Biomes MCreator Mobs

This mod adds a few features being (spoilers show all functions of items/entities/biomes):

  • Hopping Mouse entity which is a cute mouse-like rodent native to Australia

It is tamable with spinifex seeds, but will be hard to tame as they run like crazy when you approach. The drops consist of raw hopping mouse meat and hopping mouse tail. The tail can be used to make arrows, the recipe is the same as normal apart from the feathers being replaced with the tail. They spawn in the desert, badlands, spinifex desert and savanna.

  • Eucalyptus Leaf

The leaf can be put in a 2x2 on a crafting grid, which then makes a eucalyptus lolly. It comes from decaying/broken Leaf Blocks.

  • Eucalyptus Wood

Includes all wood/log types other than signs and boats.

  • Eucalyptus Sapling

Used for growing the trees, can be bone mealed.

  • Eucalyptus Lolly

Gives 1 hunger or half a hunger symbol.

  • Spinifex Grass

Drops spinifex seeds when broken.

  • Spinifex Seeds

Hopping mice are attracted to it and can be tamed with it.

  • Spinifex Desert from the Australian outback

A custom biome that has red sand/sandstone, eucalyptus trees, spinifex grass, dead bushes, and hopping mice.

 

Note that Mcreator was used for most textures and coding, Blockbench was used for the hopping mouse and spinifex seeds, this is my first ever mod, and will likely never be updated, but feel free to report bugs and suggestions as they might get fixed or added.
