Description

Nature's Appetite

Overview

Nature's Appetite is a NeoForge 1.21.1 mod that automates animal feeding and breeding:

  • Animals can seek and eat dropped breeding food automatically.
  • Adult feeding is gated by breeding cooldown (age == 0) to prevent continuous waste.
  • Baby animals can continuously eat (configurable) to speed up growth.
  • Food quality is data-driven and can add healing, love-time bonus, growth bonus, extra baby chance, herd signals, and temporary special drops.

Current Features

  • Auto-feed goal injection for whitelist animals.
  • Tag-driven whitelist/blacklist control.
  • Owner attribution for breeding credit.
  • Data Map based quality system.
  • Per-level dropped-item candidate tracker for better farm performance.
  • GameTest + unit test scaffolding.
