Raise livestock that feels alive
Animal Husbandry turns passive farm animals into a proper part of your world. Animals have care needs, genetics, traits, sickness, breeding control, and special interactions that make ranching feel closer to managing a real herd than babysitting a few mobs.
Overview
This mod adds a full animal-care system built around domestication, happiness, genetics, health, and advanced feeding. It is designed for players who want farming and animal breeding to have more depth, more personality, and more long-term progression.
Features
Domesticate animals by feeding them their preferred food. Track animal care over time with happiness, sickness, hunger, dehydration, and grooming needs.
Use the Brush to restore happiness and keep animals in good condition.
Cure sick animals with Animal Medicine.
Check an animal’s genetics and care stats with the Magnifying Glass.
Open a more detailed animal report with the Farm Ledger.
Use Fertility Potion to boost breeding readiness and improve genetics for one breeding cycle.
Breed animals with inherited genetics, including traits, color, pattern, yield, fertility, growth, and constitution.
Feed and water animals with Feeding Troughs.
Give pigs a chance to hunt for truffles in the ground.
Support multiple personality traits, including glutton, cuddly, grumpy, energetic, and none.
Add species-flavored behavior like improved yield, faster growth, and trait-based bonuses.
It also supports modpack creators through a configurable gameplay system, so you can tune the experience for a hard survival pack, a cozy farm-focused world, or something in between.
Gameplay Highlights
Animals are not just decorative anymore. They can become domesticated, gain happiness from proper care, get sick if neglected, and respond to your management choices over time.
Pigs can dig for truffles on suitable blocks, and their behavior can change depending on their genetics and care state. Truffle hunting can also alter the ground, turning grass into dirt and dirt into coarse dirt.
Feeding troughs let you stock food and water for animals, so ranches can feel more automated and less repetitive.
Supported Platforms
Fabric NeoForge
Requirements
Minecraft 1.21.1 Java 21 Architectury
Notes
This mod focuses on gameplay depth rather than one-off novelty items. The balance is intentionally configurable so modpacks can decide how punishing or forgiving animal care should feel. If you are building a pack, the config file is the main place to tune difficulty and progression.

Animal Husbandry 0.4.2
0.4.219 сент. 2026 г.151Minecraft: 1.21.1fabric
Что нового
### **V0.4.2 - Sickday**
**Sickness System Overhaul**
Economic Penalties: Sickness now acts as a severe production block rather than a fast killer. Sick animals immediately stop producing milk, eggs, and wool.
Delayed Lethality: Animals only begin taking minor starvation damage after suffering from sickness for 5 consecutive days.
Dynamic Contagion: Sickness can now spread through crowded pens with a 10% daily infection chance for nearby animals.
Natural Recovery & Immunity: Animals have a daily chance to naturally cure themselves based on their constitution stat. Using Animal Medicine grants a multi-day vaccination period of 100% immunity.
Trait Synergies: The Hardy trait grants immunity to starvation damage, while Iron Stomach prevents contagion spread. Sick animals now receive a Slowness effect and emit smoke particles.
**Fertility Potion Bug Fix**
Fixed an item consumption bug by introducing a targeted two-click pairing system. The potion is only consumed upon successfully linking two valid mates.
Right-clicking the air now cancels the boost for any waiting animals nearby.
**Magnifying Glass Updates**
Replaced chat-box text with a hologram that hovers directly above the animal.
Holograms automatically despawn after 5 seconds to prevent visual clutter and maintain server performance.

Changelog Update
✨ New Content & Items
Golden Beef: Premium Cows now have a chance to yield an exclusive new food item: Golden Beef, which replaces the previous Golden Apple drop. This rare meat can be cooked into Cooked Golden Beef, that grants massive nutrition, Regeneration, and Absorption, and can be eaten even when your hunger bar is completely full!
Chicken Nests: Hens now require a proper Chicken Nest to lay their eggs and hatch new chicks. Nests can be crafted using trapdoors, sticks and hay block.
🧬 Genetics & Breeding Overhaul
Ancestry Tracking: The mod now actively tracks animal lineage. Whenever animals breed, the offspring's generation count naturally advances.
Inbreeding Penalties (Genetic Degradation): Breeding closely related animals now carries steep penalties. Inbred offspring have a much higher risk of developing negative mutations, such as reduced constitution or a slower growth rate. Players will need to actively diversify their gene pool by trading with other farms or introducing wild animals to their herds!
⏳ Dynamic Gestation & Incubation
Species-Specific Gestation: Pregnancy is no longer hardcoded to a flat 24,000 ticks (one in-game day) for all animals. Gestation times are now fully dynamic based on the species. For example, cows now require three full in-game days to give birth.
Nest Incubation Cycle: Eggs safely deposited in a Chicken Nest will now undergo a realistic 1 to 2 day incubation cycle before hatching.
Hatch Survival Rates: To help optimize performance and prevent entity explosions in mega-farms, eggs in nests no longer have a 100% guaranteed hatch rate.
Manual Egg Collection: If you prefer omelets over chicks, you can manually collect an incubating egg from a nest before it hatches to receive a standard, edible vanilla egg.
🧠 AI & Pathfinding Improvements
Strict Enclosure Pathfinding: Animals are now much smarter about locating resources! They will actively verify if a path is physically reachable before attempting to claim feeding troughs, brushing posts, or chicken nests. This prevents animals from endlessly walking into fences trying to access blocks in adjacent pens.
