In a post on Reddit, a user known as PolygonalTriesToHard shared a video from a recent project they had worked on in Minecraft. However, this was no ordinary project. Instead, the Reddit user revealed that they had successfully added penguins into the game using a resource pack they had created. In the video, the creator used an egg to spawn a penguin on the ground. The small flightless bird featured a cute design, as it had black and white feathers and a yellow beak. In addition, the blocky build of the mob fitted perfectly into the voxel art style of the world. Besides spawning the tiny penguin in the ice biome, the creator revealed that it could waddle.

In addition to showing off the penguin in a video, PolygonalTriesToHard shared more details about the resource packs in the Reddit comments. According to the creator, they came up with the idea to add penguins to Minecraft because they liked the concept of biome-dependent mobs and believed the game needed more of them. In addition, they noted that Complementary Shaders were used in the video to enhance the look of the mob. Furthermore, while working on the project, they revealed one of the most challenging aspects was getting the penguins to spawn only in cold biomes.
Unsurprisingly, numerous members of the Minecraft community took notice of this impressive penguin resource pack made by PolygonalTriesToHard. With over 800 upvotes in less than a day, many found the design of the mob to be adorable. Specifically, some pointed out that they loved the waddle animation for the creature. “This is literally the most adorable thing ever!” one user said. In addition, some fans wished that the developers at Mojang would decide to add penguins to the unmodded version of Minecraft, as they believed that the cold biomes felt barren.
This is just one of many incredible projects players have recently completed in the game. Besides this penguin resource pack, another fan made a giant creepy hand in Minecraft. As gamers continue to play the title in the months ahead, it will be interesting to see what other creations are made next. If this resource pack from PolygonalTriesToHard is anything to go off of, they are likely to be impressive.
Minecraft is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and legacy platforms.
