AgriCraft - Genetic Plant Breeding

AgriCraft is a modification that introduces a plant breeding system into Minecraft. You can not only improve the characteristics of existing crops but also create completely new species through cross-breeding.

Genetic System

The mod uses Mendelian genetics - each crop has a unique genome consisting of allele pairs. One allele usually dominates over the other, determining the plant's visible characteristics.

For example, for gene "A" with dominant allele A and recessive a:

Gene pair A-A: both dominant, trait A manifests
Gene pair A-a: A dominates, trait A manifests
Gene pair a-a: both recessive, trait a manifests

Plant Characteristics

AgriCraft includes 6 main characteristics:

• Growth: affects plant maturation speed
• Yield: determines the number of fruits per plant
• Strength: influences growing conditions
• Resistance: protects against weeds
• Fertility: increases chance of participation in cross-breeding
• Mutativity: enhances probability of positive mutations

Weeds and Growing Requirements

Weeds now compete with cultivated plants for resources, slowing their growth. If weeds are allowed to mature, they can destroy the plant and spread to neighboring crops.

Plants have specific requirements for soil, seasons, fluids, and lighting. Some crops prefer moist soils, others - nutrient-poor soils. Seasonal mods are also taken into account - plants grow only during suitable times of the year.
