Cattlestrophic!

# Cattlestrophic! This mod adds animal survival mechanics to Minecraft, making animals die from hunger and old age. Cattlestrophic! is designed to be fun and challenging in both singleplayer and multiplayer. The total configurability of this mod lets you create a custom animal system, where you can set every aspect of Vanilla animals and include modded animals. You can set every aspect of the mod through the config system. For support and information about updates and new features, join our Discord!

Breeding animals will result in domesticated animals. While all animals are affected by age, domesticated ones will also die from hunger if they are not fed, anyway domesticated animals will live longer than wild animals and will also have some differences in their behavior. Age and hunger time mechanics can be configured through `agingRateInTicks` and `hungerDepletionRateInTicks`, while `wildMaxAge` and `domesticatedMaxAge` control the maximum age of animals. 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. This can be disabled through the config `preventLeashingWildAnimals`. #### Reduced Loot Drops Wild animals drop fewer items when killed compared to their domesticated counterparts, instead domesticated animals will have a bonus to their loot drops. This can be modified through the config `wildAnimalLootPenaltyMultiplier` and `domesticatedAnimalLootBonusMultiplier`. #### Lower Breeding Chance Wild animals have a lower chance of successfully breeding, controlled by the `wildAnimalBreedChance` configuration setting. #### Extended Breeding Cooldown Wild animals have an extended breeding cooldown period after breeding, controlled by the `wildBreedingExtraCooldownTicks` 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 placing a Feeding Trough nearby. Feeding troughs can be stocked with generic food items and will replenish the animal's hunger over time. The feeding trough features can be modified through the config `feedingTroughRange`, `feedingAmount` and `maxAnimalsPerTrough`. ### 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. ## Configurations This mod is completely configurable. ### Parameters * `enableMod`: Enable or disable the mod * `enableAnimalSettings`: Enable or disable animal settings * `hungerDepletionRate`: Hunger depletion rate in ticks * `agingRate`: Aging rate in ticks * `showHungerIndicators`: Show hunger indicators * `showAgeIndicators`: Show age indicators * `feedingTroughRange`: Feeding trough range in blocks * `feedingAmount`: Feeding amount each time the animal is fed by the trough * `maxAnimalsPerTrough`: Maximum number of animals that can be fed by a trough * `breedingCooldownTicks`: Breeding cooldown in ticks * `growthTimeTicks`: Growth time in ticks * `wildMaxAge`: Wild age limit (duration in time will depend on aging rate) * `domesticatedMaxAge`: Domesticated age limit (duration in time will depend on aging rate) * `preventLeashingWildAnimals`: Prevent leashing of wild animals * `wildAnimalBreedChance`: Chance for wild animals to successfully breed (0.0-1.0) * `wildBreedingExtraCooldownTicks`: Additional breeding cooldown ticks for wild animals * `wildAnimalLootPenaltyMultiplier`: Multiplier for loot dropped by wild animals (0.0-1.0) * `domesticatedAnimalLootBonusMultiplier`: Multiplier for loot dropped by domesticated animals (1.0+) ### Animal Settings The animal affected by the mod can be configurated through the animal settings system. If the `enableAnimalSettings` parameter is set to `false`, the animal settings system will be disabled, and the mod will always use the default animal settings (only affecting most vanilla animals). In the config folder, you can find the `cattlestrophic_animal_settings` folder containing the default animal settings for Minecraft animals affected by the mod. If you want to add new animal to the settings, you need to create (or copy) a new json file in the appropriate folder (the `minecraft` folder for Vanilla animals) and place it in the
