Frequently Asked Questions - frikinzi/frikinzis_fauna GitHub Wiki

Will the mod come for 1.19/1.20?

A 1.20.1 port is in progress. Please see the Discord server for updates.

What is the theme of this mod?

The mod adds birds, fish and small invertebrates not usually found in other Minecraft Mods. I felt that Minecraft was lacking a lot of avians and fish. Land animals are not to be added in the near future.

Who is working on the mod? Do you need team members?

Currently It's just me and Kiew! I don't need much help as of now, but model /art donations etc. are welcome.

Can you please add x bird or x variant?

Feel free to make suggestions in ⁠the discord server, whether it’s about an animal or a feature request. I can’t put every suggestion into the mod, but I do read through everyone’s! Multiple people’s suggestions already made it in. I don’t put in suggestions based on popularity of the animal, but more about my interest in making a model for the animal.

Will you add extinct birds/mammals/reptiles/amphibians/nematodes/worms/yeast/flies/fleas?

No. It's out of the scope of the mod.

What version is the mod for?

Minecraft 1.12.2, 1.16.5, and 1.18.

Can I tame and breed the mobs?

Yes. Most parrots and birds of prey can be bred and tamed. All information is on the wiki.

My game crashed!

First, check that you installed Geckolib and the correct version (3.0.0+ for 1.12.2/1.16, and using the forge version not the fabric version). If there is another problem, post in the ⁠issues channel or on GitHub.

Why can’t I seem to spawn in some variants?

Some variants have been made biome-specific or breed-only to add to realism. I understand that this can be annoying for people who just want to play in creative mode and get all the variants. To summon a specific variant, the general command is /summon creatures:[name of animal in lower caps] ~ ~ ~ {Variant:[number of variant]}

please note: case sensitive

This is not always the case and there may be gender specific variants. (Gender:1 where 1 is male, 2 is female) So look on the wiki if it doesn’t work.

To find the number of the variant you want, the wiki will have this information in the variants section.

Can I change the spawn rates/disable spawns?

Yes. Look in the configuration file: https://github.com/frikinzi/frikinzis_fauna/wiki/Configuration

Why can’t I put a lead on any of the mobs?

You can, but sadly it’s a GeckoLib issue. The leads are there, just invisible.

Why can’t I open the GUI?

You must right click a bird with the book in hand.

Why did nothing hatch from my egg/roe?

Eggs/roe only have a chance of hatching into a baby. Try breeding your birds/fish again!

How does breeding work? (1.16.5)

https://github.com/frikinzi/frikinzis_fauna/wiki/Breeding

Can fish breed?

1.12: yes, same as vanilla breeding 1.16+: In 1.5.0+, fish are able to breed. You can either throw their favorite food at them when there are at least 2 fish in the area, or hand feed them.

Can I make a video about Frikinzi's Fauna?

Yes! I'd love to see it too, so drop a link in the discord or send it to me!

Will x feature from x new version be in x older version?

Yes, eventually.

Note: only new animals will be added to 1.12, and not new features (i.e. breeding mechanic)
