Cattlestrophic!

This mod adds animal survival mechanics to Minecraft, making animals die from hunger and old age. Using this mod you can breed animals to make them domesticated and feed them to keep them alive. The configurability of this mod lets you create a custom animal system, where you can set every aspect of the mod and Vanilla (breeding cooldown and growth time) of every animal through the animal settings.

Wild vs. Domesticated Animals

Every animal has a wild or domesticated state. Breeding wild animals will result in domesticated animals.

Wild Animal Restrictions

Wild animals have several restrictions and penalties compared to domesticated animals:

Lead Restriction

Wild animals cannot be leashed. You must first domesticate them through breeding.

Reduced Loot Drops

Wild animals drop fewer items when killed compared to their domesticated counterparts. The reduction is controlled by the wildAnimalLootPenaltyMultiplier configuration setting.

Lower Breeding Chance

Wild animals have a lower chance of successfully breeding. The chance is controlled by the wildAnimalBreedChance configuration setting.

Extended Breeding Cooldown

Wild animals have an extended breeding cooldown period after breeding. The additional delay is controlled by the wildBreedingExtraDelayTicks configuration setting.

Feeding Mechanics

Domesticated animals will die from starvation if they don't get fed.

Animals can be fed by right-clicking them with Animal Feed item or by using a Feeding Trough. Feeding troughs can be stocked with generic food items and will replenish the animal's hunger.

Age Limits

Every animal has a maximum age. Wild animals will die from old age, domesticated animals will live longer.

Inspection Tool

The inspection tool can be used to check the animal's age and hunger level. The inspection tool can be found in the creative inventory.

Age and Hunger Visualization System

Animal's age and hunger level are shown through different particle effects. Animals will start showing these effects when they are close to their maximum age (over 75% and 90%) or minimum hunger (below 20%) level.

Visual Indicators

• Hunger: angry villagers
• Age: mycelium and soul particles
