Wildwood Echoes Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the mod after installing it?
The mod runs automatically once installed—you'll start seeing birds, butterflies, and other wildlife in your world right away. If you don't see anything, open the settings menu with /worldalive to check that wildlife features are enabled.
Why am I not seeing any birds in my biome?
Different bird species only spawn in their native biomes; for example, toucans appear in jungles and flamingos near water. Check the biome you're in and try exploring different areas, or use /worldalive to confirm wildlife spawning is turned on.
Can I turn off specific animals but keep others?
Yes, use the /worldalive command to open the settings menu where you can toggle individual wildlife types on or off to customize your experience.
Does this mod cause server lag?
No, Wildwood Echoes runs entirely on the client side, so it won't affect server performance even on multiplayer servers.
How do I find butterflies?
Butterflies like Blue Morpho, Monarch, and Painted Lady flutter around flowers and forests in the Overworld, while Nether variants appear in Nether forests; explore these biomes and look near floral areas.
Are there any Nether wildlife?
Yes, the Nether has special butterfly variants like Flaming Crescent and Warping Crescent butterflies that fly through Nether forests.
What should I do if the mod is making my game lag?
Use /worldalive to reduce particle density or disable certain wildlife types; you can also lower your render distance or particle settings in Minecraft's video options.
Do birds actually do anything or are they just decoration?
Birds are purely decorative and ambient—they fly in flocks, rest on blocks, and make natural bird calls to bring life to your world without affecting gameplay.
Can I see geckos and cicadas in every biome?
No, geckos and cicadas are biome-specific: green geckos climb jungle trees, Mediterranean geckos roam warm deserts, and cicadas cling to tree trunks in plains and hot biomes.
What are the distant ambient effects I sometimes see?
The mod spawns distant sights like desert mirages, ocean boats, and riders on horseback to add atmosphere to your world from afar.
