Tom's Livestock Overhaul

Sheep, Cows, Pigs, Chickens, and Wolves now inherit real genetic coat traits through breeding, spawn according to the climate they live in, and react like actual animals — panicking together when attacked

What's new

Genetics & Breeding

  • Added a full Punnett-square genetic trait system for Sheep, Cows, Pigs, Chickens, and Wolves — each animal carries two hidden alleles, with the visible trait determined by dominance weight
  • Added hand-painted trait skins for all five species (4 Sheep, 8 Chicken, 8 Cow, 6 Pig, and 16 Wolf traits, plus "Default" for each)
  • Wild spawn groups now share a single trait across the whole group, just like a real herd or flock
  • Every trait's dominance weight is configurable

Climate-Based Spawning

  • Wild trait selection is now gated by the real biome temperature at the spawn location (Cold / Temperate / Hot)
  • Breeding is unaffected by climate — offspring can inherit any parental trait regardless of the biome they're born in
  • Climate thresholds and every trait's allowed climate(s) are configurable

Crowding

  • Pigs, Cows, Sheep, and Chickens packed too tightly together (all four species counted together) now take periodic damage with brown particle effects
  • Crowd radius, threshold, damage amount, and damage interval are configurable

Panic Spreading

  • Attacking a Pig, Cow, Sheep, or Chicken now causes nearby animals of the same four species to flee too, not just the one hit
  • Panic radius, flee speed, and flee distance are configurable

Shelter-Seeking

  • Pigs, Cows, Sheep, and Chickens now seek nearby cover (trees, overhangs, roofs) when it's raining or snowing on them
  • Search radius, check interval, and travel speed are configurable
  • Works against vanilla weather; mods with their own localized weather systems (e.g. Simple Clouds) aren't currently supported
