⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT & REQUIRED ON SERVER

⏩ REQUIRES PUZZLES LIB TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC & NEOFORGE)

⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

⏩ REQUIRES FORGE CONFIG API PORT TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

If available for a mod, configuration is possible directly from in-game using the mod menu (requires Mod Menu by Prospector to be installed on Fabric).

For manual configuration using an external text editor all files are found at .minecraft/config, named as MOD_ID-client.toml, MOD_ID-common.toml, or MOD_ID-server.toml, depending on the type of config. Not all types might exist for a mod, if any at all.

🌟 Huge thanks to Shcott21 who originally published this mod as the Mutant Creatures so many years ago. Most of the work and most of all the amazing models were all done by him.

🌟 Thanks to Chumbanotz for being the first to bring the mutants to modern Minecraft in the form of their Mutant Beasts mod, laying the ground work for this final revival.

🌟 Thanks a lot to tdstress for overhauling all textures in the mod to fit the new Minecraft art style!
