Respawnable Animals brings Bedrock Edition style animal spawning to Java Edition. Instead of animals existing forever after world generation, they can naturally disappear when far away and repopulate areas around active players, just like passive mobs do in Bedrock Edition. 🐄

This keeps the world feeling alive and prevents regions from becoming permanently depleted of animals after exploration or hunting. Whether you're gathering resources, breeding livestock, or simply traveling, wildlife can naturally return over time. 🌿

Animals that players care about remain protected. Tamed, bred, named, ridden, and other player associated animals stay where they belong, ensuring pets and livestock are never lost. 🐕

  • 🔄 Bedrock Edition Parity: Brings Java Edition animal spawning behavior closer to Bedrock Edition.
  • 🌎 Naturally Respawning Animals: Wild animals can despawn when far away and repopulate areas around players over time.
  • 🌿 No Permanent Depletion: Hunting or clearing animals from an area no longer leaves it permanently empty.
  • 🏗️ Supports Renewable Animal Populations: Creates consistent spawning behavior that can enable new farming and automation possibilities.
  • 🐕 Protects Player Animals: Tamed, bred, named, ridden, and other interacted with animals automatically become permanent.
  • ⚙️ Simple World Configuration: Adjust spawning behavior through a small set of world specific game rules.
