Duckling Mod, Ever found yourself in need of more cute things in your Minecraft experience? How about more adorable critters?
Take a look at this Duckling Mod which adds three different types of cute and delightful ducks that automatically spawns in river biomes. They support other biomes as well but those are for you to find out, giving you extra things to do and explore!
The ducks can also be spawned from either duck spawn eggs. There’s also a chance to spawn these ducks when you throw the eggs.
The duck eggs will always hatch a duckling and they will follow you around if you have bread. The type of duck you can get by tossing the eggs will always be random.
And because they won’t always spawn with regular duck eggs, be wary not to throw them all away since many of them will just break on the ground like regular eggs.
The ducklings also grow to larger, adult ducks quicker if you feed them bread more often! A green particle animation will be visible to confirm their growth.
You can also breed these ducks just like the other animals found in the game! Try feeding two adult ducks with bread when they’re near with each other and the ducklings will follow their parents around just like what you see in real life, swimming in ponds and rivers together! Talk about adorable.
The third duck type is called “Quackling”, a larger yellow duck whose design is inspired by Totoro from the movie “My Neighbor Totoro”. These Quacklings can be found near swamp biomes and will naturally spawn in them over time as well as their eggs. They will also spawn with or without a big dripleaf on their head, which adds even more to the wonderful reference to Totoro using a giant leaf as an umbrella as well as a hat.
Quacklings are also more than just giant ducks with goofy, outwardly turned eyes. They are known to fish from time to time but they are also traders just like villagers!
They typically trade for emeralds and raw salmon but some of them will trade for string or coal or other fish and you’ll receive things like buckets of cod, campfires, and even enchanted fishing rods that usually have either unbreaking I or unbreaking II already enchanted.
There’s also a holiday fruit cake added with this mod that you can either make yourself or trade for with one of the Quacklings.
These are sweet treats that the Quacklings quite enjoy despite seemingly no way to give it to them to eat but they will saunter over to you if you hold them out when they are nearby.
This can be a great way to get their attention if you want to start trading with them and they will replenish a little less than two hunger bars so you can enjoy the benefits of holiday fruit cake as well!
Overall this is a fairly simple mod but adding ducks and ducklings seems like a thing that Minecraft is just missing and that could simply be that they would be similar enough to chickens that they wouldn’t be needed. But they feel like they just belong now with this mod adding them and you can now raise your own family of ducks to add to your Minecraft world.
While they can’t be tamed, they can at least be useful as an additional source of eggs on Duckling Mod that will work in any recipe that calls for eggs usually reserved for chickens. This mod does require an additional API installed called Geckolib found here[MS1] .
