🐑 Natural Reproduction - Autonomous Wild Animal Breeding

"Nature does not wait for player intervention to blossom."

Animals in the wild should not depend solely on players for survival and growth. Natural Reproduction allows all passive mobs in Minecraft to autonomously breed and multiply when environmental conditions are ideal, while rewarding thoughtful pasture management and multi-generational genetics investment.

Part of the Delayed Gratification Collection — mods that reward long-term planning, multi-generational investment, and strategic animal husbandry.

✨ Features

🐾 Universal 25+ Animal Species Support

Autonomous wild breeding and environmental habitat block triggers across cattle, equines, canines, felines, amphibians, aquatic mobs, nether fauna, and wild animals.

📏 Scale-Based Item Drop Yield

Larger animals (up to 1.30x scale) yield bonus item drops on death/harvest, while smaller animals yield reduced drops.

🛑 Cramped Space Penalty vs. Spacious Pasture Recovery

Breeding in cramped 4x4 factory farm pens stunts offspring scale down to 0.25x (yielding minimal drops). Moving animals to open pastures (+30% recovery per generation) restores their genetic size potential!

🧬 Data-Driven Genetics Integration

Powered by DasikAnimalGeneticsAPI and EntityGeneticsRegistry modifying minecraft:scale.

💻 In-Game Command Suite

Comprehensive /naturalreproduction Brigadier command suite with tab completion supporting help, status, get, set, reset, and reload.

⚙️ Configuration (Native Game Rules)

⚠️ Important: Config vs. In-Game GameRules
The global configuration file only defines default values for new worlds at creation time. If you have already created/opened a world, changing the config file will have no effect. You must change the settings in-game using the Edit Game Rules UI screen or the /gamerule command.

No messy config files. Everything lives in the Edit Game Rules screen, YACL v3 config GUI, or via standard commands:

• natural-reproduction:enabled: Master toggle for autonomous wild animal reproduction. (Default: true)
• natural-reproduction:rate: Base probability percentage per tick interval for animal breeding. (Default: 5)
• natural-reproduction:density_cap: Maximum number of same-species animals allowed within spatial check radius. (Default: 8)
• natural-reproduction:scale_drops: Enables scale-based bonus drops on animal harvest/death. (Default: true)
• natural-reproduction:cramped_space_penalty: Enables growth stunting in high-density factory pens. (Default: true)

📋 Requirements

• Fabric Loader >= 0.19.1
• Minecraft 26.2+
• Fabric API
• DasikLibrary >= 1.8.15
