Gator Country

REQUIRES GECKOLIB

Introduction

Welcome to Gator Country! This modification adds one new animal to the game - alligators! We tried to make their appearance interesting, unique, and detailed. Although we added only one type of mob, we compensated for this by creating a complex system with various functions, including a hunger system, mood system, multiple usage options, new items, and special structures!

Alligators

These large reptiles are relatively rare. They spawn in swamp biomes and near alligator nests. There are three color variants: standard green, dark green, and rare albino. They usually behave passively, but when hungry, they can hunt small animals nearby, attack those who destroy their eggs, and even ambush players who are in water near them!

Mood System

Alligators in the wild initially have an average mood level, but it decreases if they are not under open sky or are in cold biomes. If an alligator's mood drops to zero, it starts attacking other alligators nearby and becomes aggressive to almost everything! Alligators killed in this state drop nothing, so for successful breeding it's necessary to follow ethical norms to avoid ending up with just one alligator. It's worth noting that unhappy alligators give less loot, while very happy ones give more than usual!

Interactions

You can interact with happy alligators by right-clicking with any mob skull - this will make the alligator attack mobs of that specific type. If you use an ender dragon head, the alligator will attack ALL mobs except other alligators and the player who showed it the ender dragon head.

Drops

When killed, alligators drop meat and leather. Their meat is a large portion that can be placed on the ground or eaten normally, providing significant hunger and saturation restoration with a slight slowing effect. If crafted with a bowl, carrot, and mushroom, it becomes Alligator Gumbo - an even more saturating food item that also provides resistance when consumed. If crafted with a bowl, potato, and bone, it becomes Alligator Chow that can be fed to any tamed animals (except parrots) to give them strength, resistance, and regeneration.

Enjoy your next wild adventures with these formidable creatures!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Port to 1.20?: When the mod becomes stable enough, I will work on porting to version 1.20 :)

Port to Fabric?: Sorry, no, I develop only for Forge/Neoforge.

This mod is most likely feature complete, but if you have any ideas, you can always leave them in the comments, and I will consider them.
