Failed Breeding
by Mike
Failed Breeding gives animals a 10% chance to fail breeding, which slightly raises the effort needed to grow herds on a Fabric server.
What it does
Each time two mobs are bred, a 10% roll decides whether the attempt fails. The change is small, meant to make breeding a little less simple without ruining it entirely. Because the adjustment runs on the server, the server must run the mod for it to take effect, and players join without installing anything. The mod requires Fabric API and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Its builds cover 1.20 – 1.21.8 across 16 release versions, with 1.0.2+1.21 for 1.21.3 as the latest Fabric file.
Key features
Failed breeding attempts
Breeding has a 10% chance to fail, so some attempts produce no offspring even when both parents are ready.
Balanced breeding pace
The adjustment keeps breeding possible while making it slightly harder to grow large herds quickly.
Server-side behavior
The change applies on the server, so players can join a server running the mod without installing it.
