• Follow‑the‑leader behavior: flocks self‑organize into lines.
• Migration bursts: the lead duck occasionally chooses a distant spot and the line ambles over.
• Natural spawns across temperate, taiga, wetlands, rivers, and shores (rarer away from water).
• Tempted with seeds; breeds like chickens.
• Quack, hurt, and death sounds.
• Duck Eggs, Ducks lay eggs periodically.
• Taming & Sitting the lead duck: With food they eat! (Currently only available in a feature/pre-release branch)
• Customizable JSON config, allows users / servers to include more biomes from the game or other mods. ( Currently broken )

• Duck Meat and Cooked Duck foods.
• Duck Feathers for crafting.
• Duck‑feather Arrow variant.
• Foie Gras (late‑game food) with short, meaningful buffs.
