🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this is a framework, look for content packs that specifically require 'Custom Critters' as a dependency—they'll add the actual critters.

If you're a modder, study the mod's assembly or look for community tutorials on creating content packs for this framework.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Spacechase0 is a trusted name in modding—this framework is built by someone who knows what they're doing.
- Huge download count (94k+) means plenty of players are using it, so you'll find support and compatibility patches.
- Opens up endless possibilities for content pack creators to add new critters, making the world feel more alive.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in October 2022—might be outdated if the game has had major updates since then.
- Requires content packs to actually add critters, so on its own it does nothing—you'll need to find compatible packs.
- No documentation or examples provided in the description, so you'll have to dig into the mod's files or community guides to learn how to use it.
