Alex's Mobs — Guide

Getting Started

1. New mobs begin spawning naturally in their matching biomes - no extra setup required. Alex's Mobs relies on the Citadel library to load.
2. Grab the Animal Dictionary (see its own section) early so you can look up where each creature lives and what it drops.

You can also get any creature instantly with its spawn egg from the Creative inventory, which is the fastest way to study a mob you have not found yet.

Land Animals

• Grizzly Bear - roams forests and rivers; catches salmon, eats honey, and is dangerous if you get near a cub. Drops can be cooked into honey-based foods.
• Gorilla - found in jungles; can be tamed with bananas to follow and defend you.
• Elephant - a rideable, saddleable powerhouse of the savanna that can be fitted with a platform/howdah and even a chest or weapon mounts.
• Komodo Dragon - a venomous desert reptile whose bite inflicts a stacking poison.
• Kangaroo - bounces across the outback, can be bred and tamed, and a joey will ride in its pouch; its hide and tooth are used in crafting.
• Capuchin Monkey - a tameable jungle companion that can throw items and help in fights.
• Roadrunner - an extremely fast desert bird; its feather is used for speed-related gear.
• Warthog, Bison, Anaconda, Crocodile, Rattlesnake and many more fill out savannas, plains, swamps, and rivers, each with unique drops.

Air & Sky

• Bald Eagle - a tameable raptor of the mountains and forests that can be sent to attack and will perch on your shoulder.
• Crow / Raven - can be tamed and will carry small items for you.
• Flying creatures add aerial encounters and provide feathers and other materials used in specialized recipes.

Aquatic Animals

• Orca - a fast, intelligent ocean predator that hunts in pods and can be befriended with fish.
• Frilled Shark - a deep-ocean fish that drops valuable materials.
• Mimic Octopus - disguises itself as other mobs and inks when threatened.
• Sea creatures such as the catfish, leafcutter-adjacent aquatics, and others provide unique seafood and crafting drops, rewarding ocean exploration.

Bosses

These are the mod's marquee fights, each dropping a signature reward:

• Void Worm - summoned in the End; a colossal serpent that drops the void worm heart used for end-game gear.
• Cachalot Whale - a giant sperm whale of the deep ocean.
• Warped Toad - a Nether-warp creature.
• Bunfungus - a fungal rabbit boss.
• Cosmaw - a space-faring creature tied to the End.
• Laviathan - a lava-dwelling leviathan of the Nether.

Approach bosses prepared - they have large health pools, area attacks, and unique mechanics.

Taming & Breeding

Taming and breeding rules are creature-specific - the Animal Dictionary lists the exact item for each. General tips:

• Tame with the food that matches the animal's diet (e.g. bananas for gorillas/capuchins, fish for orcas and eagles, raw meat for predators). Repeat-feed until hearts appear.
• Breed two tamed/adult animals by feeding both their breeding food; a baby spawns and grows over time.
• Companions (capuchin, eagle, gorilla, etc.) will follow, defend you, and can be told to sit/stay.
• Mounts (elephant, etc.) accept a saddle and sometimes a chest or weapon platform.
• Babies are vulnerable - keep predators and angry parents away while they grow.

Animal Dictionary

The Animal Dictionary is an in-game guidebook that documents every creature the mod adds. For each animal it shows:

• a 3D model preview and the creature's name,
• its habitat / spawn biome,
• its diet and the items used to tame or breed it,
• its drops and the recipes those drops unlock,
• behavior notes and trivia.

Craft or obtain the Animal Dictionary and keep it handy - it is the single best reference while you explore, far quicker than guessing what each new mob eats or drops.
