Mo' Creatures Extended
About Mo' Creatures Mod
Mo' Creatures is a popular mod created by developer DrZhark that first appeared on November 17, 2010. This addition enriches the Minecraft world with over 80 new mobs, including various animals, monsters, and creatures, some of which can be tamed and used as transportation. In December 2019, original development was discontinued, and the project became open source.
About Mo' Creatures Extended Project
