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) 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.
