Animalica Core is a Vintage Story mod by Craditz. Animalica Core is a shared framework for Animalica player models, providing common traits, diets, sizes, actions, and first-person support.
Why this mod is worth installing
This library is needed by Animalica player-model content that relies on its shared gameplay systems. It is mainly useful when you want those models to behave consistently in Vintage Story.
What Animalica Core adds
Animalica Core acts as a dependency rather than a standalone content pack. It gathers shared rules for animal-like player models, including traits, body sizing, diets, and available actions.
The framework also handles first-person presentation, helping supported Animalica models remain usable while playing from the character’s own viewpoint. Its purpose is to give related models one consistent gameplay foundation instead of repeating these systems in every add-on.
