Chao Garden Mod
Hatch, raise and evolve your own Chao on a private island garden. Every Chao has its own personality, moods, skills and DNA, and grows into whatever you raise it to be.
Welcome to the Chao Garden
Hatch, raise and evolve Chao that grow into whatever you raise them to be.
DNA Transformations
Feed your Chao DNA dropped by Minecraft mobs and watch it transform - from Creeper and Cow to Ender Dragon, Axolotl, Bee and beyond. More forms on the way!
Hero & Dark Evolutions
Raise your Chao with kindness or roughness and it grows into a Hero or Dark Chao - and the skills you train shape exactly what it becomes.
Ender Dragon Chao
A Chao that has feasted on Ender Dragon DNA, out on its island beside a sandstone Chao Garden portal.
Life in the Garden
Your Chao wander, play, socialise and get up to their own quirky fidgets on your private island.
Garden Fruit & Feeding
Hungry Chao go looking for fallen Garden Fruit or a stocked Feeding Box on their own. Every feed trains a skill and fills their belly.
Chao Crystal Scanner
Look up every Chao you own: exact colours, traits, social style, secret favourite food, DNA progress and the hidden genes it could pass to its children.

Polar Bear Chao
It roars at monsters to slow them, swims well and never freezes. Its wings are frosted at the tips.
Slime Chao Idles
Left to itself, a Slime Chao wobbles, melts into a puddle, stretches like taffy, turns into a slime cube and more.
Slime Chao Idle Animations
Nine idles of its own, each one changing its shape so it moves like real jelly.
Slime Chao Copying Mobs
Now and then it turns into a creeper, a cow or a player, at the real mob's true size.
Slime Chao Mob Copies
The creeper swells up and pops into a splat, the cow grazes and moos, and the player swings an arm to mine.
Slime Chao Specials
From its Special menu, turn a Slime Chao into a creeper, cow, player, horse or Ender Dragon. It stays that way until you stop the transformation.
Special Transformations
Each mob it turns into walks, idles and acts the way the real one does.
Slime Chao Horse
Turn it into a horse and ride it, jump bar and all. A higher Run skill makes it faster.
Slime Chao Horse Animations
Walking on diagonal leg pairs, grazing, and rearing up with a neigh.
Slime Chao Ender Dragon
A full-size, rideable Ender Dragon made of slime, in your Chao's colours, with its ball floating over its head.
Ender Dragon Animations
Walking, flying and roaring. Ride it on the ground or take off with the jump bar. A higher Fly skill makes it faster.
Learning Specials
A Slime Chao learns its bigger Specials by eating more Slime DNA: player and horse at 25, armor at 50 and the Ender Dragon at 100.
Slime Chao Armor
Wear your Slime Chao as a bubble suit: a row of slime hearts over your own, a bounce instead of fall damage, and eyes that blink with the Chao's.
Slime Chao Armor, Back
Its little wings sit on the back of the suit.
Putting On the Slime Armor
It melts into a puddle, slides to your feet and climbs up round you. Hold Shift for 6 seconds and it bursts back off.
Flying in the Slime Armor
If the Chao you're wearing has a Fly skill of 15 or more, you can fly on its wings, faster the better its Fly skill.
Hovering in the Slime Armor
Hovering, you stay upright while its wings beat. With a Swim skill of 12 or more, it lets you breathe underwater too.
Slime Armor Flight
Fly forward and you lean into it like you're wearing an elytra, arms swept back and legs out behind.
