BredExempt stops that.** In vanilla Minecraft, every animal you **breed** — and every chick you **hatch from a thrown egg** — counts toward the **passive mob cap**. Pack a pen with cows, sheep, pigs, or chickens and you push the loaded area toward its cap: fewer animals spawn in the wild around you, and your farm slowly chokes natural spawning. ## What it does - When two animals **breed**, it marks the **newborn and both parents** as persistent. - When a chick **hatches from a thrown egg**, it marks the **chick** as persistent too. Persistent mobs are skipped by the natural-spawn cap count — so your breeding *and* egg farms stop consuming the passive-creature cap, leaving that room for naturally spawning wildlife. ## Commands & config - `/bredexempt inspect` — look at an animal: marked or not, why, and whether it still counts toward the cap. Click the output to copy it. - `/bredexempt cap` — live cap accounting for your dimension: counted vs cap, exempt vs wild. - Optional `config/bredexempt.properties` — toggles for offspring / parents / egg-hatched chicks, plus an entity allowlist/denylist. Zero config needed by default. - Modpacks can use the `#bredexempt:allowed` / `#bredexempt:denied` entity tags instead — a plain datapack, no config edits. ## Modded animals Modded animals are marked exactly like vanilla ones **when their mod uses Minecraft's standard `Animal` breeding flow** — many vanilla-style farm/wildlife mods do. Modded wildlife gains spawn room when it spawns through the vanilla natural-spawning system in the standard creature category. Mods with **custom breeding systems, custom spawners, custom mob caps, or custom egg/hatching mechanics** may not be covered — if you find one, open an issue and dedicated support can be looked at. ## Server support Relies on vanilla's persistent-mob cap exemption. **Quilt** runs the Fabric jar, but needs **Quilt Loader 0.30.0 or newer**. Quilt may offer an older loader for 1.21.11; that one fails to start with a missing-`fabricloader` error.
