Adding more birds to your Minecraft world.
66.9 of the 71 points that apply = 94 out of 100. The points above are rounded to whole numbers.
Fowl Play adds birds to Minecraft to make the world feel more alive, with realistic behaviors, sounds, and flight; some provide ambient wildlife, while others can be tamed to help players. Its roster includes emperor penguins, gulls, American robins, varied rock pigeons, northern cardinals, blue jays, house sparrows, chickadees, ravens, mallard ducks, red-tailed hawks, crows, and several kinds of geese. Birds inhabit fitting surroundings, from penguins swimming in frozen oceans and gulls patrolling beaches to ducks in wetlands, pigeons around villages and rocky coasts, and songbirds in forests. Their behavior includes flying, perching, and foraging by day, with perching birds seeking trees to sleep in at night and waterfowl resting on land or water. Many birds react to nearby players and wildlife: blue jays and cardinals perch in trees, fly between them, and avoid approaching players or predators, while gulls swoop for fish or dropped food and can grow accustomed to players who feed them. Pigeons can be tamed with food and tasked with delivering a named bundle to the player whose name matches its recipient. Geese have wild and domestic variants, with domestic types bred from wild geese after gaining their trust; domestic geese are less wary of players and can have their wings clipped with shears. The mod also adds scarecrows, which birds that avoid players will avoid as well, and a configurable updated chicken model with additional variants.
Written from Modrinth and CurseForge . How we write it
Changes the game's code in 7 areas: Mobs and their behaviorChanges 6 game code files in this area: mobs, animals, villagers, projectiles and how they move and act., Blocks and fluidsChanges 5 game code files in this area: how blocks, fluids and redstone work., World renderingChanges 1 game code file in this area: drawing the terrain, sky, clouds and weather., Rendering and graphicsChanges 1 game code file in this area: drawing mobs, items, particles and textures on screen., SoundChanges 1 game code file in this area: playing sounds, music and the sound engine., Inventory and itemsChanges 1 game code file in this area: items, chests and other containers, crafting and enchanting. and Game coreChanges 1 game code file in this area: the main loop, lighting and other code the whole game uses..
Adds 14 items, 13 mobs, 1 other entity, 1 recipe, 2 advancements, 13 loot tables and 40 sounds.
Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.
Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
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.
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.
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images, sounds and code history and found none.
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.
