This mod requires Patchouli 1.21.1-92 / 1.20.1-84.1 or higher
Fauna & Orchestra is a Neoforge mod that explores the magic of music: you'll be able to tame some of the 9 new animals and give them instruments so they form a little orchestra with its frog conductor!
The newer update adds story progression as well: you'll be met by a mysterious character that warns you about the dangers of melomancy and asks for your help. By exploring the world you'll meet new characters, improve your melomantic skills (a new form of musical magic), create musical artifacts (like a choreomania bomb) and discover the secrets of this musical world.
The more you delve in melomancy the more branches you'll find, deciding if you want to go for a more dangerous and dark one, a biomantic one or both. The more you progress, the nearer the great finale will be: since you'll have to battle the Great Composer!
The Jazz Band: Find a new structure: The Inn! Many travelers talk about a mysterious jazz band called the Jazzy Dammys who play inside!
Myths System: Their lovely pianist, Dan B., is a well-known myth-collector which will tell you myths around the world with great and mysterious prizes if you complete them!
Animal Costumes: You can now sew costumes and headwear for your orchestra: spice up your musicians with tuxedos, caps, monocles, baseball jackets, and much more!
New Animal: Meet the playful Sea Lions, whose talent with the drums will help you play new music!
New crafting method: In order to bond with all the different animals in the world, you'll have to make Natural Recipes. Get yourself Jars and hang them on Jar Racks over some fuel and watch the different ingredients fuse in a spectacular manner!
Koala Workers: Tired of farming? melomancing? sewing? You can now hire Koala Workers through an... interesting method which will help you with your tasks!
New Sheet Music: There are 10 different songs now!
JEI Compatibility: If you want a faster method of watching all the recipes, both Melomancy and Natural Recipes have JEI-compatibility now!
And much more!
You can also watch the v2.0.0 Trailer here (highly recommended!)
Is it going to be ported to 1.X.X or to Fabric?
The 1.20.1 backport was the exception, since it's still quite a popular modding version. For the time being, I'll keep updating both the 1.21.1 and 1.20.1 Forge/Neoforge versions respectively, since I have no interest currently in Fabric nor newer/older versions. This might change in the future, depending on if there is a new popular modding version. I'd rather spend time implementing new features than spending countless hours learning other versions!
What's coming next?
First of all, I'll backport the new version for the 1.20.1. It will take me a week or two, but it shouldn't be so difficult. After that, I will release a few drops with new myths, new koala workers, new animal variants, etc to spice up these next few months. After that, who knows?
Why so many small updates?
I test the mod thoroughly before releasing it. However, because I know every detail of the code, it's hard for me to catch the small bugs. My only testers are my friends, who report the errors during their playthrough. This is why there have been so many updates. Hopefully, once they finish it, everything will be fixed!
Why is the Mantis so big?
Why not?
I'd also appreciate any sort of criticism. Please share your opinions, suggestions or any bugs that you find.

2.0.13Релиз1.20.1 · 22 июня 2026 г.
While I finish backporting the v3.0.0 update to Forge 1.20.1, I've released this small patch aimed for players using translator mods.
- Fixed:
- The Great Composer now doesn't crash when using auto-translate mods.
- The Discord Nuclei canEquip bug has been fixed
3.0.2Релиз1.21.1 · 17 июня 2026 г.
Having problems with Fauna & Orchestra v3.0.0 not working on multiplayer servers? This update fixes that!
- Fixed:
- The newest update should now work on Multiplayer!
3.0.1Релиз1.21.1 · 15 июня 2026 г.
A small-but-not-really patch update!
- Added:
- If you shift and right click a Worker Koala with Shears you can remove their assigned Kit (if they have one).
- Fixed
- The Fake Denim advancement has been fixed.
- The Natural Recipes cooking times and Mailbird sending time have been updated to their actual times. The ones in the v3.0.0 update were the testing ones which I forgot to change for the release (sorry!)
- Important: The following blocks have had their internal logic changed for better game performance. For that reason, their data and state will be reset after the update. My advice is to save or finish whatever you're doing before updating!
- Tip Case (the tip count)
- Mailbox (the bird being away)
- Listener and Listener Container (the droplet count)
- Discorded Flower (the hunger)
- Flora Enhancer (the humidity)
- Discord Nuclei (the essence and instability)
- If any of these blocks have strange behaviors after being reset, the simplest solution is to break and place them again. Any problem should be solved!
