How to Change General Mob Breeding Cooldowns

If you want faster livestock reproduction without making breeding completely instant, you can configure the cooldown timer to any custom duration using scoreboard commands.

Calculating and Setting the Cooldown

The mod measures breeding cooldowns strictly in seconds. Before entering your command, convert your desired waiting time into seconds. For example, 1 minute is 60 seconds, and 2 minutes is 120 seconds.

1. Open your chat prompt in-game.

2. Run the command using your chosen number of seconds:

/scoreboard players set &mob_cooldown config.custombreedcooldown value

Replace value with your target time in seconds (for instance, /scoreboard players set &mob_cooldown config.custombreedcooldown 60 for a one-minute cooldown).

3. Check chat feedback to confirm the scoreboard objective has updated.

In-Game Behavior

This setting applies across breedable mobs in your world. After you breed two animals, they will display their normal breeding behavior and generate an offspring. Instead of waiting the default duration, they will become eligible to breed again as soon as your configured number of seconds has elapsed.
