Breeding

Information targets the latest  supported release. For legacy (older) versions and bug fixes, read the changelogs. 
 Introduction 
 Breeding is the process of pairing a male and female horse to produce a foal. 
 
 Readiness 
 Breeding requires two horses of opposite genders who are "ready", as indicated by the small icon in the horse inventory . 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Ready to breed. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Not ready to breed. 
 
 
 
 
 Love Mode   
 Love mode is a vanilla Minecraft feature that makes entities search for a compatible partner to breed with. 
 
 Love mode lasts for 120 seconds (2 minutes). 
 Horses require a sugar cube  to activate love mode.  
 Horses emit heart particles when love mode is activated successfully. 
 Horses will seek out opposite genders also in love mode to breed. 
 Successful breeding produces a foal  immediately. 
 
 
 Cooldown 
 Horses have a cooldown period of 300 seconds (5 minutes) after breeding, during which they are "unready" to breed. Hover over the gender icon in the horse inventory to see a tooltip for cooldown duration (seconds).  
 
 Foals 
 Appearance 
 
 Adult horses have at least one of seven coat "tags" that apply to their coat texture. 
 Foals inherit  one  tag at random from either of their parents. 
 Foals can use one of  two  coat textures for their color tag. 
 Foals roll for a random coat that uses their tag when growing up.

 Behavior 
 Foals will follow any adult horse, and may idle wander in a small radius. If no adult is around, they will stand or wander. 
 Interaction 
  TBC  Foals can be led by their owner, this is automatically set to the player who owns the mare (mother).  Foals do not have an accessible inventory menu so cannot be equipped with any tack items.  
 Growth 
 Foals grow up after 20 minutes, equivalent to 24000 ticks. Growth can be accelerated with sugar cubes . 
 
 More Information 
 Age 
 Lite does not offer any configs for foal growth time. However, this can be set for individual foals in-game using commands. 
 /data modify entity @e[type=swem:swem_horse,sort=nearest,limit=1] Age set value -# 
 Change  # to the number of ticks until age up. 6000 is equal to 5 minutes. Use  -999999999 for "permanent" foals. 
 Summon 
 You can summon foals with specific coats and growth durations using commands. 
 /summon swem:swem_horse ~ ~ ~ {Age: -#, Behaviors: [{Id: "swem:coat", Coat: "swem:foal_TYPE"}]} 
 Change  # as above and add a valid coat entry for  swem:foal_TYPE . See  Foal Coat Options (dropdown) above. 
 Transfer 
 You can transfer ownership of foals using commands. 
 /data modify entity @e[type=swem:swem_horse,sort=nearest,limit=1] Owner set value PLAYERSFULLUUIDHERE 
 Change  PLAYERSFULLUUID to that of a valid player using MCUUID . 
 This does not automatically update the  ownerName value, which is displayed in the horse inventory (adult horses). Owner name gets set automatically when horses are tamed or transferred using  mod  commands, but not with the above option. 
 /data modify entity @e[type=swem:swem_horse,sort=nearest,limit=1] ownerName set value PLAYERNAME 
 Change  PLAYERNAME to that of a player. It should not cause any issues if invalid, but aim to use valid names anyway. 
 
 
 Additional 
 
 Breeding has a very small chance (1/1000) of a twin birth.
