Click for Hot Chicks

by kmfisk

Click for Hot Chicks is a Forge livestock mod for 1.16.5 that adds breeding, genetics and farm animals with inherited stats.

ForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.16.5

What it does

Chickens, cows and other livestock need food, water and a happy state to breed. Players craft feeding and watering troughs and food and water crocks to keep the animals alive. Without that care, animals will not breed, may run away, or may even attack.

Livestock are domestic and breed differently depending on the biome they come from. Each biome yields differently adapted breeds with their own base stats. Those stats influence how much meat, hide and other drops an animal gives, and offspring average their parents' stats with a chance of random mutation. Chickens need nest boxes to lay eggs in, and leaving an egg in the nest long enough can produce a chick.

The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for Forge on 1.16.5. The latest Forge file is 1.16.5-1.0.0, dated 2023-03-22.

Key features

  1. Inherited livestock stats

    Offspring average their parents' stats, with a chance of random mutation, which shapes the herd over generations.

  2. Biome-based breeds

    Certain breeds come from specific biomes, so where an animal is found determines its base stats.

  3. Chicken egg genetics

    Chicken stats decide meat yield, egg count and egg color, with Leghorns laying many eggs and Rhode Island Reds giving better meat.

  4. Crop and fruit farming

    Some crops spawn uncommonly and others need a Farmer villager trade, while fruit trees spawn in select biomes and can be combined into new seeds.

Use cases

Building a breeding farm

Running a server herd

Server owners who want stat-driven livestock can run the mod on a shared server, since every player needs it to join.

Who it’s for: Players who want livestock with genetics and care needs, and server owners running farm-focused worlds on Forge for 1.16.5.

Questions

Does Click for Hot Chicks need to be installed on the server?

Yes. The server and every player need the mod installed.

How do animals get a specific breed?

Breeds depend on the biome where the animal is found. Offspring average the parents' stats, so choosing parents with the wanted stats shapes the next generation.

Why won't chickens lay eggs?

Chickens lay eggs in nest boxes, so they need one to lay in. Keeping them fed and watered also matters, since unhappy animals will not breed or lay.
