Reverse Aging
by bottledpepsi
A Golden Dandelion applied once to an adult mob turns it back into a baby, a change Reverse Aging performs on horses, pigs, chickens, striders and similar animals.
What it does
Reverse Aging gives an adult mob a baby form when a Golden Dandelion is used on it. The change covers common animals such as horses, pigs, chickens and striders, and it also applies to villagers and wandering traders. Particle effects, sounds and visual feedback play when the change happens, so the result is clear to the player.
The mod respects saddles, armor, chests and mobs that carry a rider, so those items and passengers are handled rather than lost. It is a server-side only mod, so a singleplayer world runs it locally, and a multiplayer server needs it installed while players join without it. Mods of this kind work on both the server and the client when players connect, so the client-side installation note in the author text applies only to how the mod is set up in that case.
Builds are published for Fabric and NeoForge, with files for 26.1 and 26.1.1. The latest files are 1.0.1+26.1.1-fabric and 1.0.1+26.1.1-neoforge, both dated 2026-04-01. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with its source code public.
