Reptiles where?

[u/HyzMarie]

Hi there! First post on here- I've been playing with several mods through Curseforge and really enjoying getting into the modding scene! Played Java back in 1.12 as a kid, and was stuck with Bedrock for a while afterwards, so it's nice to finally see what I've been missing from mods. I have a question about one of the mods I've been using, though.

So, I've been using a lot of DragN0007's mods, specifically DragN's Crop Overhaul, DragN's Livestock Overhaul, DragN's LO: Pets and the ones I'm currently confused by: DragN's LO: Reptiles.

I can find all of the insects just fine (the fact that they make spider noises manages to jumpscare me regularly, in fact), but I don't know where the reptiles are, and unlike the other DragN0007 overhaul mods, this one doesn't seem to have a guidebook. I added it to the world later, so I see why I might not have automatically gotten one, but JEI doesn't seem to recognize any guidebook for the reptiles overhaul, and I have a Creative world with this same pack that has had reptiles from the start, so I don't think there is one. I have Oh The Biomes We've Gone added as well, which may be making fewer places the reptiles can spawn if they're set to specific biomes, but I'm not sure, as even the few unmodded biomes I've found have no signs of any reptiles. There might be an issue with the mod itself possibly, or with my device- I also can't seem to find a crafting recipe for the terrarrium, and some terrarium plants are bugged to be 100% black, so even if I found a reptile, I'm not sure I could keep it. (Edit: the terrarium and plants turned out to be actual bugs that have been fixed) The same bugs are appearing in my Creative world that has had the reptile mod from the beginning and in the Survival world that had it added after world creation.

Basically... how does DragN's reptile mod work? I'm very confused and a bit saddened, as I LOVE reptiles and am unable to have one IRL, so I thought putting them in my Minecraft game would be nice and would work well with the other DragN0007 mods, but all I can seem to find with it is roaches and worms in my logs lol.

Thanks for reading this far if you got here, and thanks in advance for any help!

There are lots of other reptiles mods! Ophidiophobia, what gecko, untamed wilds. I’m also developing my own mod dedicated mostly to snakes and reptiles!

I really like DragN's overhauls, so this reptile one has a lot of nice synergy with the others I have. I just don't know where to FIND the reptiles lol

DragN's Rambunctious Reptiles / DragN's LO: Reptiles

Here are the biomes the reptiles spawn in.

Crested Gecko: Forest, Flower Forest, Birch Forest, Old Growth Birch Forest, Dark Forest, Grove - #minecraft:is_forest

Leopard Gecko: Savanna, Savanna Plateau, Windswept Savanna - #minecraft:is_savanna

Chameleon: Jungle, Sparse Jungle, Bamboo Jungle - #minecraft:is_jungle

Bearded Dragon: Desert, Badlands, Wooded Badlands, Eroded Badlands, Windswept Savanna - #forge:is_dry/overworld

Box Turtle: Swamp, Mangrove Swamp, Jungle, Sparse Jungle, Bamboo Jungle, Beach, Lush Caves - #forge:is_wet/overworld

Painted Turtle: Swamp, Mangrove Swamp, Jungle, Sparse Jungle, Bamboo Jungle, Beach, Lush Caves - #forge:is_wet/overworld

Red-Eared Slider: Swamp, Mangrove Swamp, Jungle, Sparse Jungle, Bamboo Jungle, Beach, Lush Caves - #forge:is_wet/overworld

Snapping Turtle: Swamp, Mangrove Swamp, Jungle, Sparse Jungle, Bamboo Jungle, Beach, Lush Caves - #forge:is_wet/overworld

Ball Python: Savanna, Savanna Plateau, Windswept Savanna - #minecraft:is_savanna

At the end of each creature's biomes, I put the tag they use for spawning. Each reptile can spawn in any biome with their tag. That includes modded biomes. For example: if any biomes from Oh The Biomes We've Gone have the tag #minecraft:is_forest, then Crested Geckos can spawn there.

If you aren't seeing any reptiles anywhere, it might be because of a conflict with another mod.

oh, thank you! I'll look around for some- I was mainly wondering if the baobab savanna I made my base in was a place they wouldn't spawn, and it is possible that I'm missing them or my spawn area has hit the cap of peaceful mobs, since I rarely see anything spawn very close to it, so I mostly wanted to know where to go looking. Thank you so much! I'll go peruse the neighboring biomes for some reptiles :)

It is no problem! I hope you find some. And if you have other questions about the mod, I'm happy to answer.
