Converting Wild and Manually Spawned Horses in Game

Finding Converted Wild Horses

Once the data pack is active in a world running both DragN’s Livestock Overhaul and SWEM, you do not need to run any special commands to find SWEM mounts. Simply explore horse-spawning biomes as normal. Whenever the game generates wild DragN’s Livestock Overhaul horses in loaded chunks around you, the background loop detects them on the next game tick and spawns their SWEM equivalents in the exact same spot.

Handling Manual Spawns and Older Chunks

Because the pack replaces spawned horses as well as naturally generated wild ones, every DragN’s Livestock Overhaul horse introduced into loaded areas is converted automatically:

• Creative Testing: Spawning a DragN’s Livestock Overhaul horse via Creative mode tools or vanilla /summon immediately results in a SWEM horse appearing at that exact position. This is the quickest way to confirm the pack is running.
• Unloaded Territory: In existing saves, horses standing in distant, unloaded chunks remain unchanged until a player travels close enough to load those chunks. As soon as the area begins ticking, the mounts convert in place without losing their position.
