🧪 Mo' Creatures: Nostalgia Edition — v1.20.1-1.0.0 (Beta 2)
A major update to the 1.20.1 beta — focusing on spawn fixes, aquatic AI, and config rewrites.
✅ New Features & Improvements
🧬 Mob Spawning Overhaul (w/ help from AlexMobs)
- Spawning now uses biome tags for more accurate placement.
- Mo' Creatures mobs now respect dimension rules — no more sky-falling Wraiths or Werewolves in the End.
- Aquatic mobs are now the only mobs that spawn in water — goat families have been safely returned to land.
- 🦈 Shark spawning has been corrected.
⚙️ Configuration System Rewrite
- The old
MoCreatures.cfg system is being phased out.
- Replaced with
MoCreatures.json, mimicking a datapack-style config system.
- Documentation provided here.
🐉 Wyvern Persistence
- Wyverns now (finally) stay in their lair across chunk reloads.
- Further testing planned to confirm edge cases.
🐛 Bug Fixes
🐬 Dolphin Movement (Taming + Riding)
- Fixed a critical bug where dolphins were immobile.
- Caused by deprecated method calls from 1.16.5.
- Required a full rewrite of taming and ride behavior.
- Erratic motion still needs tweaking, but functionality is restored.
🧠 Aquatic Mob Memory Leak
- A bad pathfinder was causing mobs to drift endlessly and leak memory.
- This was due to broken swimming AI in 1.20.1.
🎣 Fishnet Storage / Amulet Issues
- Certain mobs could not be stored due to bad casts left over from the initial 1.20.1 port.
- Fixed for fishnets and relevant amulets.
🦃 Turkey Model
- Turkey model had disconnected parts and animation glitches.
- Fixed by properly reattaching model part hierarchy for 1.20.1.
📖 Horse Guide Book
- Now working correctly — available in the Misc creative tab.
⚠️ Known Issues
-
Big Golem
Block shooting (incorrect blocks held, granite is defaulted? Shoots nothing)

Mini Golem
Minor block-positioning offsets — should be a quick fix
