Please read warning below!!
This is a major update and your old animals may change color, pattern, or may not work correctly mechanically if not prepared correctly. I’ve written some steps below to follow in the case of updating from 2.7-.
Here are some things you can do while updating to minimize loss if you want to update a pre-2.8 LO world:
-Take all items out of your o-animals’ chests/ saddlebags
-Turn on the Failsafe Replacer and turn off all animals replacers to have it replace O-Animals with vanilla animals.
-Backup your save/ server before updating
-After updating, delete your old livestock common config to generate a fresh one.
*These steps will not preserve any colors, breeds or markings, but will preserve the animal itself so you don’t have to cull & respawn it.
