Little Birdhouse

Little Birdhouse

Bring a little more life to your Minecraft world with Little Birdhouse, a vanilla-style NeoForge mod featuring small wooden birdhouses, lively songbirds, and shallow nests tucked among the trees.
Place a birdhouse on a solid block and add a seed. After about two in-game minutes, tiny birds begin to visit. Watch five colorful variants perch by the entrance, chirp, fly to nearby grass and leaves, and return with small woodland finds.
Craft a low-profile nest from eight sticks in a ring, leaving the center empty. Wild nests also appear rarely in newly generated Overworld chunks, with a higher chance in forests. Look for them on leaf canopies or on the ground beneath leaves. Each nest shelters two birds that fly out to nearby grass and foliage by day and return to rest. Nests are decorative and cannot be opened.

Features
A compact, pixel-art birdhouse that fits within one block.
A 27-slot birdhouse inventory; add one seed and wait for birds to settle in.
Five tiny bird color variants with chirping, perching, and foraging behavior.
Birds forage on nearby leaves and grass, then return with sticks, crop seeds, carrots, potatoes, cocoa beans, apples, sweet berries, and occasional torchflower seeds or pitcher pods.
No ore or gem loot.
A small craftable nest with two resident birds and rare forest-weighted Overworld generation.
Vanilla-style pixel textures and editable Blockbench models.

Birdhouse — Planks in the left and right columns, wooden slabs in the top-center and bottom-center slots, and a stick in the center.
