26.3 Autumn Drop - Add the Brown Bear

For the third drop of 2026, I would love to see a new mob complete the Dappled Forest experience. I believe the Brown Bear would be perfect for this. It would have similar behaviour to the Polar Bear, but could also have unique interactions with beehives. Unlike the Polar Bear, it would be breedable using honeycomb. It would spawn primarily if not exclusively in the Dappled Forest biome. This would also be a good opportunity to revisit and update the Polar Bear model and textures to more closely align with modern design philosophies.

  So glad the poplar trees are tall enough to support a bear's large hitbox! I was so against it before since they would have gotten stuck so easily in a normal forest unless they were in an old growth spruce/pines taiga, which deserve a black bear. Also, I'm surprised bee nests aren't already in the dappled forest.
