# Gender

<p class="callout success">Information targets the latest **supported** release. For legacy (older) versions and bug fixes, read the changelogs.</p>

#### **Introduction**

Gender is a data value assigned to all horses, even if untamed. It is part of a simplistic realism [breeding](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/breeding) feature.

---

#### **Identifying Gender**

Gender is shown as an icon in the [horse inventory](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/horse-overview#bkmrk-horse-inventory) for all **tamed** horses, and an icon next to **any** name tagged horse.

#### **Gender Potions**

<p class="callout info">Lite does **not** include infertility potions for geldings (or infertile mares). </p>

Gender can be changed at any time using [gender potions](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/gender-potions).

---

#### **Gameplay**

There are no gender-specific differences in appearance, behavior or functions. Gender is only relevant to compatible [breeding](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-lite/page/breeding) pairs.

---

#### **Additional** 

Gender data can be revealed via command if the player has access.  
`/data get entity @e[type=swem:swem_horse,sort=nearest,limit=1] Behaviors[9].Female`

Output will show the gender icon of the horse, and the value `1b` for female, or `0b` for male.
