About Alex's Mobs
Alex’s Mobs fills the world with wildlife: elephants, crocodiles, gorillas, mimic octopuses and stranger creatures. Each animal has its own animations, behaviour and useful drops.
It is a popular choice for adventure and survival packs because it makes exploring biomes feel different.
