About RealisticAnimals

From SpigotMC

Makes your animals more realistic

Are the animals in the game not realistic enough, boring and secondary?
RealisticAnimals will makes your animals more interesting, by
changings their behavior, introducing new mechanics and customizable features.

Current Features

  • Animal Description - when the player crouches right-clicks on an animal(configurable), they receive a customizable card that includes the animal's unique name, gender, and age. Card appearance configurable in config.yml. UUID using for identification.
  • Multiple version NMS - support 1.16.X, 1.15.X, 1.14.X, 1.13.X, 1.12.X Minecraft versions.
  • Breeding. You can change the items for breeding animals and their amount for each type in breed_item.yml.
Expected Features.
  • MySQL support
  • Custom Drop. Make a drop of animals dependent on age and gender
  • Animal Description
    - Make animals breeding gender, age dependent. Add animals status to the card.
  • Make all mechanics and features fully configurable.
  • UltraOptimizer. A rethinking and complete rework is needed for the plugin to function better. As tests have shown, it is normal to keep on a server with small resources ~ 200 changed animals with improved AI, which is unacceptably small, in addition, new mechanics will be added in the future.
Current Mechanics (BETA)
  • Time - creates its own way of measuring time, depending on its ratio to the real, as well as the refresh rate
  • Better animal AI - changes the behavior of vanilla mobs. It includes this mechanic:
    - Main. Replacing animals with custom ones when player right clicked them. You can configure the distance at which the nearby animal is replaced
    - Run. Animals run away from the player.
    You can change animal avoid distance, sprint and walk modifiers for each animal in the animals settings configuration.
    - Attack. Animals can attack the player in melee.
    You can configure the damage and gender dependence in the animal settings
Expected Mechanics
  • Predictor
    - Move
    . After the animal enters the unloaded chunk, and then into the loaded chunk, it will be moved according to the possible trajectory of the route predicted in advance, depending on age, presence of a pack, gender and status.
  • Better Animal AI
    - Attack. Add age dependency.
    - Main. Make action when animals replacings more configurable.
    - Flock. Animals will be able to stray into a flock depending on their type and age, and will also have roles in it
    - Nutrition. The animal needs to drink and eat
Commands
  • Right click at the animal card to change the unique name. It suggest command to you, just add the name.
  • /rean reload - reload all configurations.
  • /rean debug enable|disable - enable debug mode.
  • /rean debug section <section> enable|disable - enable debug mode for one of the sections. TabCompleter suggest a list of sections
