Change taming, breeding and wild mounts

Taming and breeding

In fantasy-balance.toml, under [taming]:

Setting	Default	What it does
speed	1.0	How quickly mounts are tamed: the temper they gain from food and from each ride that ends with you bucked off, and the chance a taming item works. 2.0 is twice as fast
foodHealing	1.0	Health a mount gets back from food
breedingCooldownSeconds	300	Seconds after a foal before a mount can breed again
growUpSeconds	1200	Seconds a foal takes to grow up. Feeding still speeds it up

How to tame each mount, what it eats and what it breeds with are in its Riders Encyclopedia entry.

How many spawn

chance under [spawning] thins out wild spawns: 0.5 is about half as many wild mounts, 0 none at all. To keep one mount out of the wild, use wildSpawns = false in its section of fantasy-server.toml.

By default wild mounts stay put once they spawn, as horses do. Set despawnFarAway to true to have untamed ones nobody is near despawn, as monsters do. Tamed, named, leashed, ridden and bred mounts never despawn.

Where each mount spawns, and how often in each biome, is set by data packs, and a change there needs a restart: see What data packs change.

Wild life

Wild mounts graze, burrow, bask, sleep, call and hunt on their own.

• In fantasy-server.toml, under [wild]: behaviors turns all of it off (they only wander and look around), hunting stops predators hunting small wild animals (never pets, named or leashed animals, or players), and forageFinds stops foragers turning up small finds.
• In fantasy-balance.toml, under [wild]: activity sets how often they do things, startleDistance how close players can get before a shy mount bolts (0: nothing is shy), and noticeCreativePlayers whether players in creative mode startle and wake them.

What wild mounts may do to blocks is covered in Keep abilities from hurting players or blocks.
