Breeding Animals for Size, Stats, and Better Harvests

Understanding Trait Inheritance and Mutations

Dasik Library manages underlying genetics for companion animal mods by saving family trees and physical traits directly to world data. When breeding animals from supported mods, the offspring inherit blended traits from both parents, with a chance for natural mutations.

• Watch the Family Tree: Continually breeding closely related animals triggers inbreeding penalties, which can harm the bloodline. Introduce new wild stock periodically to keep traits healthy.
• Select for Size: Size scaling directly determines secondary attributes. Larger animals naturally gain higher maximum health, faster movement speed, and increased attack strength.

Maximizing Meat and Item Drops

The library scales animal drops based on the physical development of the mob rather than relying on flat loot tables.

• Raise Animals to Full Potential: Mobs that have grown to larger sizes yield significantly more meat and harvested materials upon slaughter.
• Maintain High Health: Keep your herds healthy prior to harvesting, as drop quantities scale with both mob size and overall health condition.
