Happily announcing DrZhark's Mo' Creatures Extended along with @lilac relic!

Mo' Creatures Extended stands for continued maintenance of the mod. It's completely dependency-free, a lot of the codebase is cleaned up and most apparent bugs are fixed.
Further, this means we got rid of Custom Mob Spawner and emulated its behavior with the vanilla spawner, greatly enhancing compatibility with other mods in the process.

List of most notable changes so far:

  • Removed all dependencies, spawning is handled entirely with vanilla means
  • Cleaned up codebase, adjusted/removed legacy code
  • Revamped spawning behavior of all mobs for better immersion
  • Optimized performance through faster data structures
  • Overhauled config files with options for easy spawning customization
  • Adjusted config values to reasonable defaults
  • Fixed resources and language files
  • Reworked insect AI
  • Added turkey breeding
  • Improved ostrich breeding
  • Balanced attacking of werewolves
  • Fixed kitty issues, added spawning in villages

ah lol im stupid

#

We're using the latest development branch of DrZhark and it appears there are not too many unused assets left in there. Chance is the ogre lair along with the bosses are just unreleased models and concepts.
We'll see what the future brings!

Gonna make me decide between this and Better Animals +

#

Coincidentally, this released a couple minutes after I opened up curseforge lmao. I feel like I was the second download.

Some of the older textures and models are a little 😬 nowadays. Especially compared to other mobs in the same mod. (looking at the goat). OF JEM support like Lycanites and Grimoire of Gaia would be huge

YOOOOOOOOOOO

Looks like a good next candidate for Spell Bundle :)
I want a burning steed summon and a snake summon

lilac relic
#

Goats are from the earlier mobs (added around 2011), but I still don't think they look that bad? I've seen much more questionable implementations lol

#

why it was stuck in the mod for that long when it really wasn't needed anymore 😵‍💫
Porting to newer versions suck and it seems the developers just wanted to port it rather reworking it to work with vanilla

#

also probably because CMS does have some unique capabilities they didn't want to give up

#

but now a lot of the features are reworked in the Extended version, or available elsewhere (e.g. with In Control)

frozen shadow
#

Maybe. I was thinking of 2D textured horns, but maybe this is better

#

Although generally dislike touching official Mojang stuff because of art ethics

lilac relic
#

Actually we did add dimension spawn control into Mo' Creatures!

#

Only for Mo' Creatures mobs though, and if you want more control you can use In Control

#

I was just gonna put this on mod almanac

#

I love that all these mods are coming back

outer yacht
frozen shadow
#

This wouldn't be a good mod for the almanac though. It's purely a content mod

hazy dirge
#

oh

outer yacht
#

Got this commissioned, didnt get any textures. Could fit well into the mod if it gets some.

📎 otter.bbmodel image.png
#

gonna be searching for a texture artist to commission

#

Could we get out of gate Thaumcraft aspects integration?

#

There is even a mod that has added the aspects to the old Mo creatures, but it is not compatible with this release.

cosmic umbra
#

Native thaumcraft aspects sounds like a valid addition! kagurathumbsup

cosmic umbra
#

Well, we would have to port them. Other than that, sure!

#

As you like!

Hi mmh sorry for disturb maybe but I have a question can we suggest stuff ? cause I work before for moc awakened for some models so I can help at least for that plus textures if there a need too and if its not I can suggest new things cause I played with this mod since 1.7.2 to the 1.12.2 so I can help for found some ideas

#

and by the way thanks so much for dev and upgrade this version of the mod !

#

for example I already did a model + texture for the chimp with some scrap I found

cosmic umbra
#

Looks great, what a guy! 🐵

wanton ginkgo
#

Looks cool

#

Make it throw rocks when aggroed

outer yacht
#

Make it throw shit

woven imp
#

thanks guys ! :>

#

well its will be a mo creatures port with many new stuff like new amulets and upgrade of some mechanics of the mods

woven imp
woven imp
#

So the first suggestion I wanted to made about the mod so since the goal I see is to upgrade the mod and fix some bugs a thing I really wanted to be in the mod , you see tamed big cats , bears , manticores , wyverns ? Well I think its could be pretty cool if they could be able to defend their owner like dogs but they don't follow the player cause you use them as mounts (and for avoid the fact they could suffocate to death if they tp to you in small space.)

#

Like this they could have a new very cool utility for the player and a additional motivation to the player for tame the animals

#

plus for PVE and PVP stuff its could be amazing to have this animals for help in combat

woven imp
#

Okay thanks for the info ! :>

woven imp
#

and btw cause I like equines I made many new variants for the horses for the moc 1.16 port

#

and also made special donkeys lol

aaaaqzezeqfqezf.PNG aaaaazqefqzef.PNG aaaaaaaasa.PNG aaaaaaaazedazd.PNG
#

I'm proud of my dragon donkey 💀

woven imp
#

thanks well if you want to do a dragon donkey for this version of the mod you can litteraly made a texture very similar of my dragon donkey I have no problem with it , I mean I want to help for the mod and give ideas so 💀

woven imp
#

And by the way if there need a guy for beta testing the new versions I'm here too just need to ping me ! 👀 (I will btw test the new version and test the french translation :>)

woven imp
#

Oh I check the transalation its amazing very good work !

#

I'm just curious if there a plan to upgrade this little guy cause I think its could be cool to have him some good stuff

2023-07-09_23.15.04.png
wanton ginkgo
#

what kind of good stuff?

#

Giving it the ability to fly some smaller distances maybe?

woven imp
# wanton ginkgo Giving it the ability to fly some smaller distances maybe?

give this to the duck could be very cool but I was thinking made him a usefull living stock animal like made him a little more diffenrent of the chicken like for example he gives a food between the chicken and mutton , and you need bread to breed him , and for give him another utility with his meat we could be able to craft a very usefull special food recipe who the player need duck meat come like the rat meat with rat burger

#

and he could lay eggs too (come like ostrichs or chickens) could be use for omelets

#

:>

#

oh thanks ! :3

wanton ginkgo
#

Yeah it would be nice to differentiate it from chicken livestock

#

How about the limited flight, plus a (rarer) drop - duck liver? Could be processed into a nutritious food

woven imp
#

I very like the idea ! :>

#

plus baby ducks could be very cute

woven imp
#

Also btw another suggestion I had in mind about the pachyderns of the mod elephants , mammoths etc... I think its could be cool the tamed pachyderns defend you if you are attacked by something , and its could be amazing if you can breed the pachyderns each other with a special food like cake ? for example (and also the upgraded defenses could do damage to monster if they got close of the pachydern)

#

and also maybe edit some stuff about them like add them knoback resistance cause litteraly in the original 1.12.2 moc you can punch them away so they don't touch you lol like this its made them more difficult to kill , and other thing I think only when they are angry its could be cool if they have more speed for simulate a charge

#

cause ngl pachyderns when they are angry can run fast and the moc pachyderns are very slow compared to real life

#

and maybe ? add the fact when they attack they have knockback for simulate they use their trunk for eject you away from them.

#

and of course same as precedents suggestions its just for give ideas for you guys ! :>

woven imp
woven imp
#

I do this in only 30minutes :>

#

if you guys want it for the mod I can giv the blockbench model + texture :>

#

just need to tell me

frozen shadow
#

For me it's already better than the original. Although personally I prefer more realistic eyes for mobs instead of huge ones. I'm not in charge of the mod though, But I definitely thing they should switch to it

woven imp
#

thanks :>

#

if there a need for do the other colors just need to tell/ping me here O.O

wanton ginkgo
woven imp

More like this ?

woven imp
#

thanks :>

#

and its just I prefer 2D horns for some reasons O.O

#

just by curiosity I put a request about a suggestion for the goat model ?

#

Oh nice thanks ! well I will put a new request I guess its for this (and profit to do the other I send here)

hope you guys will like it

Well, look what we got here! tomosmug

#

Changes are only going to be visual for now. Legacy behavior would be one of the luxury issues to deal with down the line. Laugh

#

Attacking mobs for the owner might be a worthwhile addition in general. hmmmm

woven imp
#

That means we can ride with this models too ? O.O

#

Let gooooo

woven imp
#

In discussion cause you like the idea :>

woven imp
#

Uhm yay I'm in her dev team why ? and you don't really see to respect her...

#

I will be honest directly , for me I don't have any issue to help both teams Moc Awakened and Moc Extended cause for me its come like fossil and archeology since the mod got open source a team create Fossil and archeology revival and another team create a retro version of fossil for 1.19.2 if there any problem with it ? no well with moc its the same plus the 2 versions will be different mechanics for some stuff. I'm here for the both cause they do hard work for revival a mod of my childhood for update it and upgrade it and this is amazing.

#

Well if you want more details for Moc Awakened since I'm in the dev team I know the new stuff well...There already a lot of new amulets for vanilla pets + insects jar , the golems are complety different and change model O.O the wyvern l'air will be different (cause I will work on create later big blue trees with wyverns nests) and some mobs already got a remodel like ducks , deers , birds ,and the moc wolfs can be tame too , sooooooooooo yay there already have many changes

#

Ok do your life I do mine you will not change my mind.

woven imp
#

Oh I very like the idea

#

I'm just curious if you will do the same with bears

#

cause bears had a retro model too

woven imp
#

Okay np O.O

woven imp
#

Idk if someone see the discussions/request ideas I create on the github O.O

#

and hi btw

cosmic umbra
woven imp
#

I will do other soon O.O

cosmic umbra
#

Thank you, it's really keeping us busy at the moment. sweat
But the next update is around the corner which brings many quality of life features and improvements to the table!
Kitties, for example, are going from a barely usable state to a completely usable state with some neat AI additions.
Other major worthwhile additions is support for various mods and a rework of loot tables and hitboxes.
Our changelog for 12.2.0 has over 50 entries so far.

woven imp
#

yw :> AND NICE FINALY !!

#

kitties will be usefull and not try to just kill me 💀

cosmic umbra
#

We're really happy with the current state of the mod and @fallow geyser is working relentlessly besides me to get the mod to a brighter future! 🙌

woven imp
#

and its for this I thank all of you guys for upgrade that mod

cosmic umbra
#

I think it's time to already reveal some screenshots we prepared for the upcoming release:

outer yacht
#

big cats update

cosmic umbra
#

You can see a new poison scorpion variant along with a new manticore variant. Also legacy big cats are back and can be enabled via config.

woven imp
#

and also I guess the ingot is a silver ingot O.O

#

and the new scorpion armor looks amazing !

cosmic umbra
#

Silver skeletons are going to drop unique silver items and deer are going to drop their own venison meat instead of beef. 🙂

woven imp
#

nice !

woven imp
#

Well let go !

#

I will begun to do some ideas I had in mind on the github

#

some of them will be to restore stuff from the original moc or config suggestions

woven imp
#

Duck meat ? O.O

cosmic umbra
#

GIFs you can hear!

cosmic umbra
woven imp
#

Let go !!!

#

I will go test it :>

woven imp
#

uhm is that normal the baby manticore looks like this ? O.O

2023-07-30_00.07.19.png
#

I don't have optifine or any shaders/texture pack

#

well yes for some reason manticorepets are invisible the manticore are 2 different manticores color normaly

2023-07-30_00.11.06.png
#

at least they work but invisible model

2023-07-30_00.12.30.png
#

Okay good luck for fix this ! :>

cosmic umbra
#

This might be one of the oldest issues of Mo' Creatures still present. All going to be fixed eventually, but not connected to the latest update.

cosmic umbra
woven imp
#

Nice ! :>

#

I will go test it too

#

Thanks for fix the issues

woven imp
#

Nice I see this thing is still alive XDDDD

2023-07-31_11.30.54.png
#

for people who don't understand the context its simple

#

only and only in prairie biomes of biome of plenty when horses spawns in

#

they are tier 1

#

not tier 2

#

and I check donkeys aren't spawn in only horses

#

I think its could be cool to keep this

#

and yes the white horse spawn naturaly I just found it few minutes ago

#

some examples I spawn with spawn eggs

2023-07-31_11.33.54.png
#

and I think without a doubt I'm the one of those rare psychopathes of explorations for creatures who discover this thing

#

but litteraly don't know how and why its happen

#

but this doesn't matter to me cause I can get tier 1 horses naturaly

#

but I so much want to see this dude back among the wild horses of the mod in the wild :' )

2023-07-31_11.44.03.png
#

btw its just me or this texture got edited cause he is not the same

#

👀

woven imp
#

oh well to be honest its looks very good

#

I just hope a day they will spawn naturaly like this all people can see the textures you made for them O.O

woven imp
#

Oh okay O.O there will be a way later in the future to made tier 1 horses spawn ?

#

By curiosity

#

@fallow geyser

#

Oh nice thanks for the info ! I guess that means moc donkey will spawn too among tier 1 horses

#

Okay thanks !^^

cosmic umbra
#

Yes, it has to be hitbox-related, even vanilla horses struggle with enclosed spaces.

cosmic umbra
#

Definitely planned but a larger ordeal.

#

Riding rendering is on the to-do-list for the next update as well.

#

Care to elaborate?

#

That can be due to spawn caps.

#

Are you using other entity mods?

cosmic umbra
#

Other mods can potentially screw up spawns, yes.

cosmic umbra
#

And you're sure it's not modpack-specific?

winter hemlock
#

Hi
Im looking for a way to increase mo creature mobs like it was in 1.5.2 or 1.6.4 but when i try it also increase vanilla mob spawn
Does any of you have a config for that?
I want as many mobs and creatures as possible

cosmic umbra
#

frequency alters the spawn weight that directly affects the chance which entities are chosen for spawn spots.

winter hemlock
#

How can i acces it?

cosmic umbra
# winter hemlock How can i acces it?

These are config files which you can find inside the config\MoCreatures folder of your Minecraft instance. Edit them with a text editor of your choice.

cosmic umbra
#

Either way, the custom AI did not age very well and can be replaced with vanilla means in many cases, so we're gradually working on that. 🫡

#

Definitely! We notice that during testing as well. A matter of time! 🙂

cosmic umbra
#

If that's solely caused by Mo' Creatures, that is.

cosmic umbra
#

Yeah, this should be cross-mod interaction which is interesting to debug to say the least. jinjaShrug2

#

You can start profiling with the command /spark profiler start and stop it with /spark profiler stop. During profiling, try to trigger as many stuttering entities as possible. 😉

#

Yeah, it somehow requires a special version of Spark, can't remember the exact reason. You might disable LoliASM during testing.

#

No, we're trying to debug his modpack-specific issue, right? 😄

#

But as we're both not getting similar issues in vanilla-like settings, Rex' setup matters most for now.

#

You usually get a chat message?

#

Thanks, can you see if the issue persists when you disable Fluidlogged API?

#

Just to make sure, because we had TPS issues connected to Fluidlogged API in the past.

#

Other than that, several mods are mentioned but none particularly standing out. Lini_hm

cosmic umbra
#

Any better?

cosmic umbra
#

Could be anything, really. I guess your modpack is not public?

cosmic umbra
#

Since I'm biased, I'm running Universal Tweaks in my test instances and haven't noticed that so far. think_eyes

#

You can get rid of Performant, the latest version is in fact a placebo. 😉

cosmic umbra
#

By which means? PauseChamp

cosmic umbra
#

Without changing mods?

cosmic umbra
foggy smelt
#

can you add pet naming cancel config

cosmic umbra
#

We should have most of the suffocation issues under control as eye heights were fixed.

cosmic umbra
cosmic umbra
#

Eye level decides suffocation, indeed. 😉

foggy smelt
#

lol I am looking for a texture pack that change the skin of animals to look like high version , such as fox

cosmic umbra
cosmic umbra
#

We sadly can't reproduce! Lini_hm

#

Any hints? This might be an edge case or modpack-specific though.

woven imp
#

Oh I see

cosmic umbra
woven imp
#

thanks O.O

cosmic umbra
woven imp
#

they are cute

#

btw

#

by curiosity would you need help for made simple models for some creatures you want to add ?

#

Cause I could help to do it with the moc style

cosmic umbra
#

Currently, it's the other way around. We got the models and are missing the logic. jinjaShrug2

woven imp
#

Okay np if you need help for creature I'm here just in case just need to ask me in private or ping me here O.O

cosmic umbra
#

We'll keep this in mind, thank you! 🙇‍♂️

winter hemlock
#

hello is this mod still worked on?

woven imp
#

Idk I guess yes.or maybe they just take a break on the mod

cosmic umbra
#

More or less on a short hiatus.
