Wild Animals

This datapack is mostly designed for server usage (less tasks for the player), but works well in singleplayer.

No resource pack required, fully server side.

All the new animals are spawning naturally in their respective biomes, and are animated. They despawn if no one is around.

This datapack can be used in singleplayer, but it may lag depending on your computer. Manually use /function animals:kill if it lags!

• Elephant (savanna, jungle)
