🛠️ Features 🛠️

🧩 Compatability 🧩

Will's "Hedgehogs!" functions with addons like Just Enough Items and with animal expansions like Critters and Companions and Naturalist.
Currently "Hedgehogs!" does not work with Shaders. Oculus and Sodium shader forks cause Error 1 on startup. This is due to shaders changing how models are rendered. These alterations to Minecraft's rendering cause hedgehog animations to not play properly and equipment models to display improperly. While the mod is functional with optifine, it is highly reccomended you enjoy the mod experience without shaders.
