Their main characteristic is that they search for objects and bury them in the sand They are the only animals capable of placing objects back in the suspicious sand These can be retrieved by using the brush on these blocks
At night, meerkats will hide by building burrows or hunt spiders

### Reproduction & Growing Meerkats can reproduce using `SPIDER_EYE` The babies will grow to adulthood in 12,000 ticks (10 minutes) ### NameTag Meerkats will disappear if they don't find a player within 70 blocks (the main reason they leave if placed in Creative mode); to prevent this, you need to place a nametag on them ## Ostrich

Ostriches are wild animals, but they can be tamed if you give them `WHEAT_SEEDS` They tuck their heads in if they feel threatened ### Reproduction & Growing Ostriches can breed with `WHEAT` and will lay an egg Ostriches will fiercely protect their eggs, so they should not be disturbed and after 3,600 ticks (3 minutes) have passed, this egg will hatch, and it will grow back to its adult state in 12,000 ticks (10 minutes) ### Tame & Mounting Tame a ostrich with `WHEAT_SEEDS` A tamed can be ridden using a Saddle on it When ridden, it can move faster than any other animal, but its speed decreases when climbing blocks, so it requires a smooth path to reach its full potential

### NameTag Ostriches will disappear if they don't find a player within 70 blocks (the main reason they leave if placed in Creative mode); to prevent this, you need to place a nametag on them ### Ostrich Boots

With the feathers, you can craft unique boots that give you speed in the arena ## Termites

Termites are creatures that appear near their own nests They are generally hostile toward players and will sometimes retreat to their nests If you attack a nest, all the termites will come out to attack Termites can be caught in a bucket for transport ### Hollow Blocks

Their main behavior is to seek out tree trunks to eat and hollow out

You can place `moss_carpet` on top of the hollow logs, and then you can place `flowers` & `saplings` on top for a nicer decoration.

When termites chew through wood, they may randomly drop sawdust ### Sawdust This item ensures that when a crop is fully grown, interacting with it triggers the double harvest and automatically replants it It can be used in dispensers ### Composter To craft a composter, you need 4 termite nest blocks. Then, place them around a nest and drop, example, 64 oak logs on top of it to feed the termite mound. You can use a bucket to carry them to another location—they won’t attack you. ## Iceologer

This is a mob that appears in frozen mountains or caves; when it sees you, it will summon an ice cube that will head toward the player and then fall

## Frozen Zombie

Frost Zombies are a variant of Zombies found in frozen biomes; when they attack, they inflict a freezing effect and throw snowballs if the target is far away ## Cryoceratops

The Cryoceratops is a peaceful mob found in ice caves. Its crystals glow with brightness, and every so often they “mature.” When they are mature, the player can use a BRUSH to harvest Frozen Crystal Shard without killing it. Additionally, if it has mature crystals, it creates a Glacial Sanctuary: it grants resistance and fire resistance to nearby players, extinguishes fires, and slows down or freezes hostile mobs in the area. If attacked, it releases a cloud of frost to defend itself and flee
