This mod is based on the 'Cosy Critters & Creepy Crawlies' mod by PigCart

Birds

Birds can flock together, perch and call out. Each bird is biome specific, meaning you will only see for example: toucans in jungles, and robins in forests.

Seagulls flying in the sky Ducks sitting in a lake toucans flying

  • Crow (from previous mod)
  • Seagull
  • Robin
  • Flamingo
  • Magpie
  • Barn Owl
  • Red Cardinal
  • Parakeet
  • Toucan
  • Japanese Snow Fairy
  • Turkey Vulture
  • Blue Tit
  • Mallard Duck

Crawlers and bugs

Butterflies will spawn in most biomes and are also biome specific like birds.

List of butterflies includes:

  • Blue morpho
  • Monarch
  • Painted Lady
  • Flaming Cresent (spawns in the crimson forest)
  • Warping Cresent (spawns in the warped forest)

Butterflies flying in a flower forest

Butterflies look weird in a still photo but trust me they are cool lmao

There are 2 variants of geckos: Green geckos and Mediterranian house geckos.

green geckos climbing down tree log

Green geckos spawn on trees in the jungle, the other one spawns on sand in deserts

Cicada on a tree log

Cicadas spawn on trees in hot biomes, and plains. They play their sound.

World Alive is based on the mod Cosy Critters, an ambient mod that added:
  • Birds
  • Spiders
  • Moths
  • The Hat Man (allegedly)

v1.0.0 - "World Alive"
A full rebrand:
New critters & sights

  • New birds: Flamingo, magpie, seagull, barn owl, parakeet, red cardinal, robin, toucan
  • Butterflies - blue morpho, painted lady, monarch, the flaming crescent (crimson forest) and the warping crescent (warped forest).
  • Cicada - an insect/ bug idk lmao that chills on logs and makes that loud ass noise
  • Desert mirages - distant oasis and village illusions that shimmer on the horizon and fade away as you get close
  • Horizon wanderers - far-off riders on land, and ships out at sea. Spot one and it turns away

Ambience & sound overhaul
  • Every bird now calls both while perched and in flight with a per flock call cap
  • master bird-call volume slider in the config.
  • Cicada calls cut off the moment their tree/block is broken.

A more seamless world
  • Cross into a new biome and its wildlife is already there, instead of waiting for the previous area's to despawn.
  • Previous flocks linger and thin out naturally behind you, rather than being cleared - turn around and they're still there.
  • Wildlife spawns off-screen so nothing pops into view.
