I’m On A Cruise And Might Be Unreachable For About A Week, Or At Least Kinda Spotty In The WiFi Department.

millipede !

the way you make creatures look so alive with just pixels is INSANE. i am obsessed with everything you make. i want to gently hold them

waaaw !! thank you so so so much !

i’ve got a LOT more coming , i assure you !! the full roster of Naturality’s first release is underway and ( nearly ) halfway done !

raccoon fur naturality

return of the silly little guys !! in keeping with my " have all mobs from mo'creatures " goal for naturality , here's one of the creatures for the first / second ( havent decided yet ) update :: the raccoon !!

they are foils to possums and chitter at them when confronted . they can be tamed and will defend their owners . birds are scared of them .

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!

-prox

sobbing i’ve seen no less than four people tag @possuminnit in my possum post

I THINK THEYVE SEEN IT NOW

important patch note - my blogs now officially have NO DNI ! wahoo yay yippee woo

just be nice ok . obey dnis of my followers and mutuals and people i reblog from . toodle

( in case you’re curious , the only DNI that was in place was ANA / ED blogs )

so uhhh

i got feedback on the grey one

here!!! grey 2.0!!!

GEESE will make their way to the first Naturality update- birds and other farm-folk! I know- big news. Anyway, on to the meat of the post- about these lovely birds!

Geese, specifically the Canadian goose (at far right) and its fellow wild geese, spawn in virtually any body of water. Canada geese find themselves in the cold, attacking any adventurer who dares get close to their nests. Dewlap geese (far left, middle right) on the other hand spawn in the rainy highlands of the Overworld. The domestic goose must be bred, but will occasionally spawn in villages.

Geese can be tamed and fed various items. Feeding them bread gives them weakness.

HONK!

hiiii !!!! this is a reminder - PLEASE obey your own DNI when interacting with me . ive had a lot of MDNI / 18+ accounts follow me . it literally says in all caps in my bio that i am a minor i physically cannot make this easier

i wake up

i check the news

“ rfk jr plans to track the medical history of autistic people ”

why do i even bother anymore

is your mod public? if so, where can i download it?

my three mods ( Naturality, Prehistorian, Mythos ) aren’t public yet ( closest one is Naturality, whose first update is scheduled for later this year ) but when they are, Modrinth.
