Bird Feeder

Put out seed, water, and a little patience — and let your world fill with birds.

Summary

Place a bird feeder and a bird bath, fill them, and wild birds drop by to feed, sip, and bathe. Purely cozy — no farming, just a world that feels alive.

Description

Real life has a simple joy: you hang a feeder, and birds you'd never otherwise see come by to visit. Bird Feeder brings that to Minecraft.

Place a Bird Feeder and a Bird Bath, keep them stocked, and wild flyers will drift in on their own — land, feed or splash for a few seconds, and go on their way. Nothing is bred. Nothing is farmed. There's no counter to optimise. It's just a quiet bit of life that makes a base, a garden, or a porch feel lived-in.

What you get

• 🪶 A bird feeder you mount like a bell — stand it on the ground, bracket it to a wall, or hang it under a tree branch. It even drops if you break what's holding it.
• 🌻 Different food brings different visitors. Load it and watch who shows up:
  • Seeds → parrots
  • Flowers (any kind) → bees
  • Amethyst shards → allays
  • The tray even changes colour to match what's inside.
  • 💧 A bird bath that birds sip and splash in. Fill it with a water bucket — or just let the rain top it up.
  • 🕊️ Calm, random visits. Birds come every so often, not in a swarm. It's ambience, not a spectacle.
  • 🪣 Hopper-friendly — pipe seed straight into the feeder, composter-style fill stages and all.

Crafting

Both blocks craft from cheap, early-game materials.

Bird Feeder

Three planks (any wood) over two sticks — a little house on a post.

Bird Bath

Five stone, basin-shaped.

Works with your other mods

Visitors are driven by a simple tag (#birdfeeder:visitors). Run a mod that adds birds? Drop its entity into that tag (or it does it itself) and those birds start visiting too — no hard dependency either way.
