Species Mod adds fictional creatures to Minecraft 1.19.2 that feel right at home in the vanilla game. This mod brings five unique mobs created by Reda, Ninni, Noon, GLaDOS edition, and Bornulhu. Each creature has cool mechanics and animations that make them worth hunting down.
Mobs in Species Mod
Wraptor
Large, neutral birds found in warped forests. They wear turquoise plumage and drop feathers when you farm them. Wraptors get angry if you pluck them bare or if they see wither skeletons. You’ll find them nesting in Wraptor Coops throughout the biome, which have loot like wither skulls and eggs.
Wraptor Eggs can be bred with Shroomlights or found in coops. To hatch them, repeatedly drop anvils on them until they crack. If you hit a cracked egg with a hoe, it drops a Cracked Wraptor Egg that you can eat for Wither Resistance, making you immune to wither damage just like the Wraptors.
Birt
These odd metallic bird-like creatures live in Birt Dwellings, which are special structures found in hollowed birch trees. Up to three Birts can live in one dwelling. They communicate by using antennae on their heads to send signals to each other.
Birts lay eggs in their dwelling every night. Birt Eggs work as projectiles that either hatch into new Birts when they hit blocks or stun enemies with a “Birted” effect on impact. The eggs’ hardened shells pack a punch.
Limpet
Bipedal mollusks found deep underground with shells that sparkle based on their altitude and biome. Coal, Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli, Emerald, or Diamond minerals make up their shells. These shells are tough and block damage under 12 points.
Use a pickaxe to crack their shells and harvest the minerals inside. Limpets panic when they see pickaxes and run away, so you have to chase them down. Each hit requires time between strikes, and you need multiple hits to break the shell completely. Fortune and Silk Touch enchantments work on these shells.
Roombug
Sleepy arthropods living in savannas and badlands. You can tame them with Honeycombs and heal them with Bottles of Honey. Tamed Roombugs let you ride them or sit them down, where they’ll doze off loudly.
Other entities can mount sleeping Roombugs and ride along with them. Shift plus right click lets you force entities off the Roombug, which makes it easy to move mobs around.
Deepfish
Rare bioluminescent fish living in deepslate aquifers. They’re translucent with glowing internal systems that pulse with light. Deepfish are known for their melancholic cries and often form choirs together. Collect them in buckets if you want to keep them in an aquarium.
