Welcome!!!
Barnyard Buddies is a mod that adds a several vanilla styled animals based on real world farm animal breeds! Loosely inspired by the Spring to Life update, These specific breeds will spawn in certain biomes across your world alongside regular vanilla animals (they are not special skins of farm animals but their own mob). Some breeds like the Jacob's Sheep have unique features like dropping spotted wool, while others like the Hampshire Pig are similar to their vanilla counterpart in functions. Some farm animals will be species not seen in minecraft. There will only be 1 or 2 special variants of most of the vanilla farm animals.
Additionally, Barnyard Buddies adds several decorative blocks to the game meant for homesteads, farms & animal pens. Including: Chainlink Mesh, Barn wall blocks, Chainlink Doors, Iron Corrals and more!
At the moment only a 1.20.1 Forge & 1.21.1 Neoforge version are being worked on. But possibly a 1.19.2 Forge 1.21.4+Neoforge ports may also be worked on if porting goes well. We'll have to wait and see!
