Should the snails grow up on their own to large state? I see many snails that are full grown wandering about, I thought they needed to be cared for to grow large?

No natural snail spawns. Spawn eggs working, snails spawned from spawn eggs work. Used teleport commands to check multiples of each biome listed as a spawn area. Running mod version 1.0.3 in MC 1.17.1 with Fabric 0.11.6 and the following mods: Arcanus, More Axolotl Variants, Expanded Storage, AppleSkin, Architectury API (Fabric), Artisanat, Axolotl Bucket Fix, Cloth Config API (Fabric), Comforts (Fabric), Companion bats, Complete Bone Meal, Dawn API, Fabric API, Gecko Lib, Infinity Fix, Lapis Reserve, Linked Storage, Mythic Mounts, Nature's Compass, Rat's Mischief 🐀, REI, Slimy Floor, Terralith ~ Overworld Evolved, When Dungeons Arise.

Not entirely sure why but i live on a Mushroom islands, Snails spawn there pretty much ok, but every single tamed snail i had so far has despawned/dissapeared somehow. Do they die if not fed or is this an actual issue? (Mod is part of All of Fabric 5)

This PR adds multiple snail types! The code is essentially copied from Vanilla's cat variants. To add a new snail type, the texture should be added to assets/lovely_snails/textures/entity/snail, and an entry that matches the filename should be added to the SNAIL_TYPE enum. Feel free to change, add to, or remove any of the textures that I've included, they're just some basic colour variations that I (and my girlfriend) liked. There's also a special "Moon Snail" that only spawns in full moons (like black cats), making it somewhat rarer. I included this mostly to demonstrate how other special snails could be added - perhaps nether snails might be an idea?

Here are all the new variants that I've included:

No snails were harmed in the making of this commit.

omg they're so cute best mod ever

I thought it would be cool to have new variant of snail living in this... otherwise pretty dead environment. I mean... literally dead, there are just Skeletons and Ghasts everywhere.

How could this one be different from Overworld variant?

• While snail wouldn't be probably too fast, it could be not slowed down by Soul Sands and perhaps it could be a bit faster on soul blocks. Combine this with massive storage capacity and the fact that you travel in Nether much faster than in Overworld, you got a really nice, tho quite slow mount.
• New variant of Shell being made out of Skull. Not only that would look absolutely amazing, but perhaps you could farm Snails for those skulls? Skulls would be basically building blocks you could turn into light sources by putting a torch inside of it (like Pumpkins) or could alternatively crush into bonemeal in a pinch,
• While it could still accept mushrooms (as you can still find those growing in Nether), instead of grass or kelp this new variant would feed on Crimson and Warped Fungus, Roots or Blocks... or respective types of vines or even Shroomlight! Those blocks are generated in large amounts after a session of harvesting Nether Wood/Fungi, so they shouldn't be too difficult to find.
• Another farmable Nether mob could be really cool. At the moment we only have like... Hoglins and Striders.

What do you think of the idea?
