Nice Mob Variants Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I find different mob variants?
Travel to different biomes—savannas, snowy beaches, swamps, dark forests, and the Nether each spawn their own animal variants. You can also search for custom structures like Fallen Mushrooms and Potato Farms, which are more likely to contain rare variants nearby.
What's the easiest way to start breeding animals automatically?
Place a Livestock Breeder block inside or near your animal pen; it will periodically trigger breeding for nearby cows, pigs, rabbits, chickens, and sheep without any manual work.
How do I get custom bird eggs like Duck or Penguin eggs?
Find or breed the bird variants in the wild, then collect their eggs. You can also rename a standard chicken to "Benny" using a name tag to turn it into a Duck.
Why aren't my frogs eating?
Place a Frog Feeder block near your frogs—it periodically spawns food entities that frogs will eat. Make sure the block is close enough for the frogs to reach the food.
Do Roosters lay eggs?
No, Roosters are a special chicken variant that crow in the morning but do not lay eggs, so they're useful for ambiance rather than farming.
What happens when Ender animals take damage?
Ender animals have a unique mechanic where they teleport when hurt, making them harder to catch or farm than standard variants.
Can I breed different mob variants together?
The Livestock Breeder triggers breeding for the standard animal types (cows, pigs, rabbits, chickens, sheep); breeding between specific variants follows normal Minecraft breeding rules.
Where do custom structures spawn?
Structures like End Farms, Potato Farms, Graveyards, Monoliths, and Fallen Mushrooms spawn randomly across different dimensions and biomes as you explore.
Do I need to do anything special to use the Livestock Breeder block?
Just place it near your animals—no crafting, fuel, or activation required. It works automatically as long as there are compatible animals nearby and enough space for babies to spawn.
Can I find all mob variants in one biome?
No, different biomes spawn different variants, so you'll need to explore multiple biomes and structures to collect the full range of cats, chickens, and cows.
