Better Genetics

This datapack introduces revolutionary changes to the animal breeding process in Minecraft. Wild creatures now spawn in the world with random characteristics that affect their performance and abilities.

Main Features

Animals possess unique genetic parameters that determine various aspects of their behavior and productivity. For example, pigs can yield different amounts of meat when slaughtered, chickens can lay eggs at varying speeds, and wolves can deal different damage when attacking.

How to Use

To get started, you'll need to craft an Animal Analyzer using wheat and a carrot on a stick according to the specified recipe. This tool allows you to study the genetic characteristics of any animals.

Simply right-click or left-click on a creature while holding the analyzer to see its statistics. When hovering over lines of text in chat, you'll get additional information about specific characteristics.

Important: Some animals (horses, wolves, llamas, and others) may not respond to standard scanning. In such cases, try hitting them with the analyzer (this doesn't cause damage) or move 6-7 blocks away.

Supported Species

The genetics system works with cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, rabbits, horses, llamas, wolves, cats, bees, striders, camels, goats, foxes, and parrots. Genes affect growth speed, dropped item quantities, movement speed, and many other parameters.

Compatibility

The datapack may conflict with other modifications that change animal loot tables (for example, those that add creature head drops). However, it works excellently in combination with most other datapacks and mods.
