About Critters n' Crawlers

From Modrinth

A small mod that expands the temperate & cold biomes by adding north American animals & myths!

Welcome to Critters n' Crawlers! -

Formally a small quick project made by me and my friend and originally made for our private Minecraft server, this mod helps fix an issue not only of vanilla Minecraft but even the Modded community; a lack of wild animals/monsters associated with temperate and cold climates. This mod adds various different Critters but there may be a few Crawlers lurking... so watch out.

THIS MOD REQUIRES GECKOLIB TO FUNCTION! -
