How to Check Which Mobs Require Taming Before Breeding

Trying to feed breeding items to wild animals often wastes food or does nothing if those mobs require taming first. Just Enough Breeding Mod marks taming requirements directly inside its recipe category so you know before you gather animals.

Identifying the Tamed Label

1. Open your inventory and search for the mob's spawn egg in your JEI, REI, or EMI panel, or check the uses of a food item you plan to feed them.

2. Navigate to the breeding category tab in the recipe window.

3. Read the mob's name displayed in the breeding interface.

4. Look for the (tamed) label attached directly to the mob's name.

Breeding Tamed Mobs in Practice

When you see (tamed) next to an entry—such as when looking up wolves—you cannot use the displayed breeding items on wild versions of that mob.

• First, tame two separate individuals using their standard vanilla taming mechanic (for example, feeding bones to wild wolves until hearts appear and they gain collars).
• Make sure both tamed mobs are standing up and at full health if required by vanilla mechanics.
• Feed each of them one of the items shown in the Just Enough Breeding Mod interface to make them breed.
