What Does This Mod Do?
Lait’s Animal Breeding adds a complete reproduction system to Hytale. Feed two animals of the same type to trigger breeding, producing baby animals that grow over time. The mod supports everything from basic livestock to wild animals, dinosaurs, and even boss dragons.
Configure exactly which animals can breed, what foods they accept, growth times, and cooldown periods through presets or individual settings.
