The Critter's Pack: 1.1.7 & 1.1.2-RC.1 for 1.20.7-12

Hi, just letting you know that, apparently, the owl can phase through blocks. I found one flying around underground in solid rock..

Hello! Heads up my server log flagged the following path error in thecritterpack:patches/game-patch-entity.json.

⌄⌄⌄ !!! egggssss

Need Expanded Food Patch, please! Would be so cool to have all the Eggs from Ducks for example work with the Expanded Food Network.

Chiappo I found an interesting bug when the critters pack is installed. The agricultural Trader will have 'empty' slots randomly anytime this mod is installed

Please my lord, let me tame the owl and my life is yours.

hay alguna forma de bajar el spawn de los cuervos tengo como 30 en casa y ya me molesta que esten por todas las habitaciones de mi base 

Mallard Ducks produce player eating sounds when they eat berries. Sounds really weird.

So I have some mallard ducks, and have troughs, they ate, and laid 3 eggs in the duckbox I made for them.

Except now they're just sitting there. The infobox says there's 3 fertile eggs, and will take 4 days to incubate. It's been like that for about a week in game. 

My guess it has to do with the fact that the room the duckbox is in technically isn't a room, as all the walls were chiseled. 

More ideas/requests ...
1. Seagulls
2. Pelicans
3. Puffins
4. Albatrosses
5. Cormrants
6. Terns
7. Sandpipers

Thanks!

Crash when try to see crafting with mallard duck egg with "Long-term food" installed.

Sure, the mod don't have an oficial update to 1.21.5 but i'm saying either way

The mallard duck eggs do not work with culinary artillery, as they do not share the same egg cracking behavior. As a result, you cannot cook any recipe that uses the new egg liquid types. So raising chickens would be still be the only option for getting usable eggs, that aren't used for scrambled eggs. Could you please fix this behavior so that I and others can used mallard eggs with culinary artillery?

Also just checked, when picking the eggs from the duck nest, you do not receive xskills xp for the husbandry skill.

Lots of issues with the genders of the Pekin ducks. Like @DigiDragoon said, they seem to be displaying the wrong gender. When I move them with a reed trap they all appear to turn female. Having a hard time telling which ones are actually male.

Is anyone else having trouble with Peking and Call ducks not showing their gender? They all display as female once Adults. I've also had young adults tagged as male that grow up and suddenly be egg-layers (I have been specificly trying to sort the juvinile ducks to test this). Not having this trouble with other critters.

So, to expand on what Echoweaver said, egg extra in meatystew is also missed. To have it equal to chicken egg, it should be something like

Heya. The eggs from ducks seem to have an issue generating a texture in pots and bowls. This is 2x duck eggs with 1 each of turnip and parnsip. Already checked with vanilla devs.

ur mod breaks nadiya villager traders so look into it please also idk why you even touch traders at the first place...

Any plans to add yak fleece as an alternative way to make rope and cloth? Historically their wool was used to make everything from tents to textiles.

can you buff the animal drops? most animals give LESS meat than vanilla ones please

I have a question, would it be possible to add a Landing and sitting animation to the flying versions of the birds ?? I use the Bola mod, and when we hit the flying animals, they get frozen and use the sleeping animation, but the flying animals just float mid-air frozen. If they had a landing animation, we probably could use that!

Hello!! Just had a quick question:

So when I open the game in creative, I can see all the animals added into the game and can spawn them in! However after 6 days in a standard world, I've yet to see anything. :c

I'm not sure if there something i may be missing, or if I've just been incredibley unlucky haha

I'm in you're standard open plains biom with a few forests nearby, and just havent seen anything outside of a wolf or two :c

Hey there. I noticed that the eggs are invisible when I use your duck eggs to make scrambled eggs. I've spent way too long staring at cooking recipes, so I took a look.

For the scrambled eggs recipe, you don't want the eggs to use "shapeElement: bowl/egg/*". That a boiled egg as it appears in a stew or soup. There are shapes for egg as the meal base. Use egg1. Thus:

{ file: "game:recipes/cooking/scrambledeggs.json", op: "add", path: "/ingredients/0/validStacks/-", value: { type: "item", code: "thecritterpack:egg-pekin-raw", shapeElement: "bowl/egg1/*", textureMapping: ["scrambledegg", "group7"] }, side: "server" }

and so on. Also, scrambled eggs also has egg-extra and egg-extra2, which use shapeElement bowl/egg2 and egg3 respectively. If you add duck eggs to those two options, it would be possible to make mega scrambled eggs with duck eggs in all four slots. o.O

Is there a way to disable breeding for some animals, or to add it if not?
A group on my server had chipmunks get into one of their animal pens and the result was so....SO many chipmunks

I like the mod, I have a bunch of ducks already and am searching for yaks now.

Please please please could the other critters be made tameable? I was very sad when I managed to trap a hedgehog pair and they just despawned when I left the area :( they don't need drops or anything I just wanted some pet hedgehogs and isopods

What do ducklings eat specifically? One fell down a pit trap, and I'm trying to catch it to move it into the enclosure with the ducks I'm domesticating. Cranberries don't seem to work, even though the adults love them.

ETA: Oh, grain worked fine. I guess berries don't work because you can't put them in troughs.

Vallen

Ive tested it as much as possible... but i guess you're right the sheep is harder to find for some odd reason (could be something my animals causing something?)

to say im very unsure if its the because of this.. could even be game related issue..

though ever since deers got added i had harder time finding sheeps..

Vinter_Nacht

Yes some animals do see or go towards stuff like fallen berries or berry bushes

And yeah would be great if you could figure out the issues.. 

Chiappo - Are your animals equipped to respond to POIs (Like raccoons with beehives and berry bushes, for instance)?  I'm interested in seeing what can be done with the tree hollows in my mod Under Tangled Boughs and making squirrels respond to them as POI.

Vallen - I wouldn't call me an authority on this, but I've been looking into the animal spawn rates.  I don't believe there's a larger "mob cap" in the sense that MC has one. The spawning system seems to be a lot more liberal in general.  I'll look into this a bit more and see what I can suss up as it's relevant to my modding interests.

I don't suppose you've tested the effect these have had on the vanilla animal spawn rates? We've been having an issue locating sheep and I am wondering if the spawn rates of the other animals are preventing them from spawning.

Aye I see now, I was more of asking as a request if they could be made breedable? 

They were difficult to obtain and didn't relize before-hand that they couldn't be bred..

gg

I saw a helix snail, yay!

God I pray someone makes a mod or something so we can keep snails, I love my lil guy
is there maybe a way to make him not perishable so I can keep him with me forever?

Any posibility you could add in support for foodshelves so that your eggs can fit onto their egg-shelves? They have a guide on how to add support on your end on their mod page at the bottom in a spoiler: https://news.kalataka.ru/foodshelves

Verlia it says on the mod page that the black swans don't multiply

Can i make hedgehog stew?

Heya! Question about the black swans, do they use the duck nest to lay eggs? I've got a pair well fed but they haven't bred/laid any eggs.

I just wanted to say that this mod adds so much personality to the landscape. Thanks so much.

animatiV

Adding that soon again thanks for the translation

And the missing creative menu were a oversight whoopsie

Evermancer

Im trying to fix that issue with removing some extra spawn conditions in the next version

Aaaah, thank you for the NotASnack option! You've made my day 😁

Wanna start off by saying I love the mod. I've had a snail in my base for about 30 hours and they're my best friend. :)

Is there maybe something that can be done about Crows tho? I have a hillside that has about 200 cros covering it, and I've had to dig a trench around my small beehive meadow as all the crows in the area spawn and path to it and I need to clear entity to remove them about every 4 hours. Last crow pile was over 400 in a 8x8 radius. It's also trivialised winter a bit because I have infinite access to poultry. Is there any tweak that can be made to make them still feel consistent but not like I'm starring in a "The Birds" spin-off?

Chiappo

pl.json (upd. for v1.3.3)

I've added PL translations for the new strings related to the Black Swans.

Moreover, there is an issue with them in the game – the textures and models are distorted (In ui).

Spoiler!

Litesalt, probably a bug since i've been mostly eating duck scrambled egg for the last 5 hours of gameplay. I play on 1.21 and have the latest version of this mod, dont have any expanded food mods yet since from what i know they're outdated.

Thank you for adding the Black Swan! I sent crab the biomes update. They spawn in Australasian and Oceania regions. will be great for aussie playthroughs! 

I can't seem to use the duck eggs in any food items (vanilla or expanded foods), is that intentional or am I experiencing a bug? 1.20.12, 1.1.2 rc2

I think they're neat just wish I could eat the eggs 😅

Hi, I have the critters pack 1.3.1 on our 1.21.1 server and have also not seen any butterflies. Everything I've seen flying in the air has been a robin.

Suggestion - with the addition of the swans, may I suggest a third, black swan that spawns in Hot/River environments. Thanks for your mod I really enjoy the little bits of life it adds to the game. For some reason, the snails are my favourites. I love seeing them crawl around.

it would be cool if we could pick up the isopods too! wish there was some way to use the glass display case as a lil snail/isopod terrarium 

@Chiappo I have some mallard ducks that im trying to feed. Their diets say berries, but when I put Dry Berry Mash into the trough, they wont eat it, the tool tip says chickens but not ducks like it does if I put vegtables it. From what I can tell, they will eat it when I throw it on the ground though.

Chiappo I'm using 1-3-2, the latest release. 

Thranos

What mod version are you using?

it should been fixed on newest version of mod (and a few below)

Rensome

will look into that at some point

Delirya

will have to check if i can somehow disable that

No big promises but will look into it

Keep crashing to desktop with an error reading

System.Exception: Don't know how to instantiate entity of type 'EntitySnailPickup' did you forget to register a mapping?

Hello, thank you for your work, can you add compatibility with Foodshelves mod? I would like to put duck eggs in the egg basket from that mod. Thanks.

Is there a way to make it so that the cute lil critters don't get eaten? I couldn't find the "fren, not snack" option in the .json files. The local wolf pack has been enjoying the hedgohog and squirrel buffet, and there's lil bodies everywhere 😭 

TheDude

Any bird that spawns runtime shouldnt cause butterflies to loose their spawnrate and shouldnt be replaced 👍

if anything it might be biomes or game thinking something else.. but to my knowledge birds are not a butterfly in mechanic setup anymore

Its only the very extreme old version of this mod that used butterflies as birds (made crows stuck everywhere even in roofs)

hope that helps 😅

I understand, thank you in advance. I have another question: can birds reduce butterfly spawn? Or do some birds take the place of some butterflies? Because I have the impression that when there is your mod on a server there are fewer butterflies and especially diversity, I noticed that trying to collect and it's very long because there is 160 😅

AceHyena

they will eat berries tho not fruitmash - try drop em on ground like real life they will eat the berries if i recall

otherwise you can always put grain in the trough

TheDude

I might need to see if i can get in touch with biomes mod owner or something cause its abit sad to not find all animals :L

if they don't update it soon i might need to fix the file on this to solve the missing animals

Question! I have some Pekin ducks, and on the table it says they eat berries, however when I try to add berries to a trough it doesn't work, and berry mash doesn't list them under suitable fodder. Am I missing something basic?

Also, thank you so much for the mod! One day I will find a way to trap an isopod as a pet, make him a little glass cage.

I understand the problem better so thank you for the information and your devotion, if not I can see with the modder of the mod biomes to solve the problem ?

TheDude

I checked the biomes mod

it appears that they made a typo on all yak spawning

also appears to it were last updated 31th August

will try look into the files that and adjust it - to help along

But currently it appears they're unable to spawn with that 1.21.0 version of biomes

Hi, thanks for the stats panel but I'm on a server with the biome mod and I can't find any yak, could you tell me where to add the breeding stats to the panel please ?

Peridot

Great hearing that its possible to milk the yaks

animatiV

Nice work thank you

Will add it soon 

EDIT: Added the translation

I've updated the Polish translation:

I've translated all the new lines and removed the unnecessary ones according to the latest updates.

I don't have yaks in my survival run yet but I loaded into a creative world and milking for the yak worked fine for me as per the latest update.

Having a problem where the ducks I have captured aren't nesting/incubating the eggs. I have put more grain into the small trough multiple times and left them alone for 4 days and the "broody hen" is still needed. Granted they are in a dirt hut about 25-30 blocks away from my main little hut, I don't think that should be disturbing them when I'm my daily walk arounds.

Chiappo We just finished testing and they are still having the issue.

love this mod. thanks for making and updating it!

LKCRahl

Have you tried to look on client settings for game itself?

theres two settings that allow for more textures for game to handle (sometimes required if alot of stuff and mods)

they're normally at something like 4096x2048,

Heres a example

"maxTextureAtlasWidth": 8192, "maxTextureAtlasHeight": 8192,

i saw a few times the issue as a report on forums try see if this fixes it

So I have a weird issue for one of my players in a server where all the animals from this mod pack specifically are showing up as white textures with red eyes. The steps we have tried to resolve:

• Manually install the mod onto client machine
• Replace mod on server and client
• Test in Single-Player
• Modify graphics settings, update graphics driver

We have been unable to resolve it for this one client specifically, no other user has the issue but I have confirmed in screen share they are receiving some form of Missing Textures visuals which is localised entirely to their machine.

z1ggy

They most-likely spawn further away from already explored areas

sometimes they do spawn day to day or rarely basis

id recommend use a translocator to somewhere and find the specfic animal there with a reed basket or reinforced crate you can catch some of em with their desired food

Though id just play with mod on and then at some point they spawn..

reason they don't spawn alot is mainly cause to avoid overflooding game and cause lag

hope that is helpful enough

I added this mod to my server about half an in game year in. We just started the new year and haven't seen a single animal from the mod. They wont spawn, but if I go into creative and place one in the world it acts completely normal, so I know the mod is working. Any idea how to get them to spawn on the server? 

Chiappo THANK YOU for adding some ability to move swans. The limitations to cygnets guarded by bold parents I think is very fair, and it enables me to make my elegant pondscapes with enough dedication and bird bites

@Chiappo

Will Yak be milkable in the future? They are a species of Cattle, its kind of odd they can't be. I understand if it'd be a headache to implement though.

BUG?  I disabled the owl in the mod configs, but I can see it flying around.  I double checked my configs and they do say "Brownowl": false

DejVIIK

Going to inform this that the crowdin page has nothing to do with this mod - its a seperate mod

Though in the past the text been updated by people

i do got a account in backup but it won't let me grab the stuff from there

But if all is fine with Mod owner if i can use the translations in mod.. i will try add them

IF you done ANY translations it will take time to get added unless other ways to get em

Hope that helps 😅

Hello

Super mod developers should implement it natively into the game.

Please add Czech translation on Crowdin.

@Chiappo

no vwarning on the update download. wonk.

TheDude

Ive added statistic (mostly all. Hope it helps)

Oniii can you elaborate a little bit on what kind of duck? I'm the guy that helped Chiappo build the butchering compatibility.  I just tested with both the newest version of butchering and critterspack and was able to fully butcher a male and female mallard, call, and peking duck without any issues.

Hello, is it possible to add spawn statistics (temperature, precipitation, forest density, altitude ...) in the table because I can't find swans or Yaks ? thank you in advance.

TheRealFlynn

That is strange - it contains none of that... its likely a false info no idea why it pops up

I will try download it from site checking if it could be something EDIT: no warning here

Droseran

Yeah i noticed that error on newer versions 1.2.7

I might need to fix everything as soon i can EDIT: ive fixed all that now

Oniii

Strange i might need check on that.. mainly cause i got help with it

Joenemba

Sorry they cannot be milked

BruceTheRonin

I dont have any plans to upgrade/make yak like a tamed elk with stuff on it - that would require me too much work just to do sorry

Can Yaks be milked?

Chiappo There's a few typos in the squirrel files that are causing loading failures (version 1.7.1):

In squirrel-female on line 262 there's a double comma; this also occurs in squirrel-male on lines 239 and 261.

In squirrel-male on line 262 fresh-scarecrow-entity is a duplicate of the previous line.

Chiappo Thank you so much for your response! Neat that it was just a English translation thing. Thank you again for all your help!

been using this mod forever. now getting a virus warning when trying to download it.

wacatac.c!ml

tried butchering a duck, couldnt place it on the butchering table nor the ground.

Are you able to milk the Yaks to make them a better alternative to the goats in game?

Any plans to make yak's ridable and to have placable decorations on them?

Shava

Aww.. That just brings me into tears hearing that

Im sorry to hear what you been through

If my mod helps bringing your day to extra joy/and fun

then im really greatful for your words

Thank you ❤️

I always start a new save when I change a bunch of mods, just in case y'know?  So I now have a seed I have fallen in love with called "Swan Lake."  Thank you for adding a little extra joy to my life!

I am elderly and a stroke survivor, and usually housebound, so (highly modded) VS and other games are my "touching grass," paradoxically enough.

Calys_Thorne

Currently no way to capture em - i could consider adding the ability maybe for cygnets (young variant) as a capturable one with reed basket

But it would mean youll have to get close or around other swans - once that feature is there

EDIT: big news the next version 1.2.8 you can catch cygnets swans (with baskets OR the reinforced trap crate) depending on their age <3

 there a way to capture the swans? For example, the ducks can be caught in a reed basket, I cant figure out how to nab the swans for my aesthetic pond

Nihilo24

It would be great to know what translation your using & game version / mod version

It shouldnt normally conflict with anything at all

It may be outdated lang files i got - which has not been updated for a while

EDIT: oh whoops removed the EN translation for mallard ducks Sorry for that fixing it now

Hi! This might be entirely my fault/a conflict with another mod, so don't worry too hard about this, but some of the creatures in the game such as the ducks are named their entire string of code, is there a way I can fix that?

I look forward to seeing more animals added. This is just the kind of atmosphere I love!

We have mice, can you add rats and make them tameable?

Thanks for the quick reply and happy to help! I'm currently trying to make a patch so the duck eggs can be used in Expanded Foods and A Culinary Artillery, so I just came across this while looking at the eggs.

yksb

Oops..thank you for telling 

fixing it now

and yeah its me on discord

Hi, been using the mod and was breeding mallards until I noticed it laid a pekin duck egg. Looked up why in dev mode and found out that mallard eggs and pekin duck eggs have their names switched around as you can see here: https://imgur.com/a/ibPzFuY

Howdy! no worries if you don't intend to, but any chance of getting a 1.20.12 butchery compat patch? either way, love the mod, looking forward to seeing all the lil guys :) 

Scimmia

Yeah okay ill try reduce em as soon as i can :)

Edit: try the new update see if its better

Can you reduce the spawn of crows? (walking ones) The amount is INSANE. I often find 15-20 crows stuck in a pit or a cave, and it's slowing the server! I know there is an option to prevent them from spawning entirely, but I like them; they are just too many.

Chiappo

I have only had it once on the server and no one else has commented on it and i would assume we have quite a few snails around, I am MishkaSnep on discord ignore me hiding offline I am actually around.

MishkaSnep

I thought i had fixed that bug... and sure more testing is better than no testing - will try find you on discord

Sussu

You should be able to catch a few just besure to use the right diet/food i mention ontop to catch em

though the crows are some really smart birds therefore they might break it

the anwser is Yes you can catch with reed baskets

AnniPicto

Glad you enjoy it

will look into the rest sometime later

Thanks for the compatibility. Maybe you can make it even better (but I'm still very happy, really!). In mod "Butchering" chickens (and rabbits) can be put not only in a special bag, but also in any inventory slot. This is done because they are small creatures. In addition, their carcasses can be placed on the ground (they turn into a "block").

Hi! Can you catch "critters" with in game traps? Like basket trap?

Running Critter pack 1.2.3 and just got this, am on the discord if you want any other logs, testing etc

Combat Overhaul?

Chiappo I sent you over the files and some notes

Razgriz

If you could send me a pm on forums that would work

Youll know its me on forum with a hedgehog icon + name identical to this on moddb

Chiappo I do yes, I'm in the VS discord as well

Razgriz

Do you have a forum account or something? 

Anabella

oh thats not good thanks for the report

Don't think I have any other mod with a snail in it.  Had this happen. I have more of the error if you need it.  I was a long one.

System.Exception: Don't know how to instantiate entity of type 'EntitySnailPickup' did you forget to register a mapping?   at Vintagestory.Common.ClassRegistry.CreateEntity(String className) in VintagestoryLib\Common\ClassRegistry.cs:line 396

Chiappo 

Adult grounded ones. 

I can hear the animals but can't see them, they seem to be invisible or something

found some yak far away from my base, I tried the ainimal cages mod with the medium cages to see if i could maybe snag a big yak in that or more likely, a baby with no luck. Currently, is the only way to get these boys back to my base the og method of trenches and fence paths? Ill do what i must but they are easily 1k blocks away

Chiappo I've completed the butchering patch.  I only created patches for swans, squirrels, ducks, yaks, and owls as the other creatures didn't fit thematically.  Only the adult creatures as well, minus the yak as the yak calf is large enough imo.

How do you want me to get you these files?

Razgriz

Id be more than greatful if you would do such

because i don't understand the system it uses at all

ive looked it up a few times and so far not many mods supported from 1.21

i did plan to add it to the core system in the past at some point..

so it would be great if you'd be able to help along

Edit: Thinking of it might should be a patch compatibiity that is enabled when butchering is on

Any plans for adding compatibility for Butchering?  If not are you open to someone developing a compatibility patch for you? (or I'd be down to develop the patch and give it to you to include if you were interested in just including it in the core mod)

Slith

Thanks for the infomation will tune it down abit more

What kind of crow variant you mostly spot? flying OR ground? OR small young crows?

Also next update is going to be done very soon as i say this i got mod config working again for everybody

Using the newest version, yet the crows are back. Not quite as many as before, but still a lot.

1az

currently modconfig broke with the update of 1.21.0 and  it will take alittle time to make working

i could do this - lower their chance to play a sound & lower their food drop cause they dont normally drop that much food

otherwise lemme see if i can do a quick hot fix for the modconfig for just crows

i hope you use the current version not the versions before 1.2.0

because there were insane amounts of crows - + it fixes a old bug too

but will look into it in the long run :D

i want to get rid of crows because they make annoying crow sounds constantly, plus they are really easy for getting poultry meat and feathers. after i got a 20+ chicken farm going. 

i went ahead to turn crows to false in config but they are still spawning in the world. 

any solution or fix is greatly appreciated.

Just throwing it out there for those that are looking for it, this mod doesn't work with the animal cages mod by default. The animal cages mod page has some instructions for adding animals however, so it looks like its possible at least.

Chiappo Ah, biome mods could be the culprit, I'll go check my mods list install dates, see what turns up. Thanks for quick reply and great mod.

Nexusdog

If you use biomes mod that would also affect their spawn

since the mod owner made their own setup for critters pack

otherwise ive got no clue

Have you tried creating a real quick new test world on creative mode but survival world?

thats normally how i run through issues on my end and then disable a few mods after each run

after i check if it was that...

its a good idea always to check newly made worlds with errors even if you're modder or not ☺️

Chiappo Here's a weird thing. In my current world (1.20.12) I get no critters, unless you count foxes and rabbits, I guess. In my previous world, same specs, I had critters. Is there a known issue with mods like Fantasy creatures, or any other mod which adds additional creatures? I can't pin down why this world doesn't spawn critters compared to the previous world (lost due to corrupt data, unrelated), but I've noticed other creature mods similarly afflicted. The culprit I believe is going to be Fantasy creatures mod somehow suppressing other creature mods. 

Thank you fo such a quick response to the crow issue!! I love your mod, I always squee when I see a hedgehog haha

This explains our peculiar chicken coop.

Personally I considered the crows a plus

Bear_Bear  Ryilo Mrozak

Everybody Sorry - i thought i had fixed the overcrowding from crows

WILL try to fix it as quick as possible it wont take long to fix

But again sorry

EDIT: i will fix this issue by renaming all adult crow entities to another type to solve the issue (also will fix the older name of it)

Any other crow will be untouched in terms of naming but spawnrate will be cranked down ALOT

Will mean youll need to see a error for the next times you normally would have encounted a original adult crow - but it disappears and no other error is present Sorry

Edit2: Mrozak - the mod should be light weight & should only add creatures and their function & the code is for snails to be picked up by people and put down

Hi,

Just wanted to add on to the crow issue. I am witnessing literal dozens, probably over 100 in one loaded area at a time, it's insane.

The attached image doesn't really do it justice because this is additional to a hole full of at least 20 and a nearby field with a dozen more.

Love the mod, hope to see an update soon.

Edit: Thanks very much for the quick response, Chiappo. No worries at all, it was a pretty funny bug. Checking the new version now.

Could we please get some more details about the mod?

What can i expect when i addd this mod to the server? - how is it going to affect the number of entitites?
Does it replace any animals, or only adds new ones?
Why is the DLL needed? - does it change any vanilla game mechanics? behaviors? what does it do? (or is the sourcecode anywhere so i can have a look?).
Can the mod be safely removed from the server/clients later, if need be?

Also, i noticed some mentions of lots of birds ending up dead in water.
How bad is it?
I do not recall seeing any dead birds in water so far (not using any creature mods).
Is that a vanilla game issue?
I imagine that if the mod adds a lot of birds, it can greatly increase the chances of that issue happening.
The game is bad enough when small animals, not having swim animations, often end up in water - the last thing i need, is to add dead birds into the water everywhere.

Please add more types of corvids!
1. Raven 
2. Rook
3. Jackdaw
4. Magpie
5. Hooded Crow
6. Jay
7. Bluejay
Thanks! Keep up the great work!

I also am having a ton of crows spawning inside my base, we've built a fort and there are a large amount of crows that just keep spawning even after they've been killed off

So noticed it as well had in a small area like a 4x4 hole over 30ish crows and its in several holes around my base. Its causing quiet a bit of lag

Chiappo

Ehrm... there are too many crows in my base.... using version 1.1.8

There are dozens... i just killed 24 of them, and more are spawning, all in a very small area.

Before 1.1.6 I only had a handful of ducks nearby.

Also, is it possible they are spawning more and more in my flower field where the beehives are?

Willownezz

Glad you found one 😀

ANd yeah they can take abit of time to find.. they tend to spawn near you as time progresses

But flying Variants may disappear after a while.. luckliy they're just a way to show if theres crows in the area

Yey found one =D [not seen a crow flying yet tho]  They fly 🤩

No more errors in 1.1.8

Here is a list of my spawns while flying around, no crows for me, but I could have been unlucky lol

https://mclo.gs/sy9ZY2q

well that was quick lol, awesome! will test it right away

Willownezz

Much thanks for sending error report - glad no crashes

fixing it asap + crows again... 3rd time is the charm?

I got some errors while loading my save on 1.1.7 - No crash

Thanks for the hotfix! Much appreciated!

ComradeTum

Oh thats a small error from updating to 1.21.0 - ill see if i can do a hotfix on that EDIT: That issue has now been fixed

GhostPower

Hey, no it don't really work with butchering mod as i don't know how it works

Ensorcelled

fixing it as soon as i can get it done - its partly a  missing word or two - fixed already in next version hopfully

Heya, Im still on 1.1.1 for version 1.20.12, and Ive noticed this coming up quite a bit in my server logs:

I know you're working on 1.21 versions at the moment, but I sadly wont be able to upgrade my server to that for quite a bit. Is there a way I can patch this on my copy of the mod to fix it out?

Does this work at all with the Butchering mod? Or does it not interact really?

New 1.21.0 server with 1.1.4 critter pack, 

Prawn

Im working on a fix.. though it means they despawn faster but i think its the best then stuck forever on water

the game isn't the best when it comes to air entities/animals they always stuck in water strangely enough

Is there any way to get crows and robins to stop getting stuck in the water? The oceans are filled with their blood </3

Since someone else commented on the swans, I felt I should share that I think they're the perfect size! Significantly larger than ducks, not huge compared to the seraphim. I was so happy to see some swimming with their babies :)

berserkus

Oh thats not good glad you reported it fixing it asap as i can

And really glad you enjoy the mod - it does everything better then people like it

Reporting that I got an error on my server console about a hedgehog trying to play an eating animation and failing, a few moments later my friends and I crashed and couldn't successfully rejoin until I disabled hedgehogs and cleared the cache

Also wanted to say this is one of my favorite mods ever, it adds so much life to the game and the models are so cute

Thank you for what you do 🙏

Chiappo

I made a translation into Polish-PL:

You can add them to mod :)

I love this mod. Combine with Forest Symphony for very immersive  forest.

https://imgur.com/a/53VrL1O

Ah, so I don't feel so bad asking on account of the yaks, but any chance of a Butchery compat patch?

Im glad the hedgehog fits the VS style more but those swans are HUGE. They might need a bit of shrinking by default lol

Cute mode :3

Thank you for updating this pack! It's a 100% MUST for the game in my opinion - I hope you include more over time as we could certainly use more sea creatures\river mobs now that we got updates to the water in 21. :)

AzuliBluespots

Hey and thank you - the nest for ducks are only working on unstable + hopfully 1.21.0

therefore its partly turned off cause it were a mess till that update

will add the translation for future releases of mod 😅

Alright, I tested and the mod is working... somewhat. I at least found some ducks and a flying robin.

Guess the animal spawn rate is kinda low, that's all.

Anyway, here's the current pt-br translation of the critters:

https://pastebin.com/96V1gBdR

I didn't translate the nest usage info since it's turned off(?) and the ducks can't be bred anyway, right? I'll come back to update when it's working.

ItsAvalon

Have you tried fill it with dry grass? they don't eat grain or flax for my understanding

(im sorry for misinforming everybody it apprently looks like i made a typo) - They eat grass Sorry for that

are we able to make escargo? (food made from snail)

I'm having issues with the Yaks. They're ready to mate, I have one male and two females, but they won't eat the grain I've filled their troughs with. I've tried rye grain, spelt grain, and flax grain

Chiappo

i am using v1.20.12 for vintage and for the mod is v1-1-1

Drag0nslay3r

Oh thats odd - what version of game / mod version you using?

i dont know, why but every time i touch the cow i crash.

is there a use for the duck eggs? a duck snuck into our chicken pen and i dont really wanna kill the duck but it keeps dropping eggs that make me think they're chicken eggs, but i cant seem to cook with them (vanilla or expanded foods) or really do anything with them

I don't know what kind of work goes into making creature mods like this but if it's at all possible, it'd be really cute to be able to tame owls, crows, and robins. Even so, thank you for your work in adding these cute critters! ^~^

Combat Overhaul?

AnniPicto

Hm thats indeed a strange bug.. 

since i dont even have any function/loaded stuff on player to my knowledge

i ran a quick creative world with a pickaxe swinging and only noticed that the hands frequently goes onto player when not using it

which i think its intended like an idle animation... - i cannot say this mod is the cause sorry (atleast not my end)

I don't know how it's related. After installing this mod, my hand animation disappeared. When I mine stone, I swing a pickaxe. After installing the mod, the hands are not displayed on the screen.

This is a very strange pattern. After removing the mod, the hands appeared again. Perhaps everything will be fixed after updating the game version (I have version 1.21.0-rc.4).

Hydromancerx

Glad to see it's great

Oh and you will soon be able to find the trumpeter swan

based on the suggestion from the list below👍

Cheers

I love the swan! Please do more types like the ....
- Trumpeter Swan
- Tundra Swan
- Black Swan
- Whooper Swan

Thanks! 

Chiappo

Thank you! You rock!

Hydromancerx

Hey 😀 bout that version... mainly cause it dug ram usage from my computer (around 64GB) & custom duck nests wouldnt happen

ive been working on the newest branch since

but the mod just hit 50K and i feel like doing people a favor

so im going to back port it to 1.20.12 again - Of course with lack of the henbox support & Tag system

Hope that is something to enjoy till next stable version happens 😎

Edit: there we go version 1.1.1 for 1.20.12 - Though ducks cannot be bred right now so keep em safe

1.20.12 support please!

PLEASE let me tame birds!!! i want a crow buddy T-T
maybe make it so we can find their nests in trees like beehives and steal some eggs to hatch? (or eat I guess) it might be easier to make things tamable with petai, idk i don't know coding things lol

Ensorcelled

Oh WHoops my bad fixing asap

animatiV

Going to look into that if it causes stuff.. it shouldnt really EDIT: No issues

EDIT 2: Upped Spawnrate try it now

....lots of them....

On the new map, after disabling the "More Animals" mod, in creative mode, I encountered a one group of swans only after 5,000 blocks. Nothing more. Maybe the animal spawns are too rare?

AzuliBluespots I also have "More Animals" installed, and I see that only the animals from that modification appear. I've checked dozens of lakes and ponds and haven't encountered a single duck.

I believe the duck had green details. Like I said, the crash was instant. I was in the creative menu to try and check if the animals were at least working, so I was gonna place one of them. As soon as my mouse stopped over one of them (what I was almost sure was a duck) to bring the context window up, the crash happened without a crash log window.

I'll get the crowdin translation and compare to your lang files, then post a pastebin link to it.

DesolateRose

The birds getting stuck in water is a bug i dont seem to have a solution for currently they just end up in water and can't escape ive tried serval things through releases none worked

and with the ducks in current version they need atleast to be fed enough times to gain ability to drop eggs... currently no henbox needed or water.. they just lay em where ever they want

Further info im working on a testing update for 1.21.0 which includes the new henbox support they added for other animals In which they will really lay eggs in a box/nest

which will be present in 1.1.1 of this mod

@chiappo thanks for responding! the cage mod dose not work with this mod but idk which end that is an issue on. also i found a bug/glitch for you, birds keep getting caught and stuck frozen in the water not a huge issue just something that you might not have caught on your own. i love your mod, it adds just a little more life to the game! also im attempting to domesticate the ducks do they need water nearby and do they lay eggs in a hen box?

AzuliBluespots

 could you explain the creative menu crash with ducks?

like which duck you hovered over and so? so its easier to spot the error

im going to look up the crowdin site

EDIT: Crowdin stuff is not something ive done it's a seperate mod..

Hmm, maybe I was just unlucky with their spawn then. I am using 1.0.9, but I also was trying a handful of other mods - specially "more animals" with four or more species of birds - those were spawning fine.

Btw, I finished translating the mod to pt-br (brazilian portuguese) over on Crowdin. Thought I had done that before... It's the version citing both crumps and you.

AzuliBluespots

Hi there it would be great if you could say what version of mod you used

Ive been recently going through to test 1.21.0rc2 and such and i had no issues with version 1.0.9 & upcomming version

I don't think the critters are spawning in version 1.21.0rc2. Couldn't find anything in the logs, but also couldn't find any of them in the wild. (also the game instantly crashed when I hovered the mouse over a duck in the creative menu, so there's that)

I know you're not there yet, just wanted to report it for later.
Keep going, the mod is great and I loved seeing the critters everywhere in the world.

DesolateRose

Hey there. In the current version the hedgehogs may eat honeycombs ( which is partly a bee hive/skep) that means they have a chance to attack em right now (im fixing that asap i tottaly forgot it)

for owls they are currently scared off by player & scarecrow.. but their stop range distance is abit short (also fixing that too to work with big scarecrow)

and for ducks to transport you can catch em with reed baskets with any kind of grain or fruit mostly they eat anything

currently unsure if the cage mod works with this.. 

i hope that clears the questions for now :D

hey quick question, do the hedgehogs eat bees? i have one that im keeping as a pet and i want to know if its safe to let it rome in my apiary or if i should keep it out. also can the owls be scared away by scarecrows? im worried they might eat my ducks or chickens. third thing, how can you transport the animals? id like to catch some more animals but this mod dosnt seem to work with the cages mod and ducks dont seem to be tempted into reed basket traps

Chiappo Could we get capybaras in the future?

Newfie

Hi there

I would recommend to look on modconfig folder inside config for this mod

theres a function called Enable Ducks in a config file...

Use that and disable em all at once.. though the nests will not despawn (YET) i will do a real quick hotfix for that

EDIT: Adjusted the spawnrate of nests to less Frequently on runtime..

I hope that helps

Still too many ducks, over 280 ducks on the map active and 300+ nests, so many that they are still stacking on top of eachother, please add a way to disable the ducks and the nests all together, I dont dislike the mod, but it is causing issues with the amount of ducks on the server. please make the nests and current ducks dissapear with disabling

Is ther posibility to add compatibiliti with CaptainOats' Butchering Mod  ?

Ensorcelled

Welp. Fixing it asap sorry bout that

Edit: Fixed now

/EDIT Yes, all better, thank you Chiappo 

So yeah, server spam again.... with 1.0.7b

Chiappo

I think I added you on discord. I don't know if I'm actually permitted to send links here.

itbegoose

Ive untill now used notepad++ ive recently installed some syntax checker for json and such to help further

Besides it would be great if you could provide the link at some point.. :)

i cannot do much right now but i will solve the issues soonish

@Chiappo You're welcome I do recommend vscode or another preferred editor with a language support addon if you're not already using it. It can be very helpful in adressing even small issues. If you would like me to provide the zip I made so you can make comparisons I'd gladly provide a link. I fixed some other small issues like duplicate entires and inccorect animations for a few animals.

itbegoose

Hey and really big thank you for the big report

I cant deny you're right and i must say sorry for misunderstanding what you meant

That being said ive looked what files were broken.. and i hopfully solved those as of now (1.0.7)

Im really glad you took some pictures.. they became extremely helpful

I have checked everything in red and i saw what you meant

But overall i don't understand github at all therefore i dont know how to use it - you're welcome to help anytime again if you want

But again Thank you. 😀

To follow up my previous comment here's a list of the affected files.

This mod is the one causing the issue. Multiple property keys across a good few of the json files are not double quouted. The hedgehog-male.json is malformed and results in an EOF error. Resolving the hedge hog one fixes the issue with bola.

If you upload this to github I'd be more than willing to make a pull request.

itbegoose 

Twisted_Vine

The bola patch is not something i made its by the creator of bola

i said theres patch issues on mod update a few versions ago and still its un-fixed on the bola mod end

the syntax got changed because i added a few things

therefore the issues appearing is not this mod but theirs

i hope that helps...

👍😇

The male hedgehog json has multiple syntax errors. Fixing them also fixes the issue with the bola mod. 

[Error] Patch failed: bola:patches/thecritterpack_patch.json
Exception: Unexpected end of content while loading JObject.
Problem: Bad patch syntax or incompatibility between Bola and The Critters Pack

Fix: Open bola:patches/thecritterpack_patch.json and check for malformed JSON. Alternatively, try disabling one or both mods.

I'm getting an incompatibility error for this and the bola mod.

You should add crow taming because you can befriend them irl and it would be pretty cool to command an army of crows

w0ntonim0

What.. 

Okay im pretty sure this bug caused more harm than good

Im going to look into how often they spawn and lower it by alot if so

But as of currently 1.0.6 fixes alot of issues but still it can still happen because i were using Hare's spawn conditions based on time of block light not time of day

VERSION 1.0.7 will HOPFULLY fix that + more

Working on it as i say this

routevenus Same here lol They even started spawning inside my beehive kilm where I put the fuel which is pretty annoying since it's hard to get in there and remove the carcass. Hopefully it gets fixed soon as this is a great mod and is always open for improvements.

routevenus

Oh my.. thats not supposed to happen.. fix comming in soon version 1.0.6 fixes most issues

Marlim

I highly recommend to wait with version 1.0.5 as apprently theres a big load of ducks going overboard

And currently no plans for butchering or Xskills because they take alot of time to perhaps get working

Could look into xskills for the ducks part so you still get a some skills but thats all

Fix incomming in like less than an hour from now (hopfully)

Sorry for any issues

EDIT : Duck spam fixed in recent version including nests going full insane spawnrate

I really liked the proposal of your mod, is it safe to add to a server?
And do you intend to add compatibility with other mods? Like butchering and XSkills?
Chiappo

this mod is great but there's probably like 10 duck nests in my house...

Charaille

Oh whoops thats an oversight perhaps from me.. i might did it abit too common

If its too heavy load i would recommend switch back a version.. i know flying birds are causing errors.. otherwise turn off ducks entirely cause next version fixes that in modconfig with mallard ducks

its atleast a way to solve the heavy load of ducks

Sorry for the issues it may have caused - im going to fix it now

And the nest thing its nothing to worry bout too much... just a missing animation thats all cause they don't move... 

Hi, I love your mod... but I installed the latest update and I am now getting invaded by ducks! I had about 40 converge on my base and wandering around... killed a bunch of them, and now they are starting to come back. I have other mods, so it could be caused by something else. I checked the server error logs and the only errors I saw were related to the mallard nest trying to play animations which its' shape does not have. Is this intended behavior? Are there any additional logs or other information I can provide? 

Just wanted to say, this is an awesome mod. Makes me desperately want birds in the base game. Other day went into my barn to find a literal barn owl trapped inside xD The ground animals are cool too, it's neat to just see a squrriel around or a hedgehog.

All I can think of is that tropical zones need an African swallow. LOL

Chiappo  Butchery compat when

Tisma 

Alright.. that took longer to fix than intended

The cause was all birds that got in the water made  them  fail to wander and went tottaly Nuts on behaviour

And by removing the cancel chance in wander task it somehow works now..

next version has that fixed.. hoping for no more big errors

i will update the mod as soon as i can get it ready.. Cheers :D

With pleasure Chiappo ! 
I can share dll with you if you need it for debug this ;)
Message me on Discord ! Tisma (Les Naufragés / The Castaways server)

Hey Tisma

thanks for the report.

Ive ran into the issue on my setup too but i couldnt check what was the cause

Apprently ive looked at it and i found out every flying bird was missing idle animations.. in task ai so it could explain why wander code were messed up

Otherwise i cannot explain whats the cause but it might be that :o

but next update will hopfully have that fixed - been working on a abit of an update :D

Hey Chiappo

I've some code problem on my servers ! 

Th3Dilli share me a Modified DLL for server so i can have extended logs.

There is it :

And there is same for Crow bird 

Thanks for your mods !

I Love that you can pet the snails. 
Would be great if you could pick them up
(this one fell into my butchering room during construction. Would Love to put them back in the Garden above)

Chiappo understood! i'm excited already! there's a few other creature mods that have the missing animation thing so i'm very grateful to you for explaining it! does that mean 🤔 that editing those other mod to remove any lines with animations that don't exist would fix the issue? if so i wonder if that would make the fauna of the stone age mods less of a burden... unless going into the code to try and edit that out is a headache lol guess i'll find out  

thank you for the answer and thank you for the mod, too! hope things go well! (and maybe also i hope you'll add more critters some day bc they're sooo cute 😤)

there were other animations that might be missing but i only coppied the schniffing one <3 

merryclefairy 

Strange but glad you gave it a go :) 

the warnings im already on to solve including the client warning.. with missing attachment point center (really odd)

The sniff error isnt a big deal it's just me that forgot that there werent anything like that

to conclude the shape does not have (animation) its basic info ,meaning that it lacks like the setup for a special animation

In other words it dont exsist, typo, or something missing

but thanks for the bugreport.. new update is right around the corner if all goes as planned

which should solve that + a few small simple additions/changes

ok so obviously i downloaded the mod anyway lmao but i was curious if you know what this means and if it's safe to ignore or might cause issues if there's a lot :

18.6.2025 19:59:17 [Client Warning] Entity thecritterpack:squirrel-male-brown with shape thecritterpack:entity/land/squirrel/squirrel-shape-a4 seems to be missing attachment point center but also has the FloatUpWhenStuck behavior - it might not work correctly with the center point lacking

so, the "attempted to play an animation code which its shape does not have: (animation)" line is something i've seen a lot with the fauna of the stone age mods and wanted to know if it's like ,, important or not ,, to address hahah :') 

but the "missing attachment point center" is a new one i've only seen with this and the updated Hieronymus's reptiles collection mods

mostly i ask bc trying to have all the fauna mods makes running a mod-heavy world really hard so i'm not sure if having a Lot of these errors causes a big hit ssdafdfs

p..pwease..i want to tame more critters.. lil house mouse... or have chipmunks/birds happy to hang around if there's a primitive survival tree hollow they can use.. hehe... 

Scorives

Glad to know you got it solved

And the minor errors should be fixed next update

Woodlouse being null is just a minor fix from my end to avoid issues further on..

@chiappo

Thanks appreciate it, didnt know it updated as i use auto updating mod but apprantly it is broken with the 1.20.11 waiting for an update guess ill have to update manually for time being thanks a bunch.

Scorives

i found the issue its because you use the 0.9.4 which was a tempory fix by crumps (not downloadable anymore)

and current version as of currently is 1.0.3.. which means it's abit outdated

Any older versions since 1.0.3 has minor issues on patches that should had been fixed by now..

i would highly recommend to update it to 1.0.3..

hope that helps 😅

Scorives

Hi there.. that server error. i can't trace it anywhere on my end it must be a conflicting mod of some sort? not sure

Foxes work fine here.. so it's indeed strange

I hope youll be able to give more infomation.. so i can Fix it

Chiappo crumps

Please add compatibility with Butchering mod. We love hunt on this critters and cook them! Yammy!

It works now. Thanks.

Strange.. RE-uploaded and try again it should work (hopfully)

Cannot download the latest 103 version.

Chiappo Love the mod, always have keep up the good work. we will look into the mod again later, once the players have recovered =P 

New Update becomes "404 Not Found" 🙄

Kara

i'm sorry to hear that... could be some dead animal they step on...

Xskills isn't currently supported on mod list and its also abit outdated from current version on page ( ive never added support for it )

the bit with mice yeah i tottaly understand - i will need to check further config mods or something to see if i can solve such

and the skeps eating thing i recall that raccoons love to grab em. could be that / or a critter of mine (not sure)

Edit: Can confirm i forgot to make flying birds / ducks / field mice NOT eat/seek honeycombs.. since they're considered fruit

And Fieldmice breeding have got a heavy nerf

they are now fixed in 1.0.3

Problems our large server have experianced:
- Vanilla animals somehow escaping pens (maybe stepping on other new aniamls, who knows?)

- Killing ducks gives -0.20 husbandry exp for xskills

- A config to disable mice breeding would be nice.

- Something, we arent sure what keeps eating skeps (two fence posts high) 

This is sadly a No go, for our server =/

Please add snail meat as a drop from the snails so you can be French!

Sakya Hi there. they use the default functions from game which means they dont run after 10 generations (added info on page)

Hello, is there any chance that you'd make Ducks tameable?

not compatible with Butchering mod and Bola mod

Centur1on oh whoops.. guess then updating stuff it can go alittle overboard on scale with such.. will solve it soon

thank you kindly

Chiappo Thanks so much! I'll drop by the bola mod comments section; I feel like  I would've caught it later in the day but it's pretty early here, so my mind went "oh, hedgehog" and completely missed the reference to the 'bola' mod in the log! xD

Chiappo Add closing } bracket to the end of hedgehog-baby.json file. I also inputted this file in json formatter and validator, but the } bracket is the fix of the issue of not working patch for bola.

Mairujyat Hey there.

it appears that it ain't my mod that broke but the bola weapon mod that don't support current version of critters pack (patches most likely)

i recommend to report it to the bola weapon (since it aint my mod that broke) it's their support to my mod that has not updated since i adjusted a bunch of bits from previous update

Sorry about that.. 

Hey, first comment ever on this site, woo!!
Ran into a dealie in my start-up log, hope it helps with debugging!

getting this error in the server Console with this mod isntalled. Removing it solved it. Can supply my full modlist if you want. Or even the full log!

can the birds finally land and perch or do they just infinately fly around and have ground variants 

Chiappo Wow, thank you so much ^^

Hey! So i love this mod very much! And i love living next to mountains. I noticed that Wild Yak don't seem to be spawning on the mountains. I have been to 3 big snowy mountains and none have spawned :( The only thing ive really changed for mountains is max hight!

Hope the mod becomes more popular and interesting! 

Evoken will do a quick hotfix for that so you can use it.. it should work as intended though i won't be supporting too much backwards unless demand

Edit: Added it hope that works for you

I see that version 1.20.10 is in dependencies in order to use this mod. Is there a chance it will work on 1.20.7?

Thank you for the update! Love your mod <3

Glad to see you are back! Keep up the great work! I look forward to your birds!

Hey.. it's been long time... And Really sorry for the big let off from updating the mod

EDIT: Attention i am working on the pack again with crumps

Next version will likely have some major function changes

Including a atempt to add real birds and abit other stuff

Further info to come soon

And crumps Thank you for get in contact with me ❤️

Hey guys, I have taken up the reigns for now to keep this going and introduced some changes

https://news.kalataka.ru/show/mod/24016

Would anyone like to work on figuring out a patch for this to continue it? I have a mild to moderate amount of experience now messing with mods but i would def be down for some help to get it done faster. I really love and enjoy this mod and wanna keep it going

I removed The Critteres Package from my server and even after I removed it, it's throwing warning out like this for a bunch of mobs. Any chance theres a reason it's still throwing codes out from the mod but I removed everything related to the mod?

2.4.2025 16:55:02 [Server Warning] Couldn't load entity class Vintagestory.API.Common.EntityAgent saved type code thecritterpack:crab-both - its Type is null! Will remove from chunk, sorry!

Will this mod be updated?  I love having all the additional critters in my world. Things seem fine but I keep getting error messages aimed at this mod. Please consider updating. Thanks, You Tube Laura's Little Worlds

@Wulff  The mice seem to congregate in clumps under my berries.  So I dug a pit under them and all the mice end up in the pit.  You can then kill off all the mice and you should see other animals spawn.

I love having hedgehogs! Will you be adding tooltips? I'm trying to figure out how to trap a hedgehog and what bait is needed. I attempted to use the bug net to obtain the snails and woodlouse, but no luck. Could this perhaps be something added in the future or a way to obtain live snails and woodlouse?

too many mice spawning. To the point i think it broke all animal spawns in my area. may just have to unsub from this. havent seen any other animals near my house in a very long time. just dozens and dozens of mice.

Since v1.20 i haven't seen any showing up in my game. Note i use the biomes mod. I know it's supported but soemthing is stoping them from spawning. :/

Chiappo

errors showing up since the last update apparently due to changes with animal behaviors.

can i tame hedgehogs? that would be so cool  XD

Khana
There are three options for solving the problem with mice:
1. Catch hedgehogs and release them near the house (in theory they should kill mice)
2. Exclude mice through the config (they reproduce very quickly)
3. Set a smaller spawn through a mod patch.

Chiappo
Can I use your developments for this mod? I really like the mod. There is an idea to combine several mods into one, with animals. Will you allow me to use your models and code? Of course, with the indication of the original mod and you as a co-author?

 there anything that chases the mice? they are becomin a pest issue XD

Chiappo
I and the players on the server are really looking forward to the release of the updated mod for game version 1.20+
Let's hope that the author will not abandon development and will continue to bring joy with hedgehogs, squirrels and crabs from the mod! 😍

Still spamming console with the AiTaskSeekFoodAndEat error and creating problems.

Would love to see an 1.20 Update of this!

I agree with Nonamomo, I feel like at most they should give just 2-3 feathers, and if so have more use like if there are birds around, then maybe they could give us a chance to find eggs in a basket, or for other critters to be fertilizers like worms from primitive survival. 
But still love the mod!

@LumpyAcidFish agreed. Never mind the ducks, even the crows are far to docile. Wild birds should be skittish and quick to flee. We already lost the dodo's because they didn't know better.

I love the ambience the birds add, but they make getting protein and feathers far too easy; their behavior needs to be re-worked, even if it's just to act like chickens who really like hanging around water.

id love to use this mod but the AI isnt all there

squirrels do not climb trees like in critters and creatures

field mice keep reproducing without any limit or anything hunting them

birds stay flying and get stuck in the water, flying birds and grounded should be one animal and have the ai to land or take off

and ducks are way too easy to kill

great mod ! but mouse are definitly annoying and make my server lag so can you explain how exactly to disable one creature thank you Chiappo

I don't know how, but I somehow died TWICE to a couple of telekinetic crabs in my most recent save. Is it possible to decrease their attack reach? I love the content here otherwise, everything's very cute and well rounded for VS!

Loving the ambience this adds to the game! Your ducks got me thinking... would love a loon in the game! Nothing like a loon call on the lake :) Hopefully that's not an insulting question, but... would it be as simple as swapping in a loon .oog in the mod files?  I'd go as far as trying my hand at a loon skin, but not even sure where I'd start :)

What a lovely mod!  If it ever gets updated into Biomes, I'll gladly add this.

Does this mod still makes squirrels drop redmeat? I find it incredibly funny that in the past baby squirrels can sometimes drop two redmeat, just like adult rabbits.

Chiappo

Please add an angora rabbit so Tels can add it's wool to their mod.
Thanks!

There seems to be a server error spamming the log, please see here for details:

https://discord.com/channels/302152934249070593/1276616990240411718

Could you add a config to disable field mouse reproduction?

They tend to gather around certain berry bushes and then ravenously breed, without despawning. This causes some noticeable frame drops on my server when it isn't managed.

The ducks and the hedgehogs are my favorite animals in this pack. They are very well made IMO. 😀

Hi, I have translated the mod into german.

de.json

I very much appreciate the birds in this mod <3

Chiappo  Hello! I created a translation for your mod, I would be grateful if you include it in the mod

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ATMSVzFIzKN8mB6vogkYQeLkfdcvPRg6/view?usp=sharing

The wild ducks seem overly tame around the player; and are quite happy to hang around and let me kill them one after the other. That's rather unfortunate, since they are a very easy food source as a result.

Can the ducks be domesticated? love the mod

From my testing, it seems it happens with field mice and ducks

Hey, 

There seems to be an issue with the latest version of the mod. It is constantly spamming the logs with the following message:
Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Vintagestory.API.Util.ArrayExtensions.Contains[T](T[] array, T value) in VintagestoryApi\Util\ArrayExtensions.cs:line 175 at Vintagestory.GameContent.AiTaskSeekFoodAndEat.<ShouldExecute>b__25_1(IPointOfInterest poi) in VSEssentials\Entity\AI\Task\TasksImpl\AiTaskSeekFoodAndEat.cs:line 145 at Vintagestory.GameContent.POIRegistry.GetNearestPoi(Vec3d centerPos, Single radius, PoiMatcher matcher) in VSEssentials\Systems\POIRegistry.cs:line 159 at Vintagestory.GameContent.AiTaskSeekFoodAndEat.ShouldExecute() in VSEssentials\Entity\AI\Task\TasksImpl\AiTaskSeekFoodAndEat.cs:line 149 at Vintagestory.GameContent.AiTaskManager.OnGameTick(Single dt) in VSEssentials\Entity\AI\Task\AiTaskManager.cs:line 174 at Vintagestory.GameContent.EntityBehaviorTaskAI.OnGameTick(Single deltaTime) in VSEssentials\Entity\AI\Task\BehaviorTaskAI.cs:line 114 at Vintagestory.API.Common.Entities.Entity.OnGameTick(Single dt) in VintagestoryApi\Common\Entity\Entity.cs:line 874 at Vintagestory.API.Common.EntityAgent.OnGameTick(Single dt) in VintagestoryApi\Common\Entity\EntityAgent.cs:line 540 at Vintagestory.Server.ServerSystemEntitySimulation.TickEntities(Single dt) in VintagestoryLib\Server\Systems\World\EntitySimulation.cs:line 330 at Vintagestory.Server.ServerSystemEntitySimulation.OnServerTick(Single dt) in VintagestoryLib\Server\Systems\World\EntitySimulation.cs:line 169 at Vintagestory.Server.ServerMain.Process() in VintagestoryLib\Server\ServerMain.cs:line 886

My server was on version 0.8.9 and after updating to 0.9.1, the issues seemed to start. 

Hey! Is there a way/what i have to do if.. i just want some of them, not all :)

Hi!
It is there any sort of dependancy? Or am i something missing?

error on my server
version of mod: v0.9.1 #v1.19.4
version of server: 1.19.4
mods installed: list

Thank you

Chiappo

I have prepared a translation of this mod into Russian, I will be glad if you add it in the next update

@Tels

First of all. good job on German translation. going to add that next version =)

Secondly the things you said about snails shouldnt be an issue to solve, let me see what i can do with their speed + climbing function.. as the climb function apprently works better on bigger creatures

And yeah i know the birds sometimes get stuck or move derpy i have currently no easy fix for that.. as of speaking but im eagerly trying to fix it =)

Hedgehogs shouldn't be an big issue either way with water. though no promise

also glad you like the mod ❤️

Here is a German translation. I wasn't sure what type of "woodlouse" it is exactly, so I used "Landassel" which is more generic that the specific "Kellerassel".

This is a wonderful mod! 💖

I do have a few suggestions and feedback:

• the snails speed is .. well, not snail like :D It could be reduced quite a bit
• snails crawling over a fence seem to float (potential vanilla issue with the fence collision box?)
• the song birds do get stuck on inside-corners, and half-block-windows etc. Esp. chiseled blocks. They do fly away if you remove the block, but otherwise they are permanently fluttering in place
• hedgehogs seem to cross ponds and lakes by walking into the water and then on the ground underwater. As they are mammels, they would drown so they should avod water.

And lastly, I think the larger animals like Yaks, esp. as they are breedable animals, should be moved to their own mod, as they don't seem to fit in as well with the rest.

Thank you again for the wonderful mod, hearing the birds chirping, even if you don't see them, is just delightful!

Btw., are you looking for a German translation?

@Laerinok

Oh Whoops.. going to fix it ASAP. Thank you =)

Edit: that has now been solved. again thank you for help

Chiappo

hello, Just downloaded the new version but not tested yet too late ^^
I had a look in the fr.json and there's a small omission (in bold).  you forgot "dead" :

"thecritterpack:item-creature-chipmunk-male": "Tamia (mâle)",
"thecritterpack:item-creature-chipmunk-female": "Tamia (femelle)",
"thecritterpack:item-creature-chipmunk-baby": "Tamia (bébé)",

"thecritterpack:item-dead-creature-chipmunk-male": "Tamia mort (mâle)",
"thecritterpack:item-dead-creature-chipmunk-female": "Tamia mort (femelle)",
"thecritterpack:item-dead-creature-chipmunk-baby": "Tamia mort (bébé)",

@Veir

Hi There. Sure thing =) though i'm about to update soon (i recommend wait till 0.9.0 is out) with sending it

Edit: there we go

Hello, are You okay with translations? I want to translate it to Polish and provide you the lang file if thats okay

Hello, I like your package for the ambiance it provides to otherwise silent worlds, thanks! Wanted to tell you my observations: duck/crows don't flee from me even when I'm right on top of them. Crow also ignored any damage and continued walking like nothing happened. Squirrels fled from me just fine.

EDIT: When I approached sleeping ducks, they fled from me. It looked like during the day they were stuck in some kind of loop for finding food or floating on water.

@Sevatar

Oh sorry.. i missunderstood what you said. currently as of 0.8.9 they cannot be breed i think?.. i am currently trying to make it work propperly, including taming can't promise it fully

@Novalee

sadly no ive not managed to make that work either.. i will gladly try to attempt it work with baskets ❤️. again no promises 

Edit:i have checked v0.8.9 it appears i didn't make it work as intended but they should breed. but in v0.9.0 it should be fixed now. Also in v0.9.0 you can now catch field mice, crows and waxwing (Ground variants) with basket traps

Can mice be caught in basket traps? Sort of tempted to try and make them tamable with petai or the vanilla breeding method.

Hi! Yes, I understand that, but there is a difference between domesticable and breedable no? The females show as ready to breed.. Or is that just a UI thing

@Sevatar 

Hi there. as i told before i am not currently able to set it to work therefore they're not domesticatable

Hello! I saw an old comment saying that you had no plans for the Yak's to become domesticatable... But are they still breedable? And if so, what food do I feed them?

Is there any plans to add compatability with the Butchering mod?

Chiappo

Laerinok

Hi.. the l18: that you spoke about was left over from 2020 where i originally made dragon flies for the mod (lost the files) perhaps i should remake em :)

And the other entry l42: were a typo from my side. they should now have been fixed as you mentioned

i appreciate the work you did - will add the translation for the mod next version (0.8.9) 

Chiappo

Hello,

I am going to translate in french. I have two questions. I guess there is a typo error in the en.json :
- l18 : you wrote "item-creature-dragonfly-yel low": "Yellow Dragonfly", I guess it is "item-creature-dragonfly-yellow": "Yellow Dragonfly", (without th space in "Yel low")
- l42 : "item-dead-creature-house-sparrow_f": "Dead House Sparrow (flying)", Hem, a dead bird flying ? Or I don't know what you mean.

Moreover I don't see any Dragonfly when I look for in Crea.

what's wrong with crabs attempts? XD

Здравствуйте а это нормально что при попадании в ловчую яму 

об ежиков убиваются цыплята и маленькая зайчата?

That was quick lol

Very good mod btw, adds a lot of ambience to the game to have birds and little critters running around. Though if another critter eats my dang plants I might go on a rampage lol. Appreciate the hard work

@Kara Really sorry for the crab trying to grow into a hedgehog... i have no idea how that happpend.. thank you for the report (Fixing asap) Sorry

Edit: Fixed :)

@WickedSchnitzel you're doing wonders for the reports/bug finding i appreciate that. thank you.

Next version should be here very shortly. Fixing that crow diet

Creature thecritterpack:c_crow has SeekFoodAndEat task but no Diet specified

Khana Huh strange.. i did not add any zombie version... was it a flying or ground one? ive yet to encounter that bug.. kindly sorry for the horror they did

Also for those who reported the crow not having a diet it should now have been fixed.. in next version :)

... did u put zombie animals in at some point by mistake? theres a "dead waxwing" thats MOVING AROUND !! D:

can i keep snails as pets?

this mod is worth downloadin purely for the ground crows. put some music on and it looks like theyre havin a lil scank along. XD

Please check the logs for
[Warning] Creature thecritterpack:XY has SeekFoodAndEat task but no Diet specified
and specify the diets, whenever you have time for it. Thanks Chiappo

been getting the no food specified error for crows.  about toi do the newest update so idk if that should be fixed?

Chiappo

Thanks so much for looking into it--I suppose the root cause must be elsewhere!

Chiappo

Thank you! They look great!

Great mod! The models really fit the VS aesthetic. Would love to see more birds, bugs, and amphibians.

@Hydromancerx

There we go :) added 1 image to show off Crows 2.0 & Field Mouse

Chiappo

Can you post a pic of the field mouse? Thanks!

MakoTrip

Okay so me and one of my friends cannot reproduce the issue.. and they work fine on our end.. we tested on both wolf pups and wolfdog pups and the feed tooltip appears and they can be fed with and without the critters package enabled

We don't know what the problem could be otherwise 

Sure thing.  When I run those three mods (same versions, all pulled from the one-click install links) at the same time, the "Feed Pet" tooltip does not appear for me when holding a piece of raw meat or bone and looking at a wolf pup.  Further, right-clicking the pup does not attempt to feed it to begin the taming process.  When I disable The Critters Pack but leave the other two enabled, the Feed Pet tooltip appears, and I am able to right-click to feed / attempt to tame the pup.

Thanks again for looking into this--I really appreciate it.

MakoTrip i ran some tests on the 1click install on latest versions of PetAI(v2.2.3),Wolf Taming(v2.1.0), The Critters Pack(v0.8.5) AND normal install and so far no issues (not even tooltips) could you explain me the details on the problem you had?

Thanks, Chiappo--really appreciate the effort even if you don't have any luck!

MakoTrip ill try look into that, (no promises i can make both work cause i never used those wolves mod) but ill try

CherryRook Im On it

Gonya Yeah i don't understand why they do that but fixing it ASAP

Maltiez Thanks for the heads up... stuff happens

Just dropping a note here that this mod seems to conflict with the tameable wolves mod (for me at least).  Huge bummer because I really want to run both mods.

Commenting again now that i have used the mod for a few hours, it works great no game breaking bugs. But one thing i have noticed is the duck sounds are playing as if the mob were directly near the player even when they are few blocks away. Might be related to audio formating as per the other comment

Hedgehogs are for some reason able to spawn inside my house. All doors were closed, floor all made of cobblestone. They are also able to spawn inside of my pens and were killing my chickens. Might be something to look in to!

You might want to convert sounds to mono

[Warning] Audio File thecritterpack:sounds/creature/squirrel/hurt.ogg is a stereo sound but loaded as a locational sound, will not attenuate correctly.

@WickedSchnitzel thank you again for the notice Hm i thought i had fixed it but lemme try what you say hopfully that solves it

Edit: That seems to have done the trick on my end now i hope its same for others and you (next update solves it)

Sorry, me again. The watersplash sounds still do not play. I believe you have to do the following: lower walking priority below 2, make sure "fleeentity" is above walking priority (which is not the case atm) and make "getoutofwater" the highest priority, like 3. Also make sure to edit the 'priorityforcancel' entries accordingly. I did that and it works better. Thanks

Crows cawing adds so much to the game tbh. Great mod !

Crabs lets gooo!

@Kessem as much i would love to add Yak & Ducks To Be.. i have not done it cause it requires alot of setup... which im currently not able to do it properly.. so in all Sorry not yet will look into it at some point..

Chiappo

Are the Yaks, and Ducks domesticatable/ranchable by any chance?

DrBubba ive have also been very annoyed by flying crows myself ingame turns out i messed up something with spawn areas & their hitbox and turn rate

Cookieie i have now lowered the decay time for woodlouse so it should'nt be an issue further on as its changed to 0.1 hour insted of 1.0 hour

and to everybody reporting issues thank you

Not sure if there's a way to resolve this, but your crows (I believe) seem to partially ignore walls and are constantly getting trapped in my house and then unable to get out again.  I have three in here now and I also can't shoot them.  Please send help soon.

I accidently killed a woodlouse. I pull out the knife, get a red cross but nothing happens. I can't get rid of it and I can't use the block it is on. Help!  I love all the new critters in my world. 

@WickedSchnitzel oh thank you for the notice ill look into it soon

Edit: Ok that should have been solved now till next update

Could you set priorityForCancel: 2.10 for your squirrels? Would allow better compatibillity with the 'simple footsteps' mod. Otherwise they will not cancel their wander task as soon as they go into water, which will continue to play footstep sounds instead of water splash sounds. @chiappo

Chiappo

Thank you for adding the Field Mouse! I look forward to whatever else you make too!

Chiappo thanks, your amazing~ <3

Kara Oh thats bad... im sorry for that i will fix that asap

Edit: Fixed now on 0.8.3 Highly recommend everybody to redownload that version insted of 0.8.2

Your ducks hate my console it seems. 

You got that hedgehog stew? 

SuaveDoggo Scarecrows support should be on its way :)

PetMudstone it should be fixed now in next update

ATree Thank you 

Does this support the Scarecrow mod by chance ? I know the training dummies work but I don't to put want both out ! :d

OMGGGG

For some reason a raven and hedgehog spawned right inside my closed off home, not sure why since no other mob does that.

Love the models! :-)

@Hydromancerx Thank you for the great suggestions i cannot promise all but we'll see 😀

@Yanazake Oh whoops thats something haha will fix sometime soon

Chiappo

So glad you have returned! Some sudgestions for other creatures ...
- Field Mice
- Chipmunks
- Geese
- Beavers
- Bluejays
- Woodpeckers
- Lobsters
- Beetles/Ladybugs
- Cardinals
- Bats
Thanks in advance!

Oh my gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad it's updated.

Were there any changes to it? I know we can't breed/keep them, but trapping for them to be food eventually could be a thing. I'm sure hedgehogs are hunted somewhere.

Also, make sure the squirrels give off one or no bushmeat. Last time I butchered a baby one, I got TWO redmeat pieces. It was hilarious 🤣
And for compatibility, maybe you can make your crabs drop crab meat from Primitive Survival if it's installed?

Marlim its now getting its very much needed treatment of 2024 :)

To anybody looking on this mod im finally back on modding and i will be updating it very soonish

as much as i love this mod i had to settle down the updating phase cause of rough stuff - lucky i am beyond that point 

Why was this wonder discontinued?

Is this going to be updated for 1.18.1?

Can we please get hedgehog stew?

Add translation pls

I absolutely love this mod, however the small animals need to know not to linger inside the berry bushes created by the Wildcrafts mod. I have also mentioned to them that I think the damage on getting poked is to high I believe. I have seen piles of squirrels, crows and hedgehogs, kittens too but that's another mod. So compatibility would be great.

@Minni6in Thanks for the heads up.. thats very nice to know

Also the next Update will be released very soon which will add the European Robins & second version of Crows.. (both of these will only be flying around.. so do not worry about crows fly into your crops and eat it all YET...?)

once they release the hawk entity we will have proper flying ai that can attack and all that fun stuff, til then though, til then

edit : also to avoid the brightness from increasing the entity shape I've discovered if you just make it big in the model creator instead than it won't do that, there's a resize feature in the tools section, just select the origin block of your entity (mine are always named body) and increase it all, or decrease for babies

@Mysticar Oopsie i meant .75 has the woodlouse name bug present but .76 has it fixed

@Chiappo awesome! Seems I overlooked the update from .74 to .75 😄

@Mysticar already fixed no big issue its just the name of dead creatures not the loot itself 😂

Crows seem to have a minor name bug. When killed, the body says "Dead Woodlouse".

Robin!!! Can't wait :D I imagine that modding a flying entity can be quite difficult so take your time and in the meantime we can enjoy already existing in mod animals :)

the next version adds a new bird (the European Robin) aswell a second type of crow that can fly around (This version will not eat any crops/berries) only the groundbound one..  i have yet to figure out a better way to make crows fly/eat/walk so in the meantime i'm doing this as a work around

Also a Modconfig is in the works (so you can turn off specfic creatures)

@Sindanarmo Glad you like them - and yeah the crows... i agree it would be great if they could fly but as it turns out i have not been able to make it work i even tried make 2 seperate types of crows one that flies and other that doesnt but they kept getting stuck in water (Flying once) AND going crazy then flying around for some reason...(Insane SPEED) i will have to check something again to check if i can solve it..

Hedgehogs are just perfect now :) Ducks also, crows are funny and make perfect crow sounds but can you make them fly at least a little? That would be really awesome cause sky is still kinda empty...

1618 Creatures&Critters mod is supposed to have crocodiles in next release :)

Love the mod. Thanks

Alligators/Crocodiles would be a valuable addition.

For people like me who disable annoying surface drifters, having dangerous animals to deal with would balance the peaceful elements of the game.

@Sindanarmo Yup i am on it... i am trying my best to solve the issues as currently standing... dont worry next update will solve alot 😀 SOON released...

I think it would be also useful to have a config similar to the one for Creatures&Critters allowing to disable some of them and/or make animals more climate dependent - for instance yaks live mostly in high mountains in rather cold parts of the world and having them in temperate climate in lowlands is kinda weird.

Broken i may plan on adjusting it to passively require Creatures and Critters Not mandatory! just gotta check something... so it can run alongside if any issues (will mean i will have to remove some of the animals sadly)

Minni6in i do not have the required skill/Knowledge to make them swim as the basegame does not allow such.. Edit: THey do though not SINK to buttom of water and animation is made tho

do the ducks swim?

Wanted to let you know that there are a couple mods out there now that at current have some of your creature types in it. Check out Creatures and Critters & Lichen. The Yaks prolly be jes fine for sure ad the Auroch is quite different, but in C&C they have squirrels and snails (loads of diff ones for snails).  As for all the others they sound fun. Will wait to get the mod until some sorting has been done. Might want to collab with Catasteroid , Minni6in , Lich. Maybe even  Ahrondus since I saw a horse mod. I think if you all worked as a singular unit the life that would spring into the game would be amazing.

Edit: Yup, totally didn't see you had the * for the mods part for other ones that had similar critters. 
Still think if you all would collab you could add a zoo to the game lol

Love animal mods and yours is great, hedgehogs and ducks are very adorable 😍 Squirrels as well :) Noticed that crow texture is missing.
