How to Use the Zoological Guide and Trade with the Hunter
Learning how over 20 new species behave, what items they drop, and how custom gear works does not require guessing. Cube Animals includes built-in progression tools through an informational guidebook and a dedicated trader.
Reading the Zoological Guide
When you create and enter a new world, a Zoological Guide book is placed directly into your inventory.
- Open the book from your hotbar to inspect detailed pages on every animal, custom item, and mod mechanic.
- Use it before exploring unfamiliar biomes to check whether newly spotted wildlife is passive, neutral, or aggressive.
- Look up crafting recipes for custom gear like the Animal Transporter and Sleep Arrows, or check which animals offer storage and enchanting perks.
Finding and Trading with the Hunter
As you explore the Overworld, keep an eye out for the Hunter, a custom character added by the mod.
1. Approach the Hunter and interact with them just like a vanilla villager to view their trade list.
2. Sell items: Trade animal drops or other gathered materials to the Hunter to earn currency or resources.
3. Buy gear: Spend your earnings to purchase useful hunting and capture equipment—including Animal Transporters—saving you the trouble of gathering raw crafting ingredients yourself.
