Hello! Just wanted to let you know that

the toads are bugged. They

make a croaking sound, but then they

follow

this up with another sound like uncontrollable sobbing

and then my game crashes with the 'wail'

getting 'drawing out' for a few seconds before a half-color picture of a

grey lady with way too many

teeth freezes on the screen 

for several minutes. Let me know when this is fixed! Thank

you 😀

(Just assuming this is a prank -- really 

freaked me out the first time I saw it, but

now I find it

really funny, if somewhat irritating 😂)

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that the toads are bugged. They make their ribbit sound, then it makes a sound like "deposit photo"? I'm not 100% sure what it says but I don't think they're supposed to make that noise!

Did the mod need to be add on a new map or it will work on an already existing save?

Is this mod planning to be continued/updated for 1.18.x ? Minni6in

Will this be updated for 1.18.5?

May I suggest more animals such as Ducks, Seagulls, Seals, Giraffes and Rhinos, basic (house)Dog and (house)Cat types too? Great idea for a mod that adds a lot of life to the game.

Yanazake

I assume you mean this mod https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/4216 Thanks, I'll take a look.

There is an unofficial version available in the mod DB. It still works perfectly! I was surprised when I saw hippos for the first time when testing mods in 1.18 RC8!

Minni6in

Would it be possible to update this fantastic mod to version 1.18?

can the recipe for the croc skin backpack be changed to allow for papyrus, makes sense as crocodiles in warm climates, papyrus only in warm climates, right? 

Tested, seems to unfortunately crash with the latest version of VS

I love this, fauna needs to be updated!! Please, if you understand the code, take these same creatures and make them in a miniboss version, it shouldn't cost much, it's a pity I don't have any idea of ​​Java T.T In any case, thank you very much!!!!, let's see if it works well on a server

I made a pt-br translation for the fix of this mod made by KenigVovan
Hopefully it works with the original too for whoever need it.
Put it inside the lang folder for this mod named as pt-br.json

Please update to 1.7.9

There's a temp mod for this repackaged for 1.7. Creatures and Critters Unofficial. It has a couple lags, if it doesnt boot up right the first time try a couple times again. Working for me right now!

Take your time, King!
Just make it awesome, *smooch*!

I apreciate your hard work and wish you well!

Any luck with updating it Minni6in ? Would really love to get this mod working in my 1.17 game!

Thanks for all the hard work putting it together, it must have taken a long time, IMO this is probably the best mod for VS.

gonna be a bit longer then I thought, life's getting busy again, will get to it when I can though 👍

Im back, gimme a week or so but I'll get it all up to speed, I work a lot again but I'll put in the time when I got it. I've got work, I'm learning to code apps and I'm in the middle of writing a novel so bare with me

Hope someone takes this over someday. Amazing mod.

Is this working anymore? Anybody take over this great mod? Can it be intergrated into the main game?

Sorry if this question seme dumb but i was wondering if we could capture sea snails/snails/frogs alive

Minni6in, can you post the source or where I may find it? Regarding your last comment, I am curious if I can figure out what needs to happen to update it for 1.17. Thanks for all you've done, this has made the (virtual) world feel so much more alive.

I'm extremely busy irl and haven't found time to update these, anybody who wants to take over my mods has my full permission, just credit me somewhere and it's all good

Would love to see this mod updated to 1.17 ! It looks so good 

translation rus add pls

how do I access the config file and gain the ability to remove the squirrels or change spawn rates?

Will we ever be able to ride some of these animals?

Absolutely Loving the mod. 

Though, are Elephants supposed to congregate in herds of 60+ animals? Because it is seriously tanking my frame rate. Even just kulling them with /entity removebytype elephant-* didn't help because more would immediatly spawn in. T-T I'm going to have to disable them.

ok, the Toads sound clip was like 100% taken from a TV show, or something, at the VERY end of the toad sound clip, you can hear a "impossible" 

Nuk_17 - if you use Primitive Survival, a row of snares, baited or otherwise, along the fenceline, will get most of the squirrels, as well as just about anything else. Resetting them can be a bit of a pain, but effective so far and extra meat, skin and bones.

Minni6in

Speaking of extra meat, the baby squirrels seem to be giving similar drops to the adults. Is that intended or have I just been stupid lucky?

Pls add spiders (desert, wooden and home)
Imagine - home terrariums with spiders, frogs and geckos 😍

How do you tame these?  The alpacas don't seem to follow for grass, carrots or flax seeds.  The male chased me when poked, but the females only run away

All my modding is on hiatus for a little while, dealing with some irl things that will be taking all my time, not gone forever but ya just thought I'd let everybody know why the development stopped suddenly

https://pastebin.com/gK8j9kyA

pastebin.com/jVAeCfuU

Here is a log of some errors I get the client-main log.

Looks like the meal patches need the "-" after the "validStacks" value, instead of numbers. Like MoreCrops has.

captured kiwi birds twice, brought them home and they despawned or somehow escaped (first time the pen was a 1 high fence, second time it was 2 high in case they jumped somehow) is there any way to keep them from despawning?

Not 100% sure if this is the cause, but our cows are no longer able to eat from troughs. All the applicable creatures from here and the pigs and sheep still can, but since we updated to 1.2.0 the cows cannot and are not listed on the trough description

squirrels will climb over fencing to get to crops, which is unsurprisingly extremely irritating with no way to scare them off 

new animals are not spawning in my world like elephants, camels, crocs, hippos, tigers, crosswary,tortoises,salamanders, honey bagders, jellyfish etc. i also have 2 animals mods, lichen and midieval expansion so i dont know if they are interfering with this mod. i have about like 20-30 mods. so i dont know what is causing the issue.

Yes, that's right.We can't handle it until the other mods.

But if a water update comes to vanilla and adds a breathing element, the same animals will likely suffocate on their own.

The crocodile's small attack range was intentional. Understood.I look forward to future updates.😆

@ macoto_hino   crocs attack range is pretty low, I want them to stay in the water for reasons, not sure what to do about gas mod, never planned for something like that lol

It is an environmental issue here, but when we introduce Asphyxia (Gas API), animals are often suffocating to death by sticking their heads in trees.
Elephants in particular often die on their own because of their large bodies.

And I think the black dolphins should attack more other animals that come to the water's edge.
I felt odd about the crocodiles not attacking at all even though there are herbivores nearby, so I'm reporting it anyway.😆

Translated Creatures and Critters 1.2.0.😁

CreaturesandCritters1.2.0 - ja.json

1.2.0 should be good to release at some point today

got honey badgers in the works, fearless little monsters

the config file is all ready for 1.2.0, gonna see what else I want to do before release

Idea for mini bosses from Red Dead Redemption

How about legendary animals that have limited spawn conditions and you have to find those exact conditions to find them

Cave bear or extra large brown bear with lots scar marks

Sabre Tooth Tiger 

Irish Elk or Woolly Rhino

Woolly Mammoth in very cold tiaga forest

Terror bird in savanna

Now I understand why I didn't found them - it was too warm :D Will search more then, thank you for info :)

@ Sindanarmo   it needs to be -28 to -60 to find them, they're pretty rare but they spawn in groups of 1 male, 3 females and 3 calfs

Hello, how far north I need to be to meet a caribou? Because I'm wandering second ingame day in coordinates -37000 ish (so pretty far north) on an edge of a very big forest and didn't seen any so far xD

the next update is just going to be an optimization update, might add something new too but I want to add control for spawn rates to the config file for ease of control mostly. I'm also gonna add some more animations to some of the animals to bring even more life to the game

Translated Creatures and Critters 1.1.9.😬

Animal bones, skins, horns, and leather will eventually be left over, so it would be nice to see some recipes added that can be used for something else.

CreaturesandCritters1.1.9 - ja.json

K I'll be starting the Pack Animals update tonight, enjoy the new milkable animals 😁

Camels and caribou shouldn't be long now, they are extreme hot and cold animals meant for an immersive feeling when playing extreme hot or cold games. Both milkable and they both provide more fat then other animals

I'll start work on the pack animals update right after this is released

camels and caribou are next, they will also get Pack Animal variants

Translated Creatures and Critters 1.1.8.😉

CreaturesandCritters1.1.8 - ja.json

k that was a hiccup, 1.1.8 is released

the add-on is all working so Im gonna polish over everything for 1.1.8 and release them both today

also I'm creating an add-on mod that requires Pet AI which makes certain animals into pack animals, right now it'll just be alpacas but I'll add more, like camels when I create those and elk for those arctic playthroughs

shouldn't be too much longer on 1.1.8, got a lot of stuff to comb over then we're all good

cassowaries are almost ready aswell

got salamanders and moths coming so far, oh and alpaca color variations, I'm doing a few more things then I'll release 1.1.8

Nice to hear!

And huh... I do hope Wildcraft* (forgot about the name change lol) isn't the culprit, I did use some of it's vegetables in my crafting...

Hotfix released

@ Ryker moose is on my list, just tested crawfish in soup and it's working, you must have a conflict somewhere, it goes in the crock just fine too I just made crawfish carrot soup and put it in a crock no problems

Two ideas: Moose for colder northern climates?

And for Crawfish, I tried adding some to soup, but it didn't seem to work? Also couldn't put the meal I made using them instead into a Crock, no clue if that's not supposed to be possible or not.

gonna push a small hotfix today correcting some stuff, like the annoying alpacas lol 😅

@ macoto_hino I'll put that in the hotfix

Translated Creatures and Critters 1.1.7.😬

CreaturesandCritters1.1.7 - ja.json

@ Shion I don't have foals in my mod, I'll lessen the amount of times alpacas make sounds

Dead foal doesn't seem to have a death animation/state. It just stands there as usual and can be harvested for stuff.

Alpacas are still annoying too.

Really enjoying this mod. Makes the game come alive. Thanks.

@OpPointBaker, thanks, I didn't realize it!

Minni6in, thanks!

not sure whats next, More Crops needs some love so I'm gonna get that done before thinking bout the next animals, I do wanna add some more insects for caves and maybe salamanders for forests

got puma coming next too, so komodos, hippos and pumas

@ Sindanarmo  sure I'll put it on my list

Maybe you could also add lynx? ^.^

@ Amigurumi pumas will be in soon, I was thinking bout doing a moose too, we'll see

@ OpPointBaker I will look into that it sounds intriguing

I forgot to quiet the sounds, will be in the next update, also I didnt mean to disable red dye and that will be fixed too, if you need red dye fixed now put this in CC's assets\game\recipes\barrel\dye red.json

edit : this will be a patch in the next update not a file

hussar Pet AI adds that kind of functionallity. Its supposed to be open enough to allow 3rd parties to add funtionality to any animal. I've been considering making foxes tameable but haven't put the effort into figuring it out yet. If you wanted to, look at both Pet AI and the companion mod Wolf Taming. There is equipment added in Wolf Taming that allows you to use tamed wolves as pack animals. 

Alpacas are very loud for some weird reason..

next up is hippos and komodo dragons, I'll do some cold climate things next I promise 😅

@ hussar that would require some code which I don't want to add to the mod if I can help it but there is other modders who could do that to them with a seperate mod for sure

I've been dreaming for a long time of pack animals--an animal that can be tamed to follow you and carry inventory.  Both alpacas and elephants would work.  If there's any way to add inventory slots to a mob, that would be incredible!

next up is breedable elephants and breedable alpacas, the alpacas also give milk

Translated Creatures and Critters 1.1.5.

CreaturesandCritters1.1.5 - ja.json

update is comin in a few hours, just fine checking all the new stuff and making sure I applied my changes to the current things, I'll tweak crawfish to spawn even more, edit : I had crawfish spawning at night thats probably why nobody was seeing them, that'll be changed for 1.1.5

Sparrows definitely better now - see and hear them from time to time :) Still didn't see any crawfish tho xD

up next is crocodiles for sure, it's almost ready actually. Gonna do a few more things like fixing the frogs sitting while in water

Translated Creatures and Critters 1.1.4.

CreaturesandCritters1.1.4 - ja.json

The next update will have spawns optimized, I've compiled info and am going over them all very thoroughly atm

Also wanted to update crawfish topic - still din't see any, generated new world with spawn in temperate climate and still nope. The same with sparrows :/

@ macoto_hino   okay it will be in tomorrow when I update to 1.1.4 no prob 😉

Translated Creatures and Critters 1.1.3

This is the corrected version, as it was not properly translated into Japanese due to a missing [,].🤣

CreaturesandCritters1.1.3 - ja.json

coming soon, hamsters, geckos and wild breeding tigers and some more stuff too 😁

@ YourCreator thanks, will be in next update

@ macoto_hino thanks, same

@ Amigurumi thank you 😁

Translated Creatures and Critters 1.1.2.

CreaturesandCritters1.1.2 - ja.json

This mod is fantastic

@Minni6in thank you 

frogs are ready, still got a nice addition on the way before release though 😬

@ YourCreator sure I can do that from now on no problem 😁

Please add new language strings one by one in end of file, cause i need to sort before work (and other translators too)

I updated the config.dll but forgot to put the new patch that it goes with so roly polies, sparrows and toads cannot be disabled until 1.1.3 comes out, if you really need to disable one or all of them put this file in assets/game/patches to remedy it disableentities.json

just scanning over the new things, got sparrows, toads and roly polies coming, making more of the creatures attack or hunt one another, making them actually eat what they kill ( no more free dead bugs laying around sorry 😅)

got sparrows ready and waiting, and roly polies are almost done, gonna rack up a few more before the next update

my tortoise shield has off center texturing.. crap lol, will be fixed next update or sooner we'll see

Tortoises are released, I'm doing sparrows real quick then back on track

Tortoises are coming along great, shouldn't be long now

@ YourCreator thanks for another translation, I'll be releasing the next update soon, the new thing you wont have will be tortoise stuff

@ iotid thank you, I could try to come up with an item that gives you the creative menu versions of smaller things like a net or something so it's like you've caught it and can just release the animal where you want by placing it, poison dart frogs will be coming soon enough

@ Broken thanks, the squirrels can be a bit derpy, chase one into a cave and you'll see lol I'll jot those ideas down on my maybe list

Just ran across the Squirrels that you added in. Brilliant. I really like the detail you have with them as well as all the other critters. Keep up the good work. was thinking, maybe make something where you could repel or trap the crickets/grasshoppers? Maybe carrion beetles to help the decay rate of animal corpses (if you want to kill to get the annoying or aggressive critter away but dont want to skin). That would help clean up random corpses done by mob hunting or them hunting a little faster, since they would advance decomp. Maybe something to enhance the gardening experience? 

Absolutely loving this so far.  Also second the suggestion for a few more birds for livening up trees and forests.  Spotting hummingbirds and the new snails/shellfish around just makes me happy.  I'd love to be able to pick up small creatures without killing them somehow, for relocation and collection.  While some could theoretically be added to Gerste's cages config, support built into this mod for live capture - like a net? - would be fun.  Aquariums, terrariums, and bird cages would be wonderful for display and decoration, or making room dividers to show things off.  I've already been thinking about designing enclosed water spaces in glass for making makeshift aquariums in hopes of getting snails to spawn in there.  (Or even just being able to catch crickets and grasshoppers live to throw them into the chicken pen to pretend like it's enrichment would be amusing!)

Fish that spawn in with deep enough water/enough surrounding water blocks would be another lovely thing to see, though the dragonflies, shells and crawfish already are doing a great job of livening up ponds and lakes.  Teeny frogs for lily pads, toads and quail for fields, and tree frogs for jungles as well, maybe?

what about nightingales and cuckoos, woodpeckers and doves? Prescribe behavior so that they occupy high places and make sounds from there. Later you can close up the nests
Also squirrels take and flees to near  high places or trees.

current work is amazing!

Ru translate 1.1.0
 

waiting for spiders and - QUACK QUACK - ducks. 
will be gooses?
GIANT ENEMY SPIDERS AND CRABS

@ Verlia thanks, I hope they bring more life to your game 😄

Eeeee these are so cute! <3 I love so much! 

just scanning over what I've created today and I'll release 1.1.0, squirrels are ready to go 😁 next up is turtles, tortoises, bats, moths and armadillidiidae (roly polies, pill bugs, potato bugs)

@ Sindanarmo thanks, crawfish spawn in temperate climates but do let me know if you can't find any later, I might need to tweak that

Love your mod, use it with lichen's, wildcraft and horses and it all combined makes game so full of life, it's brilliant 👍 Only animal I didn't see so far is a crawfish, but hope so this will change eventualy :P

I've made a config to disable each creature when version 1.1.0 comes, right now it just holds crickets and grasshoppers for people who don't wanna be bothered by chirping.  I guess I could add em all on there so servers have more control over them.

@ Broken that's perfect, thanks for the next animal idea 😁

I would recommend Squirrels if possible. It would actually tie in with Primitive Survival by SpearAndFang. They have tree hollows that will have seeds and stuff in it (sometimes snakes). So adding a squirrel would be nice.

doing some form of mammal next, mod needs one, not sure what to do yet though, oh and I guess I'll get crackin on that config so I can add the creepier bugs, spiders n such

also in the next update, "mealable" crickets, grasshoppers, seasnails and snails

@ PopesofHazard you're welcome 😃

Minni6in Thank you! slugs were what i wanted more anyway, so hats off! this has become one of my favourite mods!

next up is water snails, hermit crabs (maybe, maybe not) and slugs

@ 1618 thank you it's always nice to hear your hard work is paying off 😊

This is coming along splendidly.

For similar ideas and inspiration, check out "CoB Server Exclusives." They have some fantastic animals. I use it along side this one.

woops forgot something, will fix and update now, I had forgot to add the recipe to acquire the crawfish meat, knife in the grid with dead crawfish, added and uploaded, sorry 😓

@ PopesofHazard I wasn't gonna do snails as Verlia has told she has made a mod with snails and toads, but I could do slugs sure

@ Mamessu I'll look into making a config for disabling each creature, might take me a bit as I have no clue how to make a config yet. I have no idea how this mod and that other one behave together, if you find out and there's an issue post it here please and I'll see what I can do

Is there a config we can use to turn various options on/off? As an arachniphobe I'd like to limit spiders if they are added. Additionally, how does this interact with the branch cutters from the Nessicaries mod, which allows you to break glow-worm blocks and place them elsewhere?

I'd love to be able to turn the glow-worm portion of your mod off, as well, if the two mods are incompatible.

Thanks for your hard work!

I could do spiders sure

mby add spiders with moves like cricket's and spawn web?

would slugs and snails be a possibility? absolutely loving the mod so far and eagerly await each new edition(the crawfish are looking awesome!) 😅

thank you, hummingbirds are amazing creatures that seem to be somewhat misunderstood lol; I lived in northeast kansas most of the time I lived in the state and while it got extremely hot in summer and extremely cold in winter, I personally would not consider it subtropical :P 

Kansas native and I can confirm that we have hummingbirds.  The portion of Kansas I live in is considered humid subtropical.  But, I've also lived in the portion of Kansas that is a humid continental climate. Though the majority of the 300+ species of hummingbirds are usually found in the tropics, you can find them anywhere in North and South America, including Alaska.

@Lisabet I set them to be in temperate climates

actually hummingbirds aren't only tropical; I had hummingbird feeders both in washington state and kansas state in the past and got hummingbirds all the time (well not winter, but they did stick around from mid spring to mid fall) both places; now I live in hawaii which is much closer to tropical and I haven't seen any lol

she's kinda hard to see, but this is one of my washington hummingbirds

@ YourCreator k added and updated 😁, thanks again

New russian translate for 1.0.7

I'll update the mod page with the new 1.0.7 pics and info tomorrow

next up is crawfish 😁

@ YourCreator, they'll be some stuff missing from your translation in 1.0.7 but if you want to do another one up with the new stuff I'll push a quick hotfix for it

russian translate.json

just polishing up and making sure I didn't miss anything and I'll post 1.0.7, will be today for sure 😁

@ 1618  Im doing crawfish after I get this next update out but I'll do sparrows after that sure

Im enjoying the evolution. Wanted to reiterate how much id like to see Birds added, even if not interactable. They are the most common animals in real life, and enjoyable to have around. Things like eagles, sparrows, robins, etc... just flying above the trees, and ducks swimming in ponds.

@ CaveSalamander I live where winter lasts 6 months a year and we have hummingbirds in the summer

Could there be a config to disable each critter individually? I run with dragonflies already in and I'd love to add grasshoppers too, but I don't feel like hummingbirds fit into non-tropical environments.

up next, kiwi birds you can feed for eggs but they don't use hen boxes so you can't breed them, insect wall crawling and cooked versions of insects. Inch worm put on shelf til I'm better at animating cause I want them to be perfect

@ YourCreator no harm no foul 😄

I'm not judging, I'm just suggesting. I understand that at the beginning of the work. Looks great at this stage.

mod page under construction, dont judge it yet 😅

@ YourCreator ya the grasshoppers need a bit of tweaking, they work and look alright for where they're at so I released what I had, they'll be fixed as I go on no worries. I'll look into making the OGG files quieter if it's possible sure. I can for sure try to add a wall climbing ability to both crickets and grasshoppers

Please turn down the sounds until Tyron adds a separate slider for creatures. Some players complain about loud noises

Grasshoppers make pause before next jump and jumps longer and higher, pls fix. Sounds are nice!
Add cicadas pls)

Pls add crickets walking on walls

@ YourCreator thanks 😊

@ Rayle thanks 😊 I aim to please 😬

Man, you're awesome! Not only do your little creatures add more life to the world, but you listen to fan suggestions and implement them 😁

Nice crickets, 5 stars

coming next update... chickens ( and roosters/chicks) will chase crickets when they see one, I'll tag other reasonable bugs to this as they are created. I've already got this completed and in the mod but I wanna add grasshoppers before release

@Verlia oh okay I can still make frogs then 😁

Hey there can always be more variety! I've only added a little toad, there are many types of froggies and toads! I'm quite excited to see little eratic chickens, lol. 😂

@Verlia that sounds awesome, I need to make chickens go after them at some point. I was going to make frogs and toads but if you've done that then I won't 😃

Quite excited seeing all the little critters! I've toads and snails in my mod, I'll be making my toad compatiable to eating the little critters in this one so it'll be quite natural! 

the glowworm pie texture was messed up, fixed now just re-download 1.0.4 and you're good to go, sorry to the 6 peeps that dl'd it 😓

next up is crickets and grasshoppers

mod will be renamed to Creatures & Critters soon, not sure when though

@Verlia 😆

My gosh this so cute!

Glowworm pie, hmm, suspicious but.. must have a nibble..! 😄

pls add grasshoppers

add swamp sounds from morrowind 

get the new one, I made a typo in the lang file and it does weird stuff to the game, fixed now

I'll add more variety as time goes on, gonna see if I can add some sound to them if it's not too annoying lol ( and an option to silence them too )
