Animal Pen

The Animal Pen is a utility block that allows players to store, breed, and harvest resources from large numbers of mobs in a compact way.

Usage

• Insert mobs by right-clicking the pen with an Animal Jar containing the mob.
• Sneak (Shift as the standard Keybind) to check whether mobs inside are ready to be harvested.
• Breed mobs by right-clicking with the appropriate food.
  • The breeding consumes 50% of the current mob count or one stack (64) of food, whichever is lower.
  • Example:
    • With 100 mobs inside: 50 food are consumed, resulting in 150 mobs.
    • With 150 mobs inside: 64 food are consumed, resulting in 214 mobs.

Harvesting

• Resources can be harvested directly inside the pen.
• Two methods:
  • Killing with a sword – standard mob drops, with effects from Looting, Fire Aspect, etc.
  • Using specific tools – e.g.:
    • Bottles or Shears for Bees
    • Shears for Sheep
    • Buckets for Chickens (eggs) and Cows (milk)

Supported Mobs

• Nearly all mobs can be inserted into the pen.
• Breeding is only possible if the mob itself can normally be bred in "vanilla" gameplay.

Automation

• A block can be inserted by right-clicking the pen and will serve as the floor. This is purely visual and does not affect speed.
• The pen can be automated with systems such as:
  • Dispensers
  • Modular Routers
  • Other item interaction blocks

Notes

• Multiple Animal Jars can be used on one Pen
• Efficient automation allows large-scale farming of mob drops within a small footprint.
