**Araxer\u2019s Bestiary** is an immersive, dynamically generated in-game compendium of Minecraft\u2019s creatures. It provides players with detailed information about monsters \u2014 including stats, spawn locations, and loot \u2014 in a clear and interactive UI.<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re a beginner trying to survive your first night or an expert designing optimized mob farms, this mod helps you understand exactly what you\u2019re fighting.<\/p>\n

## \ud83e\udde0 Why Use This Mod?<\/p>\n
* Learn what mobs drop without external wikis.
\n* Design better farms with drop rate knowledge.
\n* Enhance exploration, modpacks, and hardcore gameplay.
\n* Supports modded mobs<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
## \ud83c\udfae How to Use<\/p>\n
* Craft the Bestiary Book with a Book, Spider Eye, Bone, and Rotten Flesh.
\n* Or use the Keybind `B` (default) to open the Bestiary Screen
\n* Configurable if you don’t like using the Keybind and use the Book instead
\n* Configure progression and visibility in the mod\u2019s config file.
\n* Filters for the searchbar:
\n * @[modname]
\n * #[category] – monster, creature, water, underground, ambient, axolotls and misc
\n * #boss
\n * #discovered
\n * #sighted
\n * #new
\n * $[rank] – $s, $a, $b, $c, $d, $e
\n * %[biome\/structure\/condition] – %savanna, %fortress, %night<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udd27 Configuration<\/p>\n
Progression and visibility options are available via Forge config:<\/p>\n
* Enable or disable progression-based discovery like the Terraria Bestiary
\n* Customize UI behavior or filter entities for players
\n* Add or override information using datapacks<\/p>\n
Information about structures or special spawn conditions is not possible to read from the game – hence the possibility to supplement this information<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udce6 Compatibility<\/p>\n
* Supports modded entities and loot tables.
\n* Fully server-compatible (Forge).
\n* Does **not** require other mods or dependencies.<\/p>\n
If there are mobs missing you can either add their category into `monsterCategories` or their name `”minecraft:sheep”` just directly into the `entityIncludeList` in the config.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
You are allowed to use this mod in any modpack.<\/p>\n

## Additional Note<\/p>\n
I can only emphasize to use loottables to add loot for entities as its easier to read from. Because some mobs have loot and it is just not shown as it’s conditional or custom implemented.<\/p>\n
For bosses to declare BOSS in the class name or use the approprate interface to implement bosses would make automatic registering easier. Some mods add BOSS as prefix or suffix and for some reason other entities in the same mod do not at all.<\/p>\n
For that there is the possibility to add information via datapack if it is missing, so no problem as a modpack creator just more work because mods do their thing. Just declare a mob as boss or override the spawns if they are heavily cusomized from a modpack creator.<\/p>\n
