Universal breeding tool

[Lyra_Chan]

I am trying to make an item that lets you breed any 2 animals of the same type without it costing a thing. So for example, how you would breed two cows with wheat, you would only have to use this one item and it would cost nothing. Problem is, I have no clue on how to do that. There are no tutorials on how to do something remotely similar to what I am trying to accomplish. I was wondering if someone from here could help me out.

You will have to use Forge Events to accomplish this. Just did a little searching, and found a thread that should help you out. It's quite outdated, but should get you on the right track http://www.minecraftforum.net/forum...ent/1430398-forge-add-breeding-item?comment=4

Thank you! I been trying to figure that out for the past couple of days but I couldn't figure how to do it.

Yeah, you could also try looking at Minecraft's core code. So, say take a look at the page for Cows, and if that doesn't have anything, look for something like "EntityPassive" or maybe even just EntityLiving or Entity if you can't find that.

If you are making your own item, you don't need an event, you can just override Item.itemInteractionForEntity and do it right there.

That wouldn't really help unless op wanted to rewrite all animals

Yeah, but it can help on a lot of other stuff, so it's the first thing I look to in most situations. In trying to get lightning to work, for example, it was INCREDIBLY helpful to look at ender pearls and lightning itself. So, maybe not applicable to this situation, but still good advice.
