Regius

Do you like collecting critters?

Do you like breeding those critters to make prettier critters?

Regius is a mod that aims to re-create the ball python breeding hobby in Minecraft to a reasonable degree of realism, including a genetics system similar to (But more expansive than) vanilla's Pandas.

Don't know much about ball pythons or genetics? No problem! Regius includes an in-game guidebook, Ball Pythons and You, to help complete newcomers learn everything they need to know to use the mod. It can be crafted with a vanilla book and a piece of sphagnum moss.

Sphagnum Moss

Sphagnum moss is a plant that can be found growing occasionally in swamps. You can create more by bonemealing it (Like tall flowers) and you can use it as decoration or compact it into a block and grow grass, flowers, etc in it! It can also be dried in a furnace, and then re-hydrated by placing it in water.

Hollow Logs

You ball python will need something to crawl in! Hollow logs can be crafted from any vanilla wood by placing 8 logs in a ring on a crafting table. (Like the chest recipe)

Ball Pythons

Ball pythons can be found in savannas, and then carried home with you in an empty bucket. On rare occasions, your new pet will have a special morph that makes it look different from most other ball pythons! If you have two pythons, you can breed them with raw rabbit meat and they have a chance of passing whatever morphs they have down to their children. (Some morphs are recessive however, so it won't always be immediately obvious that this has happened)

Genetics

Regius currently includes four morphs: Albino (Recessive), cinnamon (Incomplete dominant), pastel (Incomplete dominant), and pinstripe (dominant). That might not sound like a lot, but a dedicated breeder can create 35 different patterns with just these morphs! Genetics in Regius are simulated using a Punnett square system, so a baby ball python can carry genes from its parents that aren't immediately obvious!

Coming in the Future

• Naturally generating hollow logs
• More customization with tags
• Dynamic python behavior (Hiding, basking, etc.)
• More morphs!

If you enjoy Regius, you should check out its inspirations: Bettas and Baby Fat!
