Introducing the Duckling Mod
The Duckling Mod in Minecraft introduces a charming twist to your gaming experience by adding a trio of ducks to your virtual ecosystem. As you explore river biomes, you’ll be greeted by the quacks of white ducks and mallards, adding a layer of auditory ambiance to your adventure.
How to Spawn Your Feathered Friends
These web-footed creatures can be brought into the world using duck spawn eggs, or by a stroke of luck when tossing a duck egg. Be mindful when throwing duck eggs, as not all will hatch a duckling—some may just shatter upon impact. When successful, you’ll be rewarded with a duckling that will loyally trail behind you, especially if you’re carrying bread.
Accelerated Growth and Breeding
Feeding your ducklings bread not only earns their affection but also speeds up their growth. Watch for the telltale green particles that signal their swift journey to adulthood. Ducks and mallards can also be bred, creating a heartwarming scene as ducklings paddle after their parents across Minecraft’s waterways.
Meet the Quackling
A third, more whimsical duck known as the Quackling also graces the game with its presence. Resembling the beloved character Totoro, these oversized, yellow ducks can be found near swamp biomes or spawned using their unique eggs. Some even sport a big dripleaf atop their heads, reminiscent of Totoro’s leafy headwear.
Quacklings: More Than Meets the Eye
Quacklings aren’t just for show; they double as traders, bartering items like emeralds and raw salmon for goods such as enchanted fishing rods. Their trades offer a unique twist to the usual villager interactions.
A Festive Treat: Holiday Fruit Cake
The mod also introduces a delectable holiday fruit cake, which you can craft or trade for with a Quackling. While it’s unclear if the Quacklings can consume this sweet treat, they will flock to you if you hold it out, making it easier to initiate trades. Plus, it’s a tasty snack for players, replenishing hunger bars with a festive flair.
Conclusion: A Quacking Addition to Minecraft
The Duckling Mod may be simple, but it fills a void in the Minecraft universe, bringing a sense of completeness with the addition of ducks and ducklings. While they can’t be tamed, they serve as an alternative source of eggs for your culinary creations. To enjoy this mod, you’ll need the Geckolib API, which is essential for its functionality.
