About
Animalia adds wildlife designed to make Minecraft’s world feel more alive while fitting the look and atmosphere of vanilla play. Its roster includes Elephants, Moho, Jaguars, Hippopotamuses, Rhinoceroses, and Crocodiles, with adults, young animals, and family relationships shaping how creatures behave. Elephants travel in savanna herds, warn unfamiliar players before attacking, forage for food, and can build lasting trust with players who offer hay; adults defend calves and share aggression with their herd. Their combat uses tusk strikes, trunk attacks, and damaging stomps, while their trunk visibly handles food and their stomps leave temporary ground cracks and create nearby camera shake. Elephant tusks can be harvested for Ivory, which is used to craft a broad building set including bricks, stairs, slabs, walls, polished blocks, a pylon, and a figurine; removed tusk segments gradually regrow. Moho are peaceful jungle birds that fly as adults but remain ground-bound as chicks, and they can be bred with sugar or honey to lay clutches of eggs that incubate before hatching. Jaguar and Hippopotamus drops also provide distinctive equipment: the Jaguar Pelt Cape grants a jump boost, the Pelt Carpet prevents fall damage, and Hippopotamus Pelt Boots let players walk along underwater bottoms at land speed. Hippopotamuses can be pacified and remember multiple players, while bottled sweat provides fire resistance and the Antiseptic effect, which reduces fire and poison damage and slows oxygen loss underwater. Natural spawning can be enabled or disabled separately for each Animalia animal, with habitat spawn weights configurable individually.

Security
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
What it can do on your computer
- Creates settings files
- The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. Both are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
- Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.Read without running it
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares that the project reads or edits things on your system outside the game. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when this applies.Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
- Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.The internet, folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
Privacy
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.The code of both files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds and found none.
We have not read its code history yet.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.No AI content or AI features declared.
