Goat Apples

Goats headbutt trees and apples fall out of the leaves.

Minecraft 1.20.1 to 26.2 · NeoForge and Fabric · server side only. Based on the Minecraft feedback post "Apples falling from trees when goats ram them".

A goat with nothing to ram picks a tree

A goat that has nobody to charge sometimes walks up to a fruit tree nearby, lowers its head and charges it the same way it charges a player. The canopy shakes and a few apples drop out from under the leaves.

A missed charge shakes the tree too

Step out of the way of a charging goat next to a tree and the goat hits the trunk instead. Whether that costs it a horn is up to you: always, only when the tree shakes, or never.

Now and then, a golden apple

A goat pen is an apple farm

Goats charging a tree they picked keep their horns by default, and a goat with no horns left still shakes trees. A tree rests for a while after it drops fruit, and nothing drops while too many items already lie nearby, so a pen never floods the ground.

Every number is yours

Chances, the search radius, the tree's rest time, the horn rules and the item cap are all in config/goatapples-common.toml (NeoForge) or config/goatapples-common.json (Fabric), and changes are picked up while the game runs. Operators can run /goatapples to see whether baited charges shake trees and which horn mode is set.

Install

Drop the jar into mods/ on the server. Players don't need it, and vanilla clients can join. It adds no blocks, items, entities or network channels. The Fabric version needs Fabric API.
