This mod adds the Northern Cardinal as a tamable animal to the game.

 

They can be seen in all kinds of forest biomes including the dappled forest from 26.3.

Although cardinals are omnivores you can only feed, tame or breed(needs opposite gender) them with seeds or fruits here.

They are diurnal, meaning that they are active during daylight hours and rest or sleep at night.

 

Males are bright red while females are a bit brown and orange,

and juveniles look the same as females but without the orange parts.

There is also a 5% chance to find a rare yellow variant due to xanthochromism!

 

At every 5-10 minutes:

-they will drop down a feather while flying around 

-it can go up to a crop like wheat or to sweet berries to eat a bit, and after finishing their meal they will also drop down a random item from the crops harvesting loot table, but without getting it harvested (only in wandering mode!)

 

Just like in my other animal mods the mobs have 3 type of behavior that can be changed when interaction with them (a message shows up so you know which behavior it is using)

(wandering - resting - following)

If tamed they wont go naturally in their resting mode,
instead you can force them to stay at a place when put in resting mode.

Also they heal in rest mode automatically at every 5 second.

They spawn in the forest biomes.

You can change this and other spawn settings
by editing the json files in the jars data -> biome tags and biome modifier folders
or via resource pack,

but in fabric some spawn settings like the weight, min, max have to be edited in the config file

 

This mod currently supports:

Forge       26.x | 1.21.x | 1.20.1

Neoforge 26.x | 1.21.x

Fabric      26.x | 1.21.x | 1.20.1

 

PS: Unified Animal Garden versions will come later, but this will take a lot of time as some animals will get a complete code rework and they will only support the latest minecraft version at the release time!

And the single mod support will also continue!
