Overview#
The ChocoCraft mod enriches the game world by adding Chocobos, which are large, rideable bird-like creatures. These creatures, inspired by the Final Fantasy series, can be tamed, bred, ridden, and even flown. The mod introduces a variety of Chocobo types, each with unique attributes, as well as several new items essential for their care, breeding, and utility.
Players can encounter Chocobos in the wild, tame them using specific items, and then utilize them for transportation, exploration, and even combat. The mod also features a comprehensive in-game guide, the Chocopedia, to assist players in managing their Chocobo companions.
Mobs#
Chocobo
Chocobos are the primary creatures added by the ChocoCraft mod. They are large, rideable birds that can be found in various colors, each possessing distinct stats and abilities. Chocobos can be tamed, bred, and ridden, offering players a unique form of transportation and companionship.
Appearance: Chocobos come in a spectrum of colors, including Yellow, Green, Blue, White, Black, Gold, Pink, Red, and Purple.
Spawning: Wild Chocobos can be found naturally in the world.
Behavior: Wild Chocobos can be tamed by feeding them Gysahl Greens. Once tamed, they can be ridden after being equipped with a Chocobo Saddle. Tamed Chocobos will occasionally drop Chocobo Feathers.
Taming: To tame a wild Chocobo, feed it Gysahl Greens.
Breeding: Tamed male and female Chocobos can be bred by using a Loverly Gysahl on them. This will cause them to lay an egg, which must be placed in a nest to hatch a Chicobo. Chicobos are the juvenile form of Chocobos and will eventually grow into adult Chocobos. Chicobos are born wild and must be tamed. Offspring can inherit attributes and stats from their parents and may mutate into new colors. Using a Golden Gysahl during breeding increases the chances of acquiring new Chocobo types. Dyes can also be used on certain Chocobos to change their color.
Leveling and Abilities: Tamed Chocobos gain experience points as the player does. After accumulating enough experience, a Chocobo can level up and acquire new abilities. Abilities have a slight chance (2%) to be inherited per breed, but players can also use the Chocopedia to convert their own experience into Chocobo abilities.
Known Abilities:
- Flight: Allows the Chocobo to fly. Activated by pressing Shift+Spacebar. Flying Chocobos are immune to fall damage.
- Water Walk: Allows the Chocobo to walk across water.
- Fast Terrain: Increases movement speed over various terrains.
- Lava Immunity: Makes the Chocobo resistant to fire and able to walk on lava.
Chocobo Types and Attributes:
| Color | Speed | Climb (blocks) | Walk | Special Abilities | Breeding Combination | Health |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yellow | Normal | 1 | Overworld | 30 | ||
| Green | Normal | 2 | Yellow + Yellow | 30 | ||
| Blue | Normal | 1 | Water | Water Breathing | Yellow + Yellow | 30 |
| White | Fast | 2 | Water | Jumping (4 blocks high) | Green + Blue | 40 |
| Black | Fast | 2 | Water | Jumping, Night Vision | Yellow + White | 40 |
| Gold | Fastest | 2 | Water | Flight | Blue + White | 50 |
| Pink | Fastest | 2 | Water | Flight | Green + Pink Gysahl | 50 |
| Red | Fastest | 2 | Water | Flight | Green + Red Gysahl | 50 |
| Purple | Fast | 2 | Lava | Flight, Lava Resistance | Pink + Yellow |
Note: 'Climb' indicates the number of blocks a Chocobo can ascend without jumping. 'Walk' indicates the liquid or terrain type the Chocobo can traverse. Jumping Chocobos can reach ledges up to 4 blocks high. Flying Chocobos are immune to fall damage. Lava-walking Chocobos are resistant to fire.
Chicobo
Chicobos are the juvenile form of Chocobos. They hatch from eggs laid by breeding adult Chocobos. Chicobos are born wild and must be tamed before they can be ridden or leveled. They will eventually grow into full-sized Chocobos.
Items#
The ChocoCraft mod introduces several new items crucial for interacting with Chocobos and managing their care.
-
Gysahl Greens
The most fundamental item in ChocoCraft. Gysahl Greens are used to tame wild Chocobos and are a key ingredient in crafting other specialized greens. They grow randomly across the map and can be harvested and replanted. Feeding Gysahl Greens to a tamed Chocobo restores 10 health.

Mechanics#
Taming
Wild Chocobos can be tamed by feeding them Gysahl Greens. Once tamed, they become loyal companions and can be ridden.
Riding
To ride a tamed Chocobo, it must first be equipped with a Chocobo Saddle. Once saddled, players can mount their Chocobo for faster travel and exploration.
Breeding
Breeding in ChocoCraft allows players to expand their Chocobo flock and potentially acquire new Chocobo types with enhanced abilities. To breed, use a Loverly Gysahl on two tamed Chocobos (one male, one female). They will then lay an egg, which needs to be placed in a nest to hatch a Chicobo. Chicobos inherit attributes and stats from their parents and can mutate into new colors. Using a Golden Gysahl during breeding increases the chances of obtaining new Chocobo types.
Leveling and Abilities
As a player gains experience, their tamed Chocobo also accumulates experience points. Upon reaching certain experience thresholds, Chocobos can level up and unlock new abilities such as Flight, Water Walk, Fast Terrain, and Lava Immunity. While abilities can be inherited during breeding with a small chance, players can also use the Chocopedia to convert their own experience into specific Chocobo abilities.
Storage
Chocobos can be equipped with Chocobo Saddle Bags or Chocobo Pack Bags to provide them with inventory space for transporting items. These bags can be accessed by shift-right-clicking the saddled Chocobo.
Bugs#
A known bug in the mod can occur if two Chocobos are left to breed and the chunk they are in is unloaded (e.g., by moving away from the area). This can result in the area being flooded with a massive number of Chocobos.
