The deer

The deer is a new mob found in Redwood forests. It is hard to catch due to its speed. It comes in a variety of skin colors like horses do.  When killed, it will drop leather and horns.

    Deer should be an animal that spawns in most biomes, but more frequently in forests and taigas. It makes a lot more sense to hunt for deer than cows and sheep.

    I would love the idea of deer in the game because this would make the forests feel more natural

    I’d like the deer mob to drop its horns, but I feel like it should have a rarity similar to rabbit feet, then maybe it could be used in a potion recipe like for resistance or some effect deer / antler related, like how rabbit feet make jump boost potions.

    I think a better more common drops are raw venison (deer meat) and deer hide, which could craft into leather and/or be used to make a leather adjacent armor set with deer hide and rabbit hide to give a more forestry look and maybe this special armor type when fully applied “masks” your scent allowing the player to walk up to rabbits and deer (not sprint) without scaring those mobs away, making it easier to catch / tame them.
