You've Been Proxeled

where's he going ? what's he doing ? huh ????

i animate now

im locking in chat .,..,.,,,.

like to get spammed

golly gosh, if it isn't everyone's favorite two rodents- mice and rats! these two will be popping in to Naturality sometime, tamed with anything they can get their tiny pink paws on. they love redstone and can detect traps and contraptions from a ways off, helping you stay safe. their tails and fur also find use in potion-brewing!

saw a buncha people's blockbench isoposting and wanted to make my own- here's a giant isopod for the upcoming mod Naturality!

while you're isoposting, join the mod's discord :)

isopods isopods i love my isopods

pods! CLAP

ba doom-boom-boom-boom

my standards for "compatible": wont crash the game if i have both of them on at the same time lmao, sounds like there's tons of opportunities for them to interact tho!

Is naturality mostly new mobs/will there be plants? More crops? Also taming mechanics - will possums work like foxes? Or do they actually follow you around/sit etc?

Its awesome to see a dino mod in the works tbh the last one i played was on 1.7.10 (fossils and archeology revival i think? its been a while) and that didnt have dinos spawning in naturally (tragic).

When/how did you get into minecraft & modmaking? I spent so much time on temporary servers playing hexxit w my friends lmao we only switched to a newer version with 1.16

these are some good questions!

paragraph 1: fair enough! i always love it when mods include cross-compat, makes it feel like an expanded universe lol there’ll be plenty of crossover points between all my mods

paragraph 2: naturality will be a mix of mobs and plants. i def want a mixture of the two, along with some real-world features (silkworms, ants maybe)! there’ll be a lot of crops- esp. “heirloom” real-world plants to explain why MC plants look so modern. as for taming and tamed animals- generally animals have two “tame” states in my mods—a “befriended” state where they won’t run away, are rendered neutral and allow you to breed them—and a “tamed” state which varies among the individual but generally allows for inventory access, carpet/chest/harness usage/placement, stay-follow-wander and riding. possums, in this case, are a 2-step tame process- 1. feed the mom, access inventory, 2. take babies and raise. most animals won’t be like foxes when fully tamed, though a few will

also tomatoes and corn’ll be in naturality lol

paragraph 3: i. love. fossils. and. archaeology. that was probably my first foray into all the crazy stuff MC modding could do, in probably 2017 or so. and don’t worry! prehistorian’s dinosaurs (for the most part) will spawn naturally, with fossils reserved for rare skins and some boss-summon material (ooo!)

paragraph 4: great question! i started playing MC in… maybe 2014-15 or so??? my memory’s pretty foggy, but i remember the new launcher and polar bears and thinking the new aquatic update was BIG NEWS. as for modding—i discovered that world maybe 2016-17-18 territory.

i had a big family server (that i’m trying to get running again) with one lonely mod- DrZhark’s MoCreatures! along with F&A Rev., MoC was another mod-codifier (modifier?) of sorts- it cemented the idea of “holy crap, these people are bending MC to their will!! HOLY CRAP!!!” that led me to learn Blockbench in… mid 2021?? granted, i had some art experience before then.

since i’d consider myself a relatively good writer, i came up with these huge master lists of creatures and features (which i’ll eventually publish as fully-fledged prox mod bibles). it’s been a real lesson in creativity, coding, and a whole bunch of other stuff! someday i might make a proper modeling tutorial for how to make a semi-decent animal model, since there’s literally nothing out there in proper Mojang style lmao

thanks for the ask! like i said before ask as much stuff as you want i love answering questions!

hii! I'd love to learn more about Aves if you'd like to share. Why do they take the shape they do when they do?

Alrighty! Can do.

Aves is my main OC, and also a representation of my therianthropy and otherkinity. Aves uses any pronouns including xenos and neos, like me.

Besides that, Aves is mainly a tribrid manticore/dragon/griffin cross, to represent the three upcoming open species I’m working on for a worldbuilding project. Aves also has some aspects of smaller species from that same world, but they’re unimportant :)

As for their appearance- they get their body shape from dragons, mostly. They have heavy keratinous scales that they got from manticores, and feathery fur they got from griffins. Aves has several pairs of wings- three sets of “flight” wings, an ornamental pair of trailing wings, a wedge-shaped pair on their tail for steering, and if you’re being specific the three sets of fins on their tail could be considered wings as well, I suppose. Their tails (of which they have three) are very long and whiplike. Their colors shift depending on their mood.

important Aves note- depending on who Aves is talking to, they can switch forms to match. If they’re speaking to a manticore, they take the form of a manticore. Same for griffins and dragons.

As for the lore- Aves is a progenitor, or the creator of all species in the world’s creation myth. They’re the head of the pantheon, and represent opposing forces- life/death, joy/sorrow, sickness/health, wrong/right… et cetera. Because of this, their right side is twisted and corrupt, and their left is pure. According to the myth, two children sprouted from their two side tails- two gods, one just and one corrupt. These children imbued each creature of the Earth with three traits from each (the fox, for example, is cunning, tricky, and sly (bad) but also loyal, noble and free (good)).

Aves also wields this flamethrower-gun-thing known as a gigantomizer. Feel free to ask about that (and its smaller form, the atomizer). That has to do with The ORiON Project, my WIP comic.

they’re unrelated! there’s a surprisingly small amount of variations minecraft rats can have lol

Remember when I said I'd do that rat showcase tomorrow?? Well, here's the showcase.. because I got sick!

These aren't all the rats, because there's about 13 of them. Wow.

Heheeee... rats.

maybe you guys wanna see these . maybe
