BTA Breeding

by UselessBullets

BTA Breeding brings modern animal breeding to Better Than Adventure: feeding animals makes them produce children.

What it does

Feeding a pair of animals with food starts breeding, and the pair then produces a baby version. The mod backports breeding and mob-following behavior from later Minecraft versions, so animals in Better Than Adventure can be bred the way players expect from newer releases. Fed animal children grow up faster when they are fed as well, and they stay in the world longer before they can despawn.

Breeding uses flowers, tall grass and seeds, including pumpkin seeds, as food. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is built on a modified version of Babric, designed only for Better Than Adventure and heavily changed from the original, and it targets b1.7.3. Source code and an issue tracker are public, and the code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so the mod is open source. Snapshot builds are published.

Key features

  1. Feeding animals to breed

    Animals accept food items, and a fed pair creates a baby version of the animal.

  2. Faster growing children

    Feeding a child animal shortens the time it needs to grow up.

  3. Persistent children

    Fed animal children remain in the world longer and are less likely to despawn.

  4. Plant food sources

    Flowers, tall grass and seeds, including pumpkin seeds, serve as breeding food.
