Atmospheric Fauna Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to do anything to start seeing birds?
No setup required—birds spawn automatically once the mod is installed. They'll appear in different biomes based on the environment, so just explore and look up to spot them.
Why am I not seeing any birds in my world?
Birds spawn based on biome type and time of day, so try visiting different environments like forests or plains. If you're in a biome with no bird spawns, travel to a new area and give the game a moment to load them in.
Can I turn off birds in certain areas?
The mod doesn't include per-area toggles, but you can disable the entire mod through your mod manager if needed. Birds will spawn naturally wherever the mod is active.
Do birds affect my FPS or cause lag?
The mod is designed to run smoothly, but if you experience performance issues, check the mod's configuration options to reduce particle effects or bird spawn rates. The guide 'Reduce Lag While Enjoying Bird Populations' covers optimization in detail.
What happens when I approach a bird?
Birds react to your presence—some species fly away in fear while others show curiosity and may linger nearby. Their behavior varies by bird type, so different species will respond differently to you.
Do birds only fly alone or do they flock together?
Different bird species have unique habits; some fly in large flocks while others prefer to travel solo. Check the 'Observe Bird Behavior and Flocking Patterns' guide to learn which birds group together.
Can I attract more birds to my base or farm?
Certain environmental factors encourage birds to spawn and linger in areas—the 'Attract More Birds to Your Area' guide covers specific strategies for bringing more flocks near your location.
Will birds spawn at night or only during the day?
Bird spawn rates and activity vary by time of day and biome, with some species more active at certain times. Explore during different times to see which birds are most active when.
Is this mod compatible with other mods that add animals?
The mod is designed to work alongside other mods since birds are purely visual and client-side. However, check for any specific mod conflicts in the configuration if you experience issues.
How do I identify which bird species I'm looking at?
Each bird type has distinct colors and flying patterns—Blue Jays are bright blue, Crows are dark and flock together, Northern Cardinals are striking red, and Common Swifts move very quickly. The 'Identify Different Bird Species in Your World' guide provides detailed visual descriptions.
