Age Lock Indicator
by Daimy
Age Lock Indicator marks age-locked baby mobs with a small golden dandelion icon that players see while they hold a golden dandelion or crouch.
What it does
The indicator appears over age-locked baby mobs in view, drawn as a subtle golden dandelion that stays within a short render distance. Line of sight is respected, so an icon does not show through walls. Its size scales slightly with distance, which keeps far-away mobs readable without crowding the screen.
Display is set by a configurable trigger: by default the icon shows only while the player crouches or holds a golden dandelion, and a setting can make it always visible. The default settings keep the indicator unobtrusive rather than filling the screen with icons. The mod was checked alongside rendering-performance mods and shader support through Iris.
Installation needs Fabric API. The mod is client-side only, so the server does not need it. It is published for Fabric alone across five release versions, 26.1 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are optional and add a settings screen.
