About this project

What does Smart Feeding Troughs add?

Smart Feeding Troughs

Smart Feeding Troughs automatically feeds and breeds nearby animals in a natural and vanilla-friendly way. Also adds an edible Hay Bale Block which allows wheat eating animals to feed directly from the bale.

Features

  • Designed and Optimized for maximum performance in multi player servers
  • Supports both Fabric and NeoForge loaders
  • Shear a Hay Bale and animals that eat wheat can feed directly from the block 8 times.
  • Enforces a population cap and stops feeding once the cap is reached.
  • Animals feed only if a nearby eligible mate is also ready to breed, avoiding wasted food.
  • Works with any modded animal that extends the vanilla Animal class. Tested with Alex's Mobs.
  • Designed for maximum efficiency by minimizing expensive scanning.
  • Supports automated input through top and sides via vanilla hoppers.
  • Fully configurable, with command-line and UI options via Cloth Config and Mod Menu.

How to use:

To craft a Smart Trough you need any wooden slabs and planks, combine them in a crafting table and place the trough. Insert eligible food into the 4-slot inventory. i.e. wheat for cows, seeds for chickens, etc.

Smart Trough crafting recipe

Config Options

  • range: Maximum distance at which animals can be claimed by the trough. (Default: 16)
  • maxClaimedAnimals: Maximum number of animals each trough can claim. Add more troughs to increase the cap further. (Default: 24)
  • troughClaimCheckInterval: Number of ticks the trough waits before searching for more animals to claim. (Default: 600)
  • feedChance: Probability that an animal will feed when ready. This adds natural variation and can be set to 1.00 for a 100% chance. (Default: 0.25)

Changelog

  • Performance optimizations geared towards multi player servers
  • Improved visuals and natural behavior while animals feed
  • Trough visuals change to reflect current inventory levels
