Description
Mobs Andes 🦙
Bring the vibrant, rugged spirit of the South American Andes to your Luanti (Minetest) world!
Mobs Andes is a high-qualiaty companion animal mod built for the mobs_redo framework. Unlike heavy, monolithic animal packs, it is designed from the ground up to be lightweight, modular, and perfectly compatible with your favorite world generators and mods.
Whether you are looking for a loyal protector for your home, a hardy mount to cross mountain peaks, or a source of luxuriously soft wool, Mobs Andes adds life, utility, and charm to your adventures. Meet the Animals 🦙 The Alpaca (Vicugna pacos)
Prized worldwide for their soft, warm fleece, these peaceful grazers roam the grassy high plains. Tame them with wheat or grass, shear them, and build with their beautiful wool!
Natural Colors: Alpacas spawn in three gorgeous, natural coat colors: 🟤 Light Fawn — the classic, warm beige-tan 🟫 Dark Fawn — a rich, deep earthy brown 🪙 Light Silver Gray — a sleek, modern silver-gray Behavior: They peacefully graze on grass, flee when attacked, and can be tamed, bred, and captured with a lasso to guide them home.
🫏 The Donkey (Equus asinus)
The ultimate high-altitude travel partner. Donkeys are exceptionally hardy pack animals that make traversing steep terrain a breeze.
Riding & Saddle: Right-click the donkey with a saddle (from the mobs / mobs_redo mod) to mount and ride it! (Note: the equipped saddle is functional for riding, though it is not visually displayed on the donkey texture). Autopilot Mode: Want to sit back and take in the view? Toggle autopilot mode while riding by pressing your Special / Aux1 key (on desktop) or tapping the Special / Aux1 button (on Android touch controls). The donkey will navigate paths automatically. Touching any manual movement key or jump button disengages autopilot immediately (Manual Override). Behavior: They wander grassy biomes, graze calmly, and follow players holding grass or wheat.
🐕 The Domestic Guard Dog (Canis lupus familiaris)
A loyal guardian for your homestead. The domestic guard dog is more than just a pet—it is a fierce protector.
Homestead Protection: Once tamed with raw meat, your guard dog will follow you faithfully. If hostile mobs or intruders threaten you, your companion will immediately leap to your defense! Commands & Care: Right-click your dog to order them to "stay" (guarding a specific spot) or "follow". Feed them meat to heal their wounds and permanently increase their maximum health.
