Better Breeding - Enhanced Animal Breeding System

This mod fundamentally changes animal breeding mechanics, rewarding players for creating comfortable environments for their pets and preventing overcrowding in confined spaces.

Key Breeding Changes

Feeding an animal now activates its ability to breed but doesn't result in immediate offspring. Young animals are naturally ready for breeding and don't require additional feeding.

Animals will independently engage in the breeding process when all necessary conditions are met. By default, this occurs approximately every 15 minutes, but this interval can be adjusted in the mod settings. The system automatically prevents overpopulation by limiting breeding when there are too many animals nearby.

Requirements for Successful Breeding

For breeding to occur, animals must stand on suitable surfaces: grass, snow, moss, podzol, mycelium, or hay. They also need direct access to the sky and sufficient surrounding space - overcrowding hinders the natural process.

Breeding Management

To temporarily disable an animal's breeding ability, use shears (left-click). This procedure is completely safe for the pet. You can restore reproductive function at any time by simply feeding the animal again.

The mod works with all breedable animals except cats, wolves, axolotls, and turtles.
