How many animals does Naturalist add?
Naturalist adds 24 animals, along with their variants, all designed to fit seamlessly into the vanilla world.
What is the Net in Naturalist?
The Net is the mod's catching tool, used to capture small creatures so you can pick them up and relocate them rather than only fighting or breeding them.
Can you tame animals in Naturalist?
Yes — some of the mod's animals are tameable, giving you companions, while others simply enrich the ecosystem with their behavior.
Where do you find Naturalist animals?
The animals are spread across biomes to blend with vanilla, so exploring different environments is how you find the mod's 24 creatures and their variants.
Does Naturalist change vanilla gameplay?
Naturalist is built to blend in — its animals interact with each other and the world and feel like a natural extension of vanilla rather than a separate system.
