🪤 Quad's Bird Trap

A buildable bird trap for feathers: bait it with berries or seeds, leave it under the open sky, and come back to a caught gull to pluck. An early feather farm for your arrows, without hunting birds.

✨ Features

A buildable bird trap: bait it with berries or seeds, leave it under the open sky, and come back to a gull to pluck for feathers.

How it works

• Build it with the hammer at a workbench (8 Wood, 2 Leather Scraps). It is a slatted box with a drop-door propped up by a stick tied to the bait pedal.
• Use it to put bait in: raspberries, blueberries, cloudberries, barley, or beech, birch, carrot, turnip or onion seeds. Hold the alternate-place key (Shift) and use it to fill it at once. It holds five.
• Baited and with open sky above it, a bird comes in 8 to 14 minutes (game time, so it keeps going while you are away). It eats one bait, the prop falls and the door drops.
• Birds roost at night, and come at first light: sleep through the night and every trap you baited the day before has its bird in the morning. Under a roof none come, and the trap tells you why.
• Use it again to pluck the gull (2 or 3 feathers) and let it go. The door goes back up, and with bait left the next bird is on its way.
• Look at it to see how much bait is left and about how long until a bird. Build a few for a steady supply of feathers for arrows.
• It has its own hand-made look: wicker slats, a drop-door on a forked prop stick, berries on a leaf, and a grey-and-white gull that hops about and pecks once it's caught.

👥 Multiplayer

Who needs it: Everyone, and the host above all: a game without the mod deletes the pieces when their area loads. Restart after installing or updating them.

<!-- HAND-WRITTEN: multiplayer --> A trap's bait, bird and timer are saved on the trap, so everyone sees the same trap, and two players can't both take one bird.

The host decides: catch times, bait, open sky, roosting at night and feathers per bird. While you play on their world their values replace yours (your file isn't changed); a host without the mod leaves everyone their own. <!-- END HAND-WRITTEN: multiplayer -->
