Chao Garden Mod 1.0.6
The biggest update yet. Your Chao look, move, grow and live in brand-new ways.
✨ New Chao models & animations
- A brand-new Chao model, with a huge set of new animations: hatchlings that crawl, walking, swimming, flying, eating, sleeping poses, being carried and lots of personality fidgets.
- Hatchlings now grow into their full size over their first 10 in-game days.
- Fixed summoned Chao sometimes rendering solid black.
🧬 DNA transformations
- Minecraft's mobs now drop DNA. Feed it to your Chao to train them, and if one eats enough of one kind it transforms: Creeper, Cow, Pig, Wolf, Ender Dragon, Axolotl, Bee and more.
- The Crystal Scanner shows how close each Chao is to every form.
😇😈 Evolutions shaped by training
- When a Hero or Dark Chao grows up, the skill you trained most now decides what it becomes. Train Power for big fists, or Swim for fins.
💞 Personality, friends & genetics
- Lots more personality traits, each with its own quirks.
- Chao now make friends, and sometimes get into arguments, with each other. You can see who gets along in the new Friends view.
- Colour genetics: babies blend their parents' colours and can carry hidden colours and traits that resurface generations later.
🍎 Life in the Garden
- Garden fruit trees grow on your island and drop Garden Fruit.
- Chao now have a belly. They get hungry, go looking for fallen fruit on their own, and eat from the new Feeding Box.
- A living ocean surrounds the islands, with kelp, seagrass, coral, fish and shipwrecks.
- The islands now have their own Chao Garden biome.
- New Chao voices for idle, hurt and death sounds.
🛠️ New tools
- Chao Crystal Scanner: look up exact colours, traits, social style, secret favourite foods, DNA progress and hidden genes for every Chao you own.
- Wi-Fi Router + Chao Shop: connect a Chao PC to the internet and buy eggs, DNA, Garden Tree saplings and more with emeralds. Stock changes daily.
- Crafting skill: Chao now have a daily crafting limit that grows with their skill. Each item tracks how many times it's been crafted, and items crafted often can come out with bonus enchantments.
Requirements
Fabric Loader, Fabric API and GeckoLib.
⚠️ The new biome and ocean only appear in newly generated Chao Garden chunks. On an existing world, explore new areas to see them.
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
Maven coordinates:
