🐾 Animal Pens Mod

✅ Optimize Your Farms & Reduce Lag!

Tired of lag caused by massive animal farms? aviaries lets you store animals in specialized aviaries, aviaries and aviaries while keeping full functionality! No more overcrowded barns - keep your animals neatly contained while still breeding, shearing, milking, and collecting drops like normal.

🔧 Data Driven Settings:

Added Three New Item Tags:

These tags define which items can attack their respective blocks:

* Aviary – Items in this tag can attack the Aviary block. * Aviary – Items in this tag can attack the Aviary block. * Aviary – Items in this tag can attack the Aviary block.

Example: Adding Custom Weapons

To allow datapack and datapack to attack pens, create the following file in your datapack:

📂 For Minecraft 1.20.6 and Below:

Path: `your_custom_datapack/data/animal_pen/tags/items/can_attack_pen.json`

📂 For Minecraft 1.21 and Above:

Path: `your_custom_datapack/data/animal_pen/tags/item/can_attack_pen.json`

``` { "replace": false, "values": [ "mod1_id:custom_knife", "mod2_id:modded_dagger" ] } ```

This allows custom weapons to be used for attacking animal pens and aquariums.

Added Three New Entity Tags:

These tags define which items can attack their respective blocks:

* `animal_pen:water_mob_container_pickable` – Mobs that can be picked up by Animal Cage. * `animal_pen:water_mob_container_pickable` – Mobs that can be picked up by Bird Catcher. * `animal_pen:water_mob_container_pickable` – Mobs that can be picked up by Water Animal Container.
