Game logic (C#)
The C# classes this creature's JSON hands its behavior to: its entity class, behaviors and AI tasks. Files link to vssurvivalmod on GitHub; names without a link are implemented in the game engine or VSEssentials, which aren't mapped here.

Where it spawns
Conditions the game checks at a candidate chunk before this creature can appear there. All of them must hold at once -- it's an AND, not an OR.
| Condition | Value | What this means |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature | 28–40°C | Only generates where the chunk's yearly-average temperature is at or above this value (°C). |
| Needs nearby | water-still-7 |
Needs one of these blocks at/adjacent to the spawn position to appear at all (wildcards like tallgrass-* match any grade/variant of that block; "air" means empty space is fine). |
| Spawn group | passive | The spawn-balancing group this creature belongs to (e.g. hostile, neutral, harmless) -- the game caps how many creatures from each group can exist near a player at once. |
| Chance | 0.0001 per attempt | How likely this is attempted at a given candidate location/chunk/attempt, before any global frequency multiplier from world-creation settings. When several entries share the same code (e.g. a structure's small/medium/large size variants), this is actually a relative weight among those siblings rather than an independent probability -- confirmed real game data has values over 1 in exactly that case, so a value like 130 isn't a literal 13000%. |
| Tries per chunk | 0.05 | How many times per chunk the game attempts this placement. Combined with chance, this governs how rare the result actually is in practice -- a high tries-per-chunk with a low chance can still be rarer than a low tries-per-chunk with a higher chance. |
