Roost Ultimate
by Tarantel
Roost Ultimate expands chicken breeding with a Breeder incubator, coops that produce resources, and chicken variants with their own outputs.
What it does
Roost Ultimate builds on the Roost and Chickens approach by adding an advanced chicken incubator called the Breeder, which is used to breed different chicken variants and create new breeds. Each variant can have its own yield, and getting the perfect chickens takes experimentation with breeding.
A special chicken coop offers resource production, and most chickens are kept in a Roost. Chickens in this mod are not limited to typical outputs like eggs and feathers, since they can also generate higher-quality materials such as iron, gemstones and magical items. Those resources can be used to craft tools and armor. The mod is required by three addon mods, Roost Ultimate - Terralith, Roost Ultimate - Biomes O' Plenty and Roost Ultimate - Autumnity, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
