Description
Smart Feeding Troughs
Smart Feeding Troughs automatically feeds and breeds nearby animals in a natural and vanilla-friendly way. Also adds an edible Hay Bale Block which allows wheat eating animals to feed directly from the bale.
Features
- Designed and Optimized for maximum performance in multi player servers
- Supports both Fabric and NeoForge loaders
- Shear a Hay Bale and animals that eat wheat can feed directly from the block 8 times.
- Enforces a population cap and stops feeding once the cap is reached.
- Animals feed only if a nearby eligible mate is also ready to breed, avoiding wasted food.
- Works with any modded animal that extends the vanilla
Animalclass. Tested with Alex's Mobs. - Designed for maximum efficiency by minimizing expensive scanning.
- Supports automated input through top and sides via vanilla hoppers.
- Fully configurable, with command-line and UI options via Cloth Config and Mod Menu.
How to use:
To craft a Smart Trough you need any wooden slabs and planks, combine them in a crafting table and place the trough. Insert eligible food into the 4-slot inventory. i.e. wheat for cows, seeds for chickens, etc.
Config Options
range: Maximum distance at which animals can be claimed by the trough. (Default:16)maxClaimedAnimals: Maximum number of animals each trough can claim. Add more troughs to increase the cap further. (Default:24)troughClaimCheckInterval: Number of ticks the trough waits before searching for more animals to claim. (Default:600)feedChance: Probability that an animal will feed when ready. This adds natural variation and can be set to1.00for a 100% chance. (Default:0.25)

- Performance optimizations geared towards multi player servers
