Sonorama - Desert Fauna Richness in Minecraft

The Sonorama mod for Minecraft 1.16.5 presents an amazing diversity of wildlife from the arid regions of North America. You have access to over 70 animal species characteristic of the Sonoran, Mojave, and Chihuahuan deserts.

Although animals and plants spawn in survival mode, the developers' main focus was on creative building. The mod is perfect for creating realistic desert landscapes and ecosystems.
