MOD REQUIRES FEATURE RECYCLER MOD AND GECKOLIB

OVERVIEW

Caves & Creatures is a mod that adds three cave biomes full of new creatures you can bring home as pets. With 23 new mobs, including an ancient axolotl species called “Salotls” that has over 130 variants, each biome brings its own personality and fun. If I include all variants, the total number of mobs added in this mod would be 185 mobs! Almost all mobs are now tamable and can be made to sit/wander/stay wih the use of a stick. With more being added frequently, there is always something new to explore! This mod can be paired with other cave exploration mods to create a giant revamp of Minecraft’s caves. While this cave mod is more focused on pets and animals, future biomes may have other focal points. This mod has been two years in the making as a solo project. Download and explore it yourself to see what you can find!

The rest of this overview will be split into 5 categories, with the three biomes being the first three, Salotls being the fourth, and The Collector being the fifth. This is a solo project, expect bugs. With that being said,  If you comment the issue I will work to get it fixed asap!

This project is not done so expect many updates going forward.

Feedback on mobs health is appreciated. Is it too high? Too low? Leave a comment and let me know!

MADE WITH GECKOLIB USING MCREATOR

Ancient Lush Caves

The Ancient Lush Caves is a sandy and green tropical cave with beautiful blue water, very similar to lush caves. However, Ancient Lush Caves has sandy lakes, mud ponds, tar pits, hybrid creatures, and more! Tar pits are dangerous—don’t fall in! This cave currently has 8 different mobs. These mobs include Frogbats, Tiger Cubs, Spider Snakes, Meganeura, Ophthalmosaurus, Liopleurodon, Jaucans, and Salotls. You may wanna bring milk buckets as the Spider Snakes have a paralytic venom. All tamable creatures can be tamed with heart fruit or glow berries for now, besides the Liopleurodon, which requires the meat of a Ophthalmosaurus to tame it.

Deserted Depths

The Deserted Depths is a cave full of sweets and treats. Got a sweet tooth? Well, this will be your new favorite place! In this biome, you will find lots of food, colorful blocks similar to concrete sand called “sugar sand,” and various creatures with a sweet twist. Sugar sand, although similar to concrete powder, is more vibrant and doesn’t fall like concrete powder. This can be very useful for colorful ceilings or other builds! This cave currently has 10 different mobs, including Sweet Sabers (NEW), Candy Corn Mouse (NEW), Ice Cream Crabs, Chocolate Chipmunks, Sugar Skull Snails, Swiss Roll Snails, Elephant Animal Crackers, Cinnamon Rollie Pollies, Popturtles, Candy Mouse Lemurs, Ice Cream Carp, Other Chipmunks, and Salotls. All tamable Creatures here can be tamed with Rainbow Glowcandies, Chocolate Covered Glowberries, and White Chocolate Covered Glowberries. Ice cream stalks can be harvested with a bowl to get ice cream. You can then combine the ice cream bowls with sprinkles to make sprinkled ice cream! Cherrys and Lollipops can be harvested from their bushes.

Salotls

Salotls are an ancient species of axolotls that can only be found in the three new biomes added, as well as a few that can be found in Dripstone Caves and caves from other mods. There are currently 136 different Salotls that can be found. Salotls can be bucketed, and when placed from a bucket, they are given a default nametag to prevent despawning. When bucketed you can use jei to find out information on how to tame them by hovering over the item with your mouse and pressing the "R" key.

The Collector

The Collector is a new villager who trades rare items that can only be obtained through him! As of now, he only trades for 2 items. Many more will be coming soon! His trade block is a normal chest for now.

Note: Bucketed animals from my mod DO NOT WORK IF TAKEN FROM CREATIVE! Hopefully, this will be fixed soon. Some Salotls are more rare than others, and I plan on adding many more! Pictures of some Salotls can be found in the images, and please comment with suggestions.

a mod that will add many new cave biomes and creatures
