Post Block: A decorative block, chickens use them as a perch.Egg Carton: A portable storage block that can hold 16 eggs.Unbound Hay Block: Feeds animals up to 9 times.The Wandering Trader will also start selling more docile and unique animals.įind animals you like in villages and in the wild and keep the best ones for breeding the next generation, if you use your favorites for breeding they will produce offspring that share their traits and occasionally you will get new animals born that have your favorite traits from multiple ancestors. In an upcoming release animals found in the wild will be much likely to be fearful of or aggressive to players, while village animals will remain docile. Animals found in the wild will tend to have traits adapted for their environment or traits that are just endemic to the biome. Villages will have a few pure breeds per village, explore the world to find more breeds. The GUI can be accessed by crouch + right-clicking on an animal. You can view information like gender, pregnancy progress, hunger, age, and more in each animal's GUI. Once the animal is born it will grow slowly over time rather than instantly, this can be sped up by enabling the config option that allows feeding to age/grow animals. Sea turtles and axolotls will lay clutches of eggs in the right conditions that hatch on their own over time. If they are a chicken they will lay a fertilized egg which can be thrown to hatch it. If the animal is a mammal they will fall pregnant rather than instantly spawning a baby.

To start with breeding, you will need to find an adult male and female (or just any 2 if omnigender is enabled in the config) animal of the same species and breed them using their breeding food item. To get started with genetic animals, simply explore the world! By default, vanilla animal spawns are replaced with their genetic variants.
