Energetic Sheep

by rubensworks

Energetic Sheep changes how sheep spawn and produce wool, so that passive animals generate energy players can use in their machines.

What it does

Sheep generate energy after a lightning strike turns a regular sheep into an Energetic Sheep. Lightning-struck sheep are rare, so players look for a herd that contains them or breed sheep, since a baby has a one-in-three chance of inheriting the trait. Regular sheep spawn less often than before. Killing an Energetic Sheep drops Energetic Wool, and a block placed near the wool shows zaps of electricity.

The mod stores energy in the wool and in items that hold it. Players can feed power to their machines by right-clicking them or by inserting the wool into any machine that accepts Forge, NeoForge or Fabric energy. Shearing is the less destructive route: once enough Energetic Wool has been collected, a player can craft Energetic Shears, which hold energy and pull it from Energetic Sheep without killing them. Other mods can also extract energy directly from the sheep, for example through Integrated Tunnels.

Energetic Sheep requires Cyclops Core on every loader. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 18 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.3, under the MIT License. The project is open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Lightning-struck sheep

    A lightning strike turns a regular sheep into an Energetic Sheep, which is the source of the mod's energy.

  2. Energetic Wool

    Killing an Energetic Sheep drops wool that contains energy, which machines and items can use.

  3. Energetic Shears

    Once enough Energetic Wool is collected, a craftable tool shears sheep and holds the energy it takes.

  4. Passive energy source

    Energetic Sheep act as living energy buffers that can be read by energy-transport vessels.

  5. Breeding chance

    Breeding two sheep can produce Energetic babies with a one-in-three chance, so herds can be grown.

Questions

Does Energetic Sheep need Cyclops Core?

Yes. Cyclops Core is a required dependency, so it has to be installed alongside the mod on every loader.

Do servers need Energetic Sheep installed?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Can the energy be used without killing sheep?

Yes. Energetic Shears hold energy taken from Energetic Sheep when they are sheared, so the sheep survive the process.
