Mo' Creatures is a Bedrock addon from ESTEBAN1303YT, with DrZharky credited as co-author, that recreates DrZhark's long-running Java mod. It adds 57 creatures, along with new blocks and items, and works on Bedrock only. Java cannot load it.
Supported versions
- Minecraft 1.20.50.
What it adds
The roster mixes harmless ambient life, neutral animals and hostile mobs. Most of the animals spawn on grass at light level 7 to 15, and many drop hide, raw meat or feathers on death. More creatures are planned.
- Bears in four types (grizzly, black, polar, panda), with 25 to 50 health. All but the panda are neutral and hit for 6.
- African elephants in deserts and Asian elephants in jungles, spawning in groups of 3 with 40 to 60 health.
- Birds with six variants and bunnies with five. A tamed one can perch on your head.
- Ants, flies, fireflies, maggots, crabs, deer, ducks, turkeys, turtles, boars, big cats and small ocean fish. Piranhas are hostile.
Taming and riding
Taming is the core loop. Bears accept any raw meat (pandas want sugar cane), birds take seeds, bunnies take carrots, and elephants take cake. Big cats need raw cod followed by a medallion. A tamed bear can wear a saddle and carry a chest worth 15 slots, while elephants need a harness before you can ride them and a separate elephant chest for storage. Name a turtle Donatello, Leonardo, Michelangelo or Raphael and it gets a different skin.
Installation
Open the downloaded file with Bedrock so it imports, then switch on the behavior and resource packs in your world's settings. The full walkthrough is in how to install add-ons on Bedrock, and fixing add-ons that will not load covers the usual failures.

Questions about Mo' Creatures.
3 questions
Which Bedrock version does Mo' Creatures support?
The newest file targets Bedrock 1.20.50 and requires no other packs. It was published in January 2024, so on later releases some creatures or behaviors may not work as described. Try it in a fresh test world before adding it to a long-running save.
Can I use Mo' Creatures on Java Edition?
No. This is a Bedrock addon recreating the Java mod, and Java cannot load add-ons. Java players need the original Mo' Creatures mod by DrZhark instead, which is a separate project with its own files.
How do I tame bears in Mo' Creatures?
Feed a bear any raw meat. Panda bears are the exception and take sugar cane. Once tamed, a bear can be saddled, given a chest for 15 inventory slots, and made to sit by sneaking and interacting with it.
