Mo'Creatures Mod Wiki

Mo' Creatures is a seminal mod that transforms the Minecraft world by adding a vast array of realistic, mythological, and monstrous creatures. Each mob features unique AI, animations, and interaction mechanics. Players can tame many of these creatures to serve as mounts, pets, or guardians. The mod also introduces new items, armor sets, and a custom dimension to house its most powerful inhabitants.

Key features include a sophisticated horse breeding system, the ability to ride elephants and wyverns, and the threat of block-destroying Ogres and silver-vulnerable Werewolves.

Taming is a core mechanic in Mo' Creatures. Most animals require a specific food item to be fed to them, followed by the application of a Medallion to name and claim them.

Horses

The horse system in Mo' Creatures is distinct from vanilla Minecraft, featuring multiple tiers and special magical variants.

Big Cats

Includes Lions, Tigers, Panthers, Leopards, and Cheetahs.

• Taming: Feed a cub raw fish. Once it grows, use a Medallion.
• Behavior: Adults are aggressive unless tamed. Tamed cats can be healed with raw porkchops.

Elephants and Mammoths

Large, powerful mounts that can carry chests or multiple passengers.

• Taming: Feed a calf a Cake or five Sugar Lumps.
• Equipment: Can be equipped with Harnesses, Garments, and Chests for storage.

Wyverns

Found exclusively in the Wyvern Lair dimension.

• Taming: Obtain a Wyvern Egg by killing a wild Wyvern. Place the egg near a heat source (torch/fire) and wait for it to hatch. Use a Medallion on the hatchling.
• Utility: High-speed flying mounts with high health.

These creatures spawn primarily at night or in dark areas and pose a significant threat to players.

Ogres

Ogres are massive humanoids capable of destroying blocks with their attacks.

• Green Ogre: Standard variant, destroys wood and dirt.
• Fire Ogre: Sets blocks on fire and is immune to fire damage.
• Cave Ogre: Found underground; extremely durable and destroys stone blocks.
• Drops: Obsidian, Fireballs (Fire Ogre), Diamonds (Cave Ogre).

Werewolves

Werewolves appear as humans during the day but transform at night.

• Weakness: They are nearly invulnerable to standard weapons. Players must use Gold or Silver weapons to deal significant damage.
• Drops: Golden Apples, Iron tools.

Wraiths and Flame Wraiths

Ghostly entities that fly through walls.

• Wraith: Standard variant, drops Gunpowder.
• Flame Wraith: Sets the player on fire, drops Redstone and Fireballs.

Golems

Large entities made of blocks that assemble themselves when a player approaches.

• Behavior: They can pick up and throw blocks at the player.
• Drops: The blocks they are composed of (Iron, Stone, etc.).

These mobs add life to the environment and provide various resources.

• Birds: Small, colorful mobs (Woodpeckers, Blue Jays, Cardinals). They can be tamed by dropping seeds near them.
• Bunnies: Can be picked up and placed on the player's head. Tamed by feeding them carrots.
• Deer: Skittish animals that flee from players. Drop venison and fur.
• Dolphins: Can be tamed with raw fish and ridden in water. Different colors represent different speed tiers.
• Goats: Will eat items dropped on the ground. Can be milked or sheared.
• Turkeys: Found in forest biomes. Drop raw turkey and feathers.
• Turtles: Can be tamed by feeding them sugar cane or watermelon. They can be picked up and carried.

Essential Tools

• Medallion: Used to name and claim tamed pets. Crafted with a Gold Ingot and a Leather.
• Whip: Used to command mounts to sit, stay, or follow.
• Pet Food: Crafted with Raw Porkchop and Sugar. Used to heal and grow tamed animals.
• Wyvern Portal Staff: Used to create a portal to the Wyvern Lair. Crafted with an Essence of Light and a Diamond.

Armor Sets

Essences

Essences are rare drops used for high-tier crafting and horse evolution.

• Essence of Light: Dropped by Pegasus or crafted. Used for Unicorns.
• Essence of Darkness: Dropped by Shadow Werewolves. Used for Bat-Horses.
• Essence of Fire: Dropped by Fire Ogres. Used for Nightmares.
• Essence of Undead: Dropped by Undead Horses. Used to create Zombie/Skeleton mounts.

The Wyvern Lair is a unique dimension consisting of floating islands in a void-like sky. It is the only place where wild Wyverns spawn.

• Access: To enter, the player must use a Wyvern Portal Staff. This will spawn a portal that transports the player to the dimension.
• Environment: The islands are rich in ores but dangerous due to the high density of Wyverns and the risk of falling into the void.
• Snake Rocks: Special structures found here that contain Snake Eggs.

Breeding Animals

To breed most Mo' Creatures (like Horses or Big Cats), follow these steps:

1. Ensure both animals are tamed and at full health.
2. Place them in a confined area (roughly 8x8 blocks).
3. Feed both animals a Pumpkin or Mushroom Stew (for horses) or Raw Fish (for cats).
4. Stay away from the area for a few minutes to allow the process to complete.

Custom Spawner (CMS)

Mo' Creatures utilizes a Custom Mob Spawner system. This allows players to configure the spawn rates of every mob in the mod via the config files. You can adjust frequency, group size, and which biomes specific creatures appear in.

Pet Management

• Naming: Right-click a tamed pet with a Medallion to change its name.
• Storage: Use a Pet Amulet (Fairy, Ghost, or Sky) to store your pet in your inventory, allowing for easy transport across long distances or dimensions.

While many recipes follow standard Minecraft logic, several key items are unique:

• Saddle (Mo'C): 3 Leather, 2 Iron Ingots (different from vanilla saddle).
• Horse Armor: Crafted using 5 Ingots (Iron, Gold, or Diamond) in a 'U' shape.
• Shark Sword: 1 Shark Tooth, 1 Stick. Deals high damage and has high durability.
• Scorpion Sting: Obtained by killing Scorpions; used to craft poison-tipped weapons.
• Big Cat Claw: Used to craft the Claw Gauntlet, a fast-attacking melee weapon.
