Breeder's Ledger
by TySH
Breeder's Ledger lets players claim farm animals so that only their owner can milk, shear, ride or breed them on a shared server, with ownership passed to babies through breeding.
What it does
A player claims an animal by feeding it for the first time, and the claim stays with that player; other players cannot take it by feeding it later. Babies inherit ownership automatically. When both parents share one owner, the baby goes to that owner too. When the parents have different owners, the baby is left unclaimed, so no conflict over it arises. Once an animal is claimed, it is protected from griefing.
Server administrators choose which protections apply, toggling them one at a time so the rules fit the server. A server can allow anyone to milk cows while keeping horses locked to their owners. The mod runs on NeoForge for 26.1 – 26.1.2, and it is built for multiplayer, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, and the code is not open source; the author holds all rights.
Key features
Ownership by feeding
Feeding an unclaimed animal makes that feeder its owner, and feeding an animal someone else owns leaves its owner unchanged.
Behavior modes
Right-clicking an owned animal with an empty hand cycles through NORMAL, STAY, FOLLOW and HERD BOND modes.
Herd bond
In HERD BOND mode an animal stays near others of its kind, keeping a flock together without fences.
Hover information panel
A panel near the crosshair shows stats for the animal in view, including speed, jump height, max health, egg and wool timers and breeding progress.
Customizable panel
The panel can change color theme and switch to a compact mode that shows only selected values, chosen from four HUD options.
