Bait
Ex Compressum adds a bunch of Baits that can each be placed to force an animal spawn, as long as some environmental conditions are fulfilled.

Spawn Conditions
For a bait to result in an animal spawn, a few conditions must be fulfilled. You can see whether your environment is suitable by right-clicking the bait.
Baits that are ready to spawn an animal will also have smoke particles going off from them.
Even once the conditions are fulfilled, it can take anywhere up to three minutes (or longer if you're really unlucky) for the spawn to occur.
- At least 10 blocks from the animal's home environment must be in the area around the bait
- At least one water block must be nearby
- There must not be more than 2 baits nearby
- There must not be more than 2 animals nearby
- There must be no player within 6 blocks when the bait tries to spawn the animal
