Custom Breed Cooldown Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I change the breed cooldown for all mobs at once?
Use the command `/scoreboard players set @s config.custombreedcooldown value` where value is the cooldown time in seconds. For example, `/scoreboard players set @s config.custombreedcooldown 0` removes the cooldown entirely.
Can I set different cooldown times for different mob types?
Yes, the mod allows you to configure cooldown times for specific mobs using targeted scoreboard commands. You can set one cooldown for villagers, another for animals like cows or sheep, and a different one for other mobs.
What happens if I set the cooldown to 0?
Setting the cooldown to 0 removes the breeding delay entirely, allowing the same two mobs to breed repeatedly without waiting. This is useful for quickly scaling up farms.
Why aren't my mobs breeding after I changed the cooldown?
Make sure you used the correct scoreboard command syntax and that the value is a valid number. Also verify that your mobs still have the requirements to breed (food, proximity, etc.) — the cooldown only affects the waiting period between breeding attempts.
Does this mod work with mob breeding in all dimensions?
The mod applies its cooldown settings globally across all dimensions, so the same cooldown value affects breeding in the Overworld, Nether, and End equally.
Can I set a cooldown longer than vanilla?
Yes, you can set the cooldown to any value in seconds, including numbers higher than the vanilla default, if you want to make breeding slower or more restrictive.
Do I need to restart my world after changing the cooldown?
No, cooldown changes take effect immediately when you run the command. You don't need to restart the world or reload chunks.
Will this mod affect breeding of mobs I've already bred?
The new cooldown applies to all future breeding attempts. Mobs that are already in a cooldown period will continue waiting based on their existing timer.
Does this mod affect villager breeding differently than animal breeding?
The mod allows you to set separate cooldown values for villagers and other mobs, so you can have instant animal breeding while keeping villagers on a longer cooldown if desired.
What's the performance impact of removing the breed cooldown?
Setting the cooldown to 0 can increase server load if you have large farms breeding constantly, as more entities will spawn more frequently. Monitor your performance and adjust the cooldown if needed.
