Femboy Mod 0.3.0: ears that hear, socks that slide, cats that push

0.3.0 is out for Minecraft 26.3, 1.21.1 and 1.20.1. Install it on the client and the server at once: old and new versions do not talk to each other.

Ears and tails react

Ears now turn toward mobs they hear, stand up when alert, flatten at a hissing creeper or when you get hurt, fold under water and droop at low health or in bed. The Tail puffs up when startled, wags near your pet and after a headpat, and twitches after a Byte Energy. Other players see it.

Each kind hears differently. Cat Ears catch creepers first and from furthest (24 blocks, 16 for everything else), Wolf Ears do the same for skeletons, Bunny Ears hear from 20 blocks but react to every mob, Fox Ears hear 10 blocks by day and 20 at night, Bear Ears never flatten. In first person the ear tips peek in at the top of the screen on the side of the sound.

Two client options switch it off: "Reactive ears and tails" and "Ear tips in first person".

Socks slide

In Programming Socks or Fishnet Tights without shoes you slide on planks, polished stone, quartz, concrete and glazed terracotta. Sneaking, carpets and rugs grip. Sock Goblins slide too, so they are easier to catch indoors. Details: sock sliding.

Cats, catnip, a flytrap

While you watch, a cat may walk up to a flower pot, candle, plushie, Rubber Duck or Lava Lamp at a table edge, stare at you and push it off. Nothing breaks. The game rule femboymod:cat_mischief turns it off.

Catnip grows in plains and meadows and sends cats through zoomies, mischief and purring; it also tames a Stray Cat half the time. The Debug Flytrap grows in swamps and eats Bugs, silverfish and endermites. See cats and catnip.

Touch grass

After two hours of play you get a quiet reminder in chat. Right-click grass or the new Potted Grass with an empty hand for 10 seconds of Regeneration. The config key plants.touch_grass_reminder_minutes sets the time; 0 turns it off.

Headpat consent

"Headpats from players" in the settings: everyone, teammates or nobody. Whoever you turn away sees a short note. Pets still accept headpats.

Photos have a limit

The server now keeps at most 64 pictures per player and 2048 in total. Past that, the picture nobody has looked at for the longest fades; the item stays, blank. Photos printed before the update count toward the total. More on the Photo Mode page.

Multiplayer and PvP

• Other players no longer receive what is inside your worn backpack.
• Outfit changes made in one tick go out as one update with one equip sound.
• Hidden armor shows to everyone while you fight another player and for 10 seconds after.
• Mirrors no longer show players behind walls.
• Heart Glasses show players outside your team only while you can see them. Teammates still glow through walls.
• The server's settings now reach clients: if the server turns set bonuses off, glowing mobs, set sounds and the HUD tier follow.
• Presets obey the same rules as dressing by hand.
• Cosmetics drop together with the rest of your loot, so grave mods on NeoForge and Forge collect them. A death cancelled by a revive mod no longer drops your outfit.

Smaller fixes

• The settings screen scrolls, so the last options and Done are no longer cut off on small windows.
• More than 64 photos in view no longer makes the client ask for them over and over.
• The headpat cooldown no longer carries over between singleplayer worlds.
• NeoForge and Forge: the Lookbook collection and Style Points no longer look empty after a portal.

Only on 1.21.1 and 1.20.1

• Ores, rose quartz buds and the Neon Sign plate were black around their see-through parts.
• 1.20.1 dedicated servers disconnected players right after joining with "Missing tag … femboymod:bugs".
• 1.20.1 Fabric: a player who walked back into view had no cosmetics until they changed something.
