Keep animals in compact pens while still breeding and collecting drops.

Animal Pens helps reduce the lag and clutter of crowded animal farms by storing land animals, aquatic creatures, and birds in specialized pens, aquariums, and aviaries while retaining animal interactions. Use an Animal Cage or Water Animal Container to capture creatures, then feed them inside their enclosure to breed them; stored variants can be selected through the pen interface, and animals can be released by crouch-clicking on the ground. Enclosed animals can still provide familiar farm outputs and actions, including loot, sheep wool, milk from cows, mooshrooms, and goats, mooshroom stew, bee products, turtle scutes, armadillo scutes, and fish or axolotls collected with a water bucket. Other documented interactions include collecting eggs from chickens, turtles, and sniffers, gathering seeds from sniffers with a bowl, feeding fish kelp or seagrass and other aquatic creatures fish, and getting Frog Lights by feeding frogs a Magma Cube. The enclosures can output comparator-readable redstone signals that indicate whether animals are present, ready to be fed, or able to perform additional interactions, making their status available to redstone automation. Datapacks can customize which mobs the capture tools accept, which items can attack the enclosures, and which interactions animals support; this also allows the mod to work with custom content in singleplayer and on servers. Optional settings include animal-growth displays that scale with the number of stored animals, limits on stored variants, a protected minimum animal count, and controls over whether only the owner can interact with an enclosure.
Written from Modrinth . How we write it
Changes the game's code in 5 areas: Mobs and their behaviorChanges 7 game code files in this area: mobs, animals, villagers, projectiles and how they move and act., Inventory and itemsChanges 3 game code files in this area: items, chests and other containers, crafting and enchanting., Blocks and fluidsChanges 2 game code files in this area: how blocks, fluids and redstone work., Chunk loading and storageChanges 1 game code file in this area: how the game loads, tracks, saves and unloads chunks. and PlayerChanges 1 game code file in this area: your character: movement, abilities, hunger and controls..
Adds 24 blocks, 24 recipes, 71 advancements and 11 loot tables.
Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.
Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
We found nothing it sends
We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.
No sign of AI in the game
We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
