WildEarth

🌍 WILD EARTH

46 real-life animals, 5 legendary bosses, the frozen north, river life, deep-sea diving and 9 wildlife structures, all with a hand-crafted look.
For Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge and Fabric.

Wild Earth brings the real animal kingdom into Minecraft. Every animal acts like its real-life self: lions hunt in prides, beavers build dams, musk oxen circle their calves, sloths hang from branches, penguins slide on their bellies and octopuses change colour to hide. Tame them, ride them, collect what they give you and craft gear from it.

Taming and riding
Feed most animals their favourite food until hearts appear. Then right-click with an empty hand to make them stay or follow.
🐎 Ride the Orca, Humpback Whale, Beluga, Elephant, Giraffe, Zebra, Reindeer and Bengal Tiger with a saddle, and even fly a Bald Eagle!
⚠️ Some animals stay wild and can’t be tamed: the Great White Shark, Octopus, Poison Dart Frog, Anaconda, Piranha, Catfish, Narwhal, Musk Ox and all deep-sea animals.

Real behaviour
Lions, sharks, crocodiles and anacondas hunt, and orcas hunt sharks!
Beavers gnaw trees and build dams and lodges across small rivers (but never touch your builds).
River otters belly-slide into rivers and eat fish floating on their backs.
Kingfishers dive beak-first into the water to catch fish.
Piranha schools swarm anything in the water that’s bleeding.
Walrus herds defend their calves, and musk oxen form a ring with the calves safe inside.
Octopuses change colour to match the ground and squirt ink when scared.
Elephants spray water to put out fires, and sloths hang from branches.
Poison dart frogs are poisonous to touch, and jellyfish sting.
Many animals shed feathers, fur or scutes over time, so you never need to hurt them.

🌌 THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

Every night in snowy places, glowing green and purple curtains ripple slowly across the sky. Head north, wait for dark and look up!

🐟 SALMON RUNS

Every so often a big school of salmon swims along a river near you, leaping out of the water and leaving Salmon Roe behind. Eagles, kingfishers and otters come to feast!

🌊 DEEP-SEA DIVING

The deep ocean is dangerous, just like in real life.
📉 Water pressure builds up as you dive. Warnings show on screen before it gets too high, and going too deep hurts.
🤿 Dive deeper with the Scuba Mask, Air Tank and Wetsuit.
🔵 Build a Bathysphere, a steel diving ball with air, light, a depth gauge and sonar that finds nearby sea animals. Nothing can grab you inside… except maybe the White Whale.
🔦 Light up the dark with the Dive Light, Glow Bait and Jelly Lantern.

📖 THE ANIMAL GUIDE

Your in-game encyclopedia, with tabs for Ocean, Land, Sky, Rivers, Arctic, Legends, Structures and Crafts, plus a search bar. For every animal it shows where it lives, how to tame it, what it gives you and a real-life fact. It fills in as you discover animals, and the Crafts tab shows the real recipe for every piece of gear.
