Wild Animals

Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.

Project overview

# Wild Animals _**This datapack is mostly designed for server usage (less tasks for the player), but works well in singleplayer.**_ No resource pack required, **fully server side**. All the new animals are **spawning naturally** in their respective biomes, and are **animated**. They despawn if no one is around. This datapack can be used in singleplayer, but it may lag depending on your computer. Manually use **/function animals:kill** if it lags! ## List of animals - Elephant (**savanna, jungle**) - Jellyfish (**ocean, deep ocean, warm ocean, cold ocean, deep warm ocean, deep cold ocean**) - Shark (**deep warm ocean, deep cold ocean**) - Crab (**beach**) - Ostrich (**savanna**) ## Performance impact - **Player/Client** (rendering the textures of the animals) - Elephant ---> Very Low - Jellyfish ---> High - Shark ---> Very Low - Crab ---> Very Low - Ostrich ---> Very Low - **Server** (functions, spawn rate and so on) - Elephant ---> Low - Jellyfish ---> Very Low - Shark ---> Very Low - Crab ---> Very Low - Ostrich ---> Very Low ## Uninstalling Run **/function animals:kill** before uninstalling!

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for mobs on datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The source record was updated on Sep 5, 2026, which is a recent freshness signal. A recent date does not guarantee support for every loader or Minecraft version, so still inspect the current file list.

What to verify before choosing a file

• Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
• Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
• Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
• Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
• Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
