lair.
The Wyvern Lair
Main article: Wyvern Lair
The Wyvern Lair is a dimension in Mo' Creatures, accessible with the use of a wyvern portal staff. It is the only place where wyverns spawn and can be found naturally. It is also home to other mobs such as snakes, bunnies and insects.
Upon arrival in the dimension, you will spawn on a structure made out of quartz blocks. This structure is the only way that the player can get back home with the use of the portal staff.
Ogre Lair
Main article: Ogre Lair
The Ogre Lair is a planned dimension that is still in development. It is currently not accessible, and in a future update, three ogre bosses are set to spawn in the dimension, along with ogres.
