   # Spawn in all biomes. If false, uses the whitelist in this config  [default: true]
   B:allBiomes=true

   # Biomes for spawning. Can add any modded biomes.

Development History

This mod started as a fork of Roots (with the author's permission), from which all elements except the Fairy, Deer, and Sprout entities were removed. The Ancient Golem from the Embers mod was also added.

The project also includes code and textures from the Ender Zoo mod (currently abandoned).

Main Changes:

• Modified spawn rules
• Adjusted creature AI
• Updated loot tables
• Added color variations with slight differences
• Fairies can be tamed and untamed using glowstone
• Changed the firing speed of golem lasers
• Golems attack the player, but certain colors also attack specific mobs

All textures and source code comply with the licenses of the original mods.

Compatibility

If you have Embers and/or Roots mods installed, you may see duplicate entities such as fairies from this mod. However, spawning can be modified or disabled through the configuration file.
