Wild Life

Quickstart

1. Load into any world with the mod installed. Head to a forest or plains biome to find White-Tailed Deer or Snowshoe Hares, a forest or jungle for Wild Boars, or mountains and hills for Bighorn Sheep.
2. Kill an adult animal to collect its raw meat (and possibly leather, wool, or rabbit hide).
3. Toss the raw meat into a furnace, smoker, campfire, or soul campfire to cook it.
4. Eat the cooked meat to restore hunger and saturation.

To spawn animals instantly, use their spawn eggs from the Nature tab in the creative inventory.

Overview

Wild Life adds four realistic wild animals to Bedrock Minecraft, each inhabiting biomes that suit them. They wander, flee danger, form small herds, and grow from babies into adults. Hunting them yields new raw meats that cook into nourishing food, expanding your survival options beyond vanilla sources.

What It Adds

Animals

All four animals spawn naturally on grass in their respective biomes during daylight. A small percentage spawn as babies that follow their parents and grow into adults over time.

Meats

All items appear in the Nature tab of the creative/survival inventory.

How To Use

Hunting

Locate animals in their natural biomes and attack them. Adults drop 1–3 pieces of raw meat (varying by species) plus occasional bonus drops:

• White-Tailed Deer — Raw Venison (1–3) + Leather (0–2)
• Wild Boar — Raw Boar Meat (1–3) + Leather (0–1)
• Snowshoe Hare — Raw Hare (1) + Rabbit Hide (0–1)
• Bighorn Sheep — Raw Bighorn Mutton (1–2) + Wool (0–1)

Using a Looting-enchanted sword increases meat yield. If you kill an animal while it is on fire, it drops the cooked version of its meat automatically — no furnace needed.

Killing adult animals also rewards vanilla XP.

Cooking

Place any raw wild meat into a furnace, smoker, campfire, or soul campfire to cook it.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Fleeing: All animals panic and run when attacked. Deer and hares are especially fast. Snowshoe Hares also actively flee players and wolves on sight, even before being attacked.
• Retaliation: Wild Boars and Bighorn Sheep fight back when hurt.
• Tempting: Hold the right food near an animal to attract it — wheat for Deer and Bighorn Sheep, carrot / beetroot / potato for Wild Boars, and carrot / golden carrot / dandelion for Snowshoe Hares.
• Breeding: Feed two adults of the same species their tempt item to breed them, producing a baby. Babies follow parents and mature into adults naturally.
• Leashing: All four animals can be leashed with a lead.
• Fire drop conversion: Animals killed while burning automatically drop cooked meat instead of raw.

Progression And Strategy

• Early game: Snowshoe Hares are the easiest early target (very low health), though they yield only one piece of meat. Use carrots or dandelions to lure them into a trap.
• Mid game: Deer and Boars provide 1–3 raw meats each. Setting up a campfire near a hunting ground lets you cook meat quickly without returning to base.
• Efficient hunting: Enchant your weapon with Fire Aspect to auto-cook drops and Looting to maximize meat per kill.
• Ranching: Lure two adults of any species with their respective breed item, breed them, and grow a sustainable private herd. Use leads to keep animals penned.
• Food value: Cooked Venison and Cooked Boar Meat tie at 8 nutrition — on par with cooked porkchop and steak — making Wild Boars and Deer the most rewarding hunting targets for food efficiency.
