In this update, I had the help of Holly to make me some of the models. She is a very talented modeler and she even made her own Pikmin mod for version 1.16, which some of you guys were asking for so I will leave a link to her mod as well:

About this Mod

Ever wanted to fight Mobs with an army of cute little people? Probably not... but here is a mod that lets you do that anyways. Besides, you never know what you want until it is shown to you.

This is a fan-made mod based on the Nintendo video game series, Pikmin. In this mod, I hope to recreate the general feel of playing Pikmin in Minecraft to hopefully introduce more people into this criminally under-rated franchise. You will be able to call, throw and cling Pikmin onto enemies like in the real game. Currently, this mod contains the four basic Pikmin types: red, yellow, blue, and purple; each having different abilities that will be useful in different situations and circumstances you will encounter in the world of Minecraft. Future versions will add more enemies and Pikmin from the franchise.

Acknowledgments

First and foremost, I would like to thank Blue Commander for creating the Player Head Tricks data pack, the code of which I used to automatically tame Pikmin to their owners (the nearest player when they spawn). Without his work, this mod would not have been possible. The link to his YouTube account and the data pack are listed here:

Secondly, I acknowledge that I am not the first to make a Pikmin mod and that there have been other Pikmin Minecraft mods created before. However, I do declare that I have not used any of their code or assets in the creation of this mod; I just wanted to acknowledge them out of courtesy. The links to the two other Pikmin mods are found here:
