Do I need CliffTree mod installed for this to work?
Yes, the Butter Bee Mob Variants Mod requires CliffTree to function properly. Without it, the new animal variants won't spawn correctly in their designated biomes.
How do I find a specific variant like the Frosty chicken?
Travel to the biome where that variant spawns—Frosty chickens only appear in snowy taigas. Each variant is tied to specific biomes, so you won't find them elsewhere naturally.
Can I breed two different variants together?
Yes, you can breed variants from different biomes, but the offspring will be one of the parent variants rather than a new hybrid. The baby's type depends on which parent variant's biome rules apply.
Do variant animals drop different items than regular mobs?
No, all variants of the same animal type (like all cows) drop the same items and materials regardless of their appearance or biome variant.
Why aren't the new variants spawning in my world?
Make sure CliffTree is installed and enabled, and that you're in the correct biome for the variant you're looking for. If you're in an already-explored area, new chunks may need to generate for variants to appear.
Can I find wolf variants in every biome?
No, wolves only spawn in specific biomes—Shaggy in shrublands, Cloaked in coniferous badlands, and Charcoal in snowy old growth taigas. You'll need to travel to these biomes to find them.
What's the best way to set up a biome-themed animal farm?
Build your farm in a biome that matches the variants you want to keep, then breed animals there to maintain their type. Alternatively, you can capture variants from different biomes and transport them to a central farm location.
Do Marsh pigs and Bog pigs spawn in the same places?
No, Marsh pigs spawn in swamps while Bog pigs spawn specifically in bog biomes. These are different biomes, so you'll need to visit both to collect both variants.
Will this mod affect my performance or cause lag?
The mod adds new textures and variants but shouldn't cause significant performance issues on most systems. If you experience lag, it's likely due to having many mobs loaded at once rather than the mod itself.
Can I use these variants in multiplayer servers?
Yes, as long as all players on the server have both the Butter Bee Mob Variants Mod and CliffTree installed, everyone will see the same variants in the same biomes.
