Have you ever looked at a mob and thought, "Why doesn't that have a baby version?"
Well, with Babies Galore, now it does! 🎉
This data pack turns almost every vanilla mob that doesn't already have a baby variant into one that can — no resource pack needed! From Creepers to Witches, Guardians to Phantoms (and even hidden mobs like Illusioners and Giants) — if it's not supposed to have a baby… now it does!
✨ Features
- Adds baby versions for nearly every vanilla mob that lacks one!
- Each mob has a 1 in 20 chance to spawn as a baby.
- Babies are half the size of their adult counterparts.
- They move with a 30% speed boost — just like baby zombies!
- Works seamlessly in survival and multiplayer worlds.
- No resource pack required — all pure vanilla mechanics.
🧩 Compatibility & Customisation
Don't see a mob you expected? Or want to add your own modded mobs? No worries — it's fully customisable! You can easily add your own mobs by editing one simple file.
How to add your own baby mobs
Extract it and open: data/babies_galore/tags/entity_type/
Open babies.json.
On the last line (currently "minecraft:wither_skeleton"), add a comma and a new line.
Add your new mob in quotes — formatted as namespace:mob_id (e.g. betternether:hydrogen_jellyfish).
Repeat for as many mobs as you like — just remember commas between entries!
Save the file and reload your world. Done! 🎈
