Description
⚠️About Version 1.0.0
1.0.0 is a test version that is not recommended for playing. It may give you a poor gameplay experience.
In version 1.0.0:
① All vanilla wheat and grass drop gametes/hybrid seeds. This breaks many vanilla mechanics; for example, farmer villagers cannot plant.
② Hybrid crops cannot be composted.
③ Many remaining minor defects and bugs.
Please use version 1.1.0 or later.
Crossbreeding
Bring Mendelian genetics into Minecraft. Every wheat plant has its own genome — breed, cross, and cultivate your own super wheat.
Quick Start
- Break grass → 50% chance to drop a crossbreeding seed
- Plant → on farmland, just like vanilla wheat
- Inspect → hold a stone hoe and right-click a mature plant
- Harvest → break mature wheat to get crossbreeding wheat + 4–6 gametes
- Cross → craft 1 female gamete + 1 male gamete → new seed
- Bake → craft bread from crossbreeding wheat; quality depends on genes
Note: Vanilla wheat and vanilla seeds are unaffected. Only grass drops and crossbreeding crops produce the new items.
Genetics Basics
Each wheat has 6 gene pairs, written as 12 characters, e.g. AaBbccDdEeFF.
- Uppercase = dominant, lowercase = recessive
- A pair shows the dominant trait if at least one uppercase allele is present
- A pair shows the recessive trait only if both alleles are lowercase
Gene Reference
| Gene pair | Dominant (uppercase) | Recessive (lowercase) |
|---|---|---|
| A / a | Many ears | Few ears |
| B / b | Disease resistant | Non-resistant |
| C / c | Low nutrition | High nutrition |
| D / d | Low saturation | High saturation |
| E / e | Thick husk | Thin husk |
| F / f | Fast growth | Slow growth |
Bold = the "good" trait. A, B, F good traits are dominant; C, D, E good traits are recessive.
Trait Effects
| Trait | Effect |
|---|---|
| Many ears (A_) | Extra 2–3 crossbreeding wheat |
| Few ears (aa) | No extra drop |
| Resistant (B_) | Never wilts during growth |
| Non-resistant (bb) | 1/2 chance to wilt during early growth |
| High nutrition (cc) | Bread gives +2 extra hunger |
| High saturation (dd) | Bread gives +2 extra saturation |
| Thin husk (ee) | 1 wheat per bread |
| Thick husk (E_) | 3 wheat per bread |
| Fast growth (F_) | Double growth speed |
Bread Crafting
All input wheat must satisfy the requirement, otherwise you get plain bread.
| Condition | Count | Result |
|---|---|---|
All ee + cc + dd |
1 or 3 | High Nutrition & Saturation Bread |
All cc |
1 or 3 | High Nutrition Bread |
All dd |
1 or 3 | High Saturation Bread |
| Otherwise | 1 or 3 | Crossbreeding Bread |
Count is determined by the first wheat: thin husk (ee) uses 1, thick husk (E_) uses 3.
Inspect with Stone Hoe
Hold a stone hoe and right-click a mature plant. Chat shows:
位于(10,64,20)的小麦
表型:多穗、抗病、高饱食、高饱和、多壳、生长旺盛
Click the message to copy it to your clipboard (in simple mode, the genotype is included).
Simple Mode
Requires OP level ≥ 2:
/crossbreeding simple true enable
/crossbreeding simple false disable
When enabled:
- Stone hoe right-click also shows the genotype
- Gametes, seeds, and wheat show genotype in tooltips
- Click-to-copy includes the genotype
State is saved per-world.
Gene Debug Stick (Creative only)
Obtain: Creative "Op Blocks" tab, or /give @s crossbreeding:gene_debug_stick.
Usage:
- Hold the stick
- Left-click: cycle the gene locus
Aa → Bb → Cc → Dd → Ee → Ff → Aa - Right-click a crossbreeding crop: cycle the pair
AA → Aa → aa
The current state briefly appears above the hotbar.
Advancements
| Name | Condition |
|---|---|
| 9331 | Obtain a crossbreeding seed for the first time |
| Cross | Two gametes from different plants |
| Self | Two gametes from the same plant |
| Recessive from Dominant | Both parents dominant, offspring recessive |
| Ahead of Time | 1 thin-husk wheat crafted into a High Nutrition & Saturation Bread |
| Creative Compensation | Use the Gene Debug Stick for the first time |
| Server Started | Plant a vanilla potato for the first time |
