Have you ever felt that Minecraft\u2019s world can feel a little quiet at times?
\nThat the forests, rivers, and beaches look alive, but uhm don\u2019t always sound or move alive? <\/p>\n
**More Animals** was created to change that.
\nThis mod brings new animals and small details into the game to make the world feel more vibrant, immersive, and alive while staying true to the vanilla style we all love.
\nFrom curious raccoons sneaking around your camps, to butterflies fluttering through meadows and forests, to crocodiles lurking in swamps, every creature is designed to feel like it naturally belongs in Minecraft. With it’s own set of features.<\/p>\n
Alongside the mobs, MoAnimals also adds new environmental touches like **duckweed** that grows across calm water, giving lakes and ponds more atmosphere. <\/p>\n
> ## \u26a0\ufe0f Development Status
\n> More Animals is currently under **active development**.
\nThings will change, features are being tested, and not everything is polished yet. If you\u2019d like to grow with the mod, now\u2019s the time to join in.
