The variants.

Each variant has its own model, texture and biomes. Click one to show it on the plinth.

Add hippos to your Minecraft server.

Hippos come to your server in three variants: Common Hippopotamus, Pygmy Hippopotamus and Pink Hippopotamus. They spawn on their own in the savanna, savanna plateau and mangrove swamp, and their young grow into adults.

In total, 45 animations bring them to life in game. The pack also adds four items, such as “Hippo Hide” or “Weighted Boots”, with recipes for ItemsAdder, Oraxen, Nexo or MythicCrucible. Everything runs with ModelEngine and MythicMobs on Paper, from 1.21.4 to 26.3.
