FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

This MOD provides additional mobs to extend upon PilzAdam's Simple Mobs. Which is required for this MOD to work.

So far, it includes:
Additional Animals:
Cow (gives milk),
Rabbit
Overcooking and using the result to make dye
Meat spoilage if it remains uncooked
Cages for Pet Rodents
They must be fed apples and have a bucket of water available to survive

Raw meat can be preserved by using a refridgerator provided by VanessaE's Home Decor Mod.
You may also disable this feature by adjusting the config option in init.lua

-Shortened cooking time for scorched stuff and meat
-Decreased quantity of meat droped by cow
-renamed texture files to conform with standards
-only player who milks cow hears splash sound

v0.2-->0.3:
-Commented out residual debug barf line
-moved cow right-click sound effects to only sound with poper tool
-added cages for pet rodents, require apples for food and buckets of water to drink

V0.1-->0.2:
-Adjusted cow image and box dimensions
-Added milk_splash sound effect for when milking a cow
-moved cow's dry moo to play when attempting to milk dry cow rather than when milking it dries it up
-provided constants as config options for timers and chances
-refactored redundant code into a function spoil_meat()

Future Plans for this: (subject to change)
--HIGH PRIORITY:
-- support more food, --check balance-- [cheese]
-- add fresh meat and remove rotten meat litter periodically
--MED PRIORITY:
-- add more animals, (chicken/eggs),(pigs/piglets[catchable]),...
-- fork mobs and add ai tweaks and rebalances, and for animals:
-- breeding & extinction possibility
-- add monsters,
-- cows lift head in water and when walking sometimes
--LOW PRIORITY:
-- add sound effect variety
-- cows "eat" grass

I've adjusted some of the cow's parameters. They will be in v0.2, but If you want to change it now [Lines 39 & 41]:



I've also tinkering with the code for simple mobs. So far, I have made it so that mob-entities only begin to drown when submerged in at least two nodes of water, and if they jump into water from very high they do not take fall damage, and various other things.
I may just turn this into a fork. ...or, I can supply diff output...

Very nice! Do they rot in chests?

+1 Nice Job!
Also, make it so you lose health if you eat rotten meat.

Yes, the meat rots in chests. You get a warning (sound effect and chat message) if you're carying the meat when it rots otherwise not.

Eating rotten meat is hazardous to your health.

I will be adding support for this in my food mod.

by the way, you can use this technique to check if a mod is installed.

If it is, do the dependent code, if not skip it.

Sweet, Thanks! That is quite helpful.

I forgot to comment out line 281 before releasing v0.2. It was only meant for debugging, so you can comment it out or remove it. It will be commented out in the next version.

Extremely Nice! +1

ok :D
great for jails as well...
tell me it isnt breakable with hand...
PLEASE!

I made is specifically for holding rodents. So, it is breakable by hand when empty. You can change this by editing line 552 from

to

If you want to make jails, I suggest using my texture with locked doors.

RELEASE UPDATE: v0.3-->0.4:
-Shortened cooking time for scorched stuff and meat
NOTES:--cooktime with single coal outputs:
nil == 13
1 == 40
2 == 20
3 == 13 --DEFAULT
4 == 10
5 == 8
-Decreased quantity of meat droped by cow
-renamed texture files to conform with standards
-only player who milks cow hears splash sound
-moved everything to a separate files and added config option to enable/disable their use
-fixed bug in cages: where the cage would be placed sideways or upside down (removed: paramtype2 = "facedir")

I'm planning on making a small mod to add a node for jail-cell bars for Ragnar, I'll post it here when its done. But, I'm working on a texture pack at the moment so it's not a high priority.
This mod needs cheese for rats to drop and eat, and to be made from the cow's milk. Since its already been done, I plan to add support for, but not dependence on, rubenwardy's food mod for that.

Food Mod Support

This mod is now supported in the food mod.

For jails you can use this:


And use the my_mobs/textures/unused/my_mobs_cage_top.png image renamed to jail_bars.png. Put the code in a file named init.lua and the png in a folder called textures, together in a folder called jail. WTFPL

i have already 3D cows like minecraft so i don't like this mod i have a better one who adds creepers too.

At the time the mod was created, to my knowledge 3d mobs where not possible. Apart perhaps from the wielditem ones some other mob mods experimented with.

The rabbit here has a funny picture (looks more like a mouse :)), and the idea of a cage with animal inside that needs food and water is nice. Perhaps the mod could be updated to use 3d animals. There are several cow models, and AspireMint has done a nice rabbit.

A good mod with farm animals would be nice. There have been many attempts, but usually it starts and ends with sheep (perhaps an occasional cow like here). The mobs in sapiers mobf mod at least come close but do not really work on servers with many players yet.

I like the cow textures... They seem more realistic than most of the textures of other creatures from mods that I have seen... Great Work :)
