Welcome to the central encyclopedic wiki documentation for Natural Reproduction. This mod overhauls animal husbandry across Minecraft, allowing all 27 passive mob species to autonomously breed in the wild when health, partner proximity, and environmental habitat conditions are satisfied.
🧭 Encyclopedic Wiki Directory
📦 Minecraft Version Guides
- MC 26.2 Guide: Dedicated Minecraft 26.2 installation, setup, dependency bounds, and environment guide.
- Version Compatibility: Version lifecycle matrix, legacy 1.21.x -> 26.x migration history, and support policies.
🎮 Player & Feature Guides
- Autonomous Wild Breeding: Learn how autonomous Love Mode AI checks work, 8-block partner proximity, 16-block overcrowding density caps ($10\text{ mobs}$), and tick math ($24000\text{ ticks} = 1\text{ MC Day}$).
- Species Habitat Reference: View the complete 27 animal species reference table, required 5x3x5 habitat blocks, skin variant triggers, and native climate biomes.
- Genetics & Size Scaling: Master physical size attribute scaling (
0.25xto1.30x), scale-proportional item drop yields, and the smooth gradual crowding penalty formula. - Biome Fertility & Variants: Explore native climate biome bonuses ($2\times\text{ breeding speed}, +15%\text{ genetics quality}$) and visual entity skin variant adaptation.
- GameRules: Complete namespaced GameRules reference table, including the 27 per-species toggles under
Natural Reproduction - Species Toggles. - Commands: Full
/naturalreproductionBrigadier command tree, permission levels, and trackerlogs diagnostic subcommands. - Configuration: Configure mod settings via ModMenu and YACL v3 client GUI screens, client/server config sync, and server crash security gating.
- HUD & Diagnostics: Breeding event trackerlogs, particle feedback (Smoke, Angry Villager, Happy Villager), and Debug Stick shortcuts.
💻 Developer Reference
- Developer Setup & Building: Set up JDK 25 environment, run Gradle builds (
./gradlew build --no-daemon), automated headless tests, and import project into IDEs. - Architecture & Mixins: Technical architecture breakdown, package structure, Mixin injection targets (
AnimalBreedingMixin,AnimalDropScaleMixin), and helper classes. - API & Addon Integration: Integrate with
DasikAnimalGeneticsAPI, dynamic GameRule registries (DynamicGameRuleManager),ModVersionGuard, and addon event hooks.
🌟 Core Design Philosophy
Natural Reproduction follows the Delayed Gratification philosophy:
- No Free Handouts: Animals will not reproduce if crammed into tiny 1x1 or 2x2 factory farming pits.
- Rewarding Pasture Management: Moving livestock to spacious pastures and native biomes rewards players with $2\times$ breeding speed, $+15%$ genetics quality, and larger physical body sizes that yield bonus item drops!
