ProjectGene

Mod Description

Immerse yourself in the world of animal genetic breeding! The ProjectGene modification introduces complex crossbreeding mechanics to Minecraft based on Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment of traits. Now sheep, cows, chickens, and pigs possess unique gene sets that are passed to offspring with consideration of mutations.

Each individual has become truly unique thanks to the complex genetic system. Unlike other mods where bees can be held in hands like items, here all animals are living creatures that need to be bred and maintained during gameplay.

Key Features

• Rainbow sheep are no longer just decoration - different genetic combinations determine their wool color, affecting the type of wool when sheared
• Hybrid mushroom cows - crossbreeding regular cows with mooshrooms creates unique creatures that feed on grass and mushrooms with the ability to restore fungal covering
• Universal mooshrooms - some hybrid individuals can grow both red and brown mushrooms, sometimes even with floral elements
• Pigs with protective equipment - saddles can now be carefully removed using shears
• Control tools - special potions and items allow managing animal growth and gender, including the possibility of self-fertilization
• Hidden discoveries - various Easter eggs are scattered throughout the world for the most attentive players

Current Project Development

• Sheep - fully implemented genetic system
• Cows - detailed mechanics implemented
• Chickens - basic functionality
• Pigs - initial development stage

Future Plans

• Improved textures, especially for mixed mooshroom types
• Expanded list of available animals and genetic characteristics
• Added exclusive rewards and additional features
• Development of a gene analysis and modification system
