Alex's Mobs is a Forge and NeoForge mod for Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.1 that adds over 85 new mobs spanning real-world animals and original fantasy creatures. The mod installs on both the client and the server, so all players in a multiplayer session need it loaded at the same version. Each mob comes with custom models, sounds, animations, drops, and behaviors designed to fit alongside Vanilla Minecraft's art style.
What Alex's Mobs adds
The roster covers passive real-world animals such as the banana slug, blobfish, gazelle, hummingbird, jerboa, roadrunner, and toucan. Neutral animals like the bison, elephant, gorilla, kangaroo, moose, orca, and raccoon will only fight back when provoked. Defensive and placatable mobs including the anaconda, crocodile, grizzly bear, and tiger can be tamed or avoided with the right approach. Fantasy creatures range from the subterranean Bone Serpent and the arctic Froststalker to the Void Worm, a large boss mob found in the End dimension. Many mobs drop unique materials used for crafting new gear, food items, and utility tools.
