SBC FluidCows

SBC_FluidCows 1.0.7

This update is a large-pack stability and breeding polish release for SBC_FluidCows. Auto-breeding has been rebuilt to work safely in big modpacks by importing only supported Productive Metalworks fluid alloying recipes instead of scanning every recipe from every mod.

Productive Metalworks Auto-Breeding

• Auto-breeding is back with a safer, pack-friendly importer.
• The importer only reads productivemetalworks:fluid_alloying recipes from Productive Metalworks' alloying recipe folder.
• Generated alloy cow breeding rules now come from Productive Metalworks fluid alloy recipes such as brass, bronze, steel, electrum, and invar.
• General recipe scanning has been removed, so unrelated crafting, smelting, machine, and datapack recipes are no longer touched.
• Ender IO alloy smelter recipes and other non-Productive Metalworks alloy systems are intentionally ignored.

Large Pack Stability

• Fixed crashes caused by unusual recipes returning missing, empty, or null outputs during reload.
• Auto-breeding now validates every recipe before writing anything to config.
• Recipes with missing fluids, invalid fluids, duplicate parents, missing cow configs, or unsupported layouts are skipped safely.
• Recipes with more than two fluid inputs are skipped because fluid cow breeding currently uses two parents.
• Compatibility recipes that output non-Productive Metalworks fluids are skipped to avoid creating confusing cross-mod breeding rules.

Configuration

• Added an [auto_breeding] section to main_config.toml.
• enabled controls whether the Productive Metalworks importer can run.
• run_on_reload controls whether auto-breeding runs during datapack/config reloads.
• overwrite_manual_recipes is disabled by default so hand-edited breeding rules are protected.
• default_breeding_item controls the item used for imported breeding rules.
• default_chance controls the success chance used for imported breeding rules.

Breeding Rules

• Imported rules are written only when a cow's breeding recipe is empty or was previously auto-generated.
• Auto-generated rules are marked with auto_generated so future reloads can safely update them.
• Imported rules include a source_recipe entry so pack makers can see which Productive Metalworks recipe created them.
• Manual parent choices, breeding items, and chances are preserved unless manual overwrites are explicitly enabled.

Bred Cow Genetics

• Added productive traits that can appear on cows born from breeding.
• High-Yield cows produce more fluid in Cow Stalls.
• Fast-Lactating cows have shorter milking cooldowns.
• Fertile cows have shorter breeding cooldowns.
• Traits are preserved through cow items, the Cow Snatcher, Cow Stalls, saving, loading, Jade, and tooltips.
• Natural cows and spawn egg cows stay plain by default.

Fluid Cow Drops

• Fluid cows now use a proper entity loot table.
• Fluid cows can drop leather and beef at vanilla cow rates.
• Looting and cooked beef behavior now match vanilla cows.

Fixes and Polish

• Improved reload behavior for generated fluid cow configs.
• Reduced the chance of one broken modpack recipe breaking Fluid Cows startup or world selection.
• Kept the existing per-fluid JSON breeding system so pack makers can still customize individual cows.
• Updated the changelog and version metadata for the fixed 1.0.7 release.

Useful Commands

• /sbc_fluidcows reload reloads configs and applies supported Productive Metalworks auto-breeding rules.
• /sbc_fluidcows regen generates missing fluid configs, then reloads the mod.
• /sbc_fluidcows debug spawning explains whether fluid cows can spawn at your current location.
• /sbc_fluidcows debug validate checks enabled fluid cow configs for registry or display issues.
• /sbc_fluidcows debug problematic lists enabled fluids that may need pack-maker attention.
