What’s New in 2.0+

2.0 is a ground-up rewrite of the duck AI.

• Flocking AI rewrite. Ducks self-organize into leader/follower chains.
• Migration Untamed leader ducks periodically fly 80–140 blocks to a new location.
• Taming overhaul Tame the leader duck of a flock to lead the whole group.
• Animations Idle, walk, fly, panic, and a rare DAB animation via GeckoLib.
• GUI Config system Real-time in-game configuration via /quack config (requires OP).

Features

Duck AI

• Panic: any hit causes adult ducks to fly to a random escape point.
• Ducks avoid monsters, wolves, polar bears, and bees on the ground.
• Baby ducks follow the nearest adult.

Taming

• Feed seeds to a duck to tame it. Only the leader duck of a flock needs to be tamed, the wild followers trail the tamed leader who follows you.

• Tamed ducks do not migrate.

Spawning

• Spawns across temperate, forest, taiga, wetland, river, and shore biomes.
• Wet biomes (rivers, swamps, beaches) have bonus spawn weight.
• Group sizes and spawn weights are configurable.
