Usage

Quality, Alfalfa & Timothy Bales
SWEM Horses can eat Quality, Alfalfa and Timothy bales or slabs to satisfy their hunger need. These can be consumed by horses when:

Quality Bales are the most nutritious bale type - combining the values of Timothy and Alfalfa in to one hearty bale. Timothy and Alfalfa are less nutritious.

Oat Bales
Oat bales and slabs cannot be fed to horses. They are a way to condense your bushels for storage, or used in crafting sweet feed.

Storage
At the small cost of 1 string per bale, converting bushels into bales is a space efficient (inventory) way of storing dried forage. Alternately, the bales can be placed down as a physical stockpile of food for immersion of requiring space to store food for animal consumption and restocking when supply runs low.

Bales have gravity like gravel and sand. This feature makes it possible to:


Placement

Bales can be placed in all three spatial dimensions, like vanilla logs, bone blocks, and hay bales.

Breeding Token

Description: Breeding tokens are optional items that can be fed to SWEM Horses for breeding.


Details: 

Rarity color: Common
Renewable: No
Stackable:

Yes (64)

Durability:

No (single use)


Obtaining

Crafting
Breeding Tokens come in a single variation.
A breeding token can be crafted with 1 Dried Kelp, 1 Sugar, 1 Iron Nugget, 1 Clay and 1 Rose Feed Scoop.

Breeding tokens cannot be crafted in survival by default - this can be configured in the recipe config.

image.png


Usage

Breeding
Breeding tokens work the same as Sweet feed to breed horses. Both horses must be right-clicked with a breeding token in hand to go into love mode. Breeding items must be used by the player that owns the horse, regardless of trust status.

Servers
By default, Breeding tokens will work the same as sweet feed, but cannot be obtained without commands (/give). This can be configured in recipe configs. For breeding tokens to disable the use of sweet feed, token breeding must be set to true in the server config. When this setting is enabled:

With breeding tokens and its configs, servers can now restrict breeding tokens to:

Breeding tokens (obtained by commands or given by an OP) can be used as normal, even if token breeding is disabled.

It is not recommended to require breeding tokens ONLY unless the server has sufficient (active) staff to manage their distribution, or they can be purchased without staff management (ie creative shop or sign store mods)

Obtaining

Seeds
When broken, grass has a small chance (similar to wheat seeds) of dropping seeds for Timothy, Alfalfa and Oats.

Crops & Bushels
Timothy, Alfalfa and Oat seeds can be planted on farmland (tilled grass/dirt) just like normal minecraft crops. After some time, they will grow into a 1-block high grass like crop that can be broken to harvest and yields 1 bushel of the corresponding type and a random number of seeds.

Shown: Wet compost from Wet (0, 1, 2, 3) to Dry Compost.


Usage

The different forms of compost can be used in different ways.

When condensing compost bonemeal back into compost blocks, some materials will be wasted (9 in > block > 4 out), however this encourages the storage of compost in blocks via muckheaps, occasionally removing the dried blocks from the surface or uncrafting blocks into bonemeal that can be used to grow crops for the player or horse, as well as bonemeal pastures for grass and flowers.

image-1683780525310.png


Usage

Slow Feeders
Slow feeders can hold one bale of Quality, Alfalfa or Timothy types. Right-click a slow feeder with a bale or bale slab to place it inside the feeder. If using a bale slab, the feeder will only appear half-full compared to a full bale which will fill the feeder entirely. SWEM Horses will eat from accessible grain and hay-feeders when hungry. When eating from a slow feeder, the horse will consume 1/2 bale (1 slab) per use. 

Placement
Right-click a block with a slow feeder in hand to place it against a wall or on the ground. When a slow feeder is placed at the intersection of two or more blocks, its appearance is different; it becomes a corner piece that connects to all attached sides.
The recommended placement of slow feeders is on the ground, or one block up.

If broken, feeders yield back the remaining bales/slabs.

Slow feeders are technically over 1 block to prevent them being climbed up on, but nearby shavings may make it possible for horses to get on top of one. For that reason, they should be considered for escape points in stalls.

Paddock Feeders
Paddock feeders can hold up to 3 Bales. Right-click a paddock feeder with a bale to place it inside the feeder. The number of bales placed into the feeder will affect the appearance of the feeder's hay. SWEM Horses will eat from accessible grain and hay-feeders when hungry.

All bales appear the same in the paddock feeder - but feeders will not accept a mix of different bale types at one time.

Placement 
Right-click a block with a paddock feeder in hand to place it on the ground. Paddock feeders require 2x1 blocks and cannot be placed unless there is sufficient space. They are 2 blocks tall.

Breaking
When a paddock feeder is broken, it drops any bales it was holding.

Usage

Placement
Right-click a block with a half barrel in hand to place it on the ground. Unlike troughs, half barrels to not connect to adjacent water items. Half Barrels can hold 3 buckets of water and are ideal for horse stalls. If a larger container is needed for use by multiple horses, troughs can hold up to 4-16 buckets of water.

Filling & Use
Water troughs can hold four buckets of water per individual troughs. When filled the water level will gradually rise until it is near the brim, at which point the barrel contains the maximum amount of water.

 

Horses will drink from accessible half barrels and troughs when thirsty. They consume 1 bucket per use but may take multiple drinks in a short space of time, quickly depleting the contents. As they drink, the water levels will visibly decrease to reflect the current volume.

Right-click a horse with a sugar cube to hand feed them, or throw one on the ground near a horse. Horses that are hungry (haven't achieved 224 food points) will eat dropped food items within their search radius. A horse can still be right-click fed even if 224+ food pts have been achieved.

Sugar cubes are a sweet treat that can be used to improve the trust between horse and rider, increasing a horse's Affinity by 2 experience points for each cube, and 5 food points. A horse will benefit from up to 5 sugar cubes a day (MC day unless 24hr cycle is enabled), giving extra offers no benefits but currently has no negative results. Players can determine whether affinity was gained by the particles given out; green ("yay") particles indicate the treat was enjoyed and affinity increased, while orange ("ech") means the horse was indifferent to extra treats or enough time has not elapsed since the last treat was given.

Deluxe Dark Shavings are crafted with 8 Dark Shavings and 1 Dried Kelp.

image-1687999893267.png


Usage

A bag of shavings starts out unopened until right-clicked in hand to open. This gives the item's inventory texture a slightly crumpled appearance. Each bag of shavings can be used eight times before it is used up (disappears), or 64 times for deluxe shavings. Right-click a (solid) ground block with a shavings bag in hand to place; shavings work exactly like snow and can be layered up to 8 layers to make a full block. Unlike snow, it will not melt. Shavings are transparent and will allow light from SWLM blocks through even if placed on top.

Soiled Shavings
Shavings are perfect for use in horse stalls and Horses standing on or near shavings may soil them occasionally. Soiled shavings have a darker appearance than dry shavings. Shavings can also be placed on pee puddles to soak them up, creating soiled shavings, as an alternative to using the hose which is useful when travelling without a water connection. Soiled shavings drop an amount equivalent to the depth of shavings used, so a 3 layer deep soiled shaving bed would drop 3 soiled shavings.

Breaking
Break shavings with any tool or by using a pitchfork. Shavings will yield back a used bag equivalent to the number of levels of shavings placed, so if destroying a shavings pile that is 3 layers deep, breaking it will return a bag of shavings with 3 uses. These reclaimed shaving bags do not stack, this is the case with all opened shaving bags so destroying large areas of bedding can quickly fill up your inventory in survival. Shavings that come into contact with moving water will be destroyed instantly without dropping any shaving bags or soiled shavings.

Breaking shavings that are only 1 layer deep has a 40% chance of 'voiding' the shavings that have been in contact with the ground and would potentially be too contaminated to reuse. 

Storage
Shavings bags cannot currently be placed for realistic storage, and must be kept in an inventory or item frame instead. Additionally, placed shavings (layers) cannot realistically be stored in large piles and broken as needed; if breaking a lower level, all shavings above are voided and drop nothing.

Compost
Soiled shavings can be placed in Wheelbarrows in order to make Compost, used as a source of bonemeal or blocks to place in muck heaps.

Shavings may make it possible for horses to get over some walls, fences, dividers or hop onto feeders to jump out of stalls or pastures. For that reason, their depth and location as well as wall/fence height should be considered for escape points.

Usage

A bag of sweet feed starts out unopened until right-clicked in hand to open. This gives the item's inventory texture a slightly crumpled appearance. Each bag of sweet feed can be used four times before it is used up (disappears). Right-click a grain feeder with an open sweet feed bag in hand to fill up the feeder.  Horses will eat from accessible grain and hay-feeders when hungry.

Water Trough

Description: A Water Trough is a block that can hold water for Horses to drink.


Details: 

Renewable: Yes

Stackable:

Yes (64)
Tool: Pickaxe (Any)
Blast Resistance: N/A
Hardness: N/A
Luminant: No
Transparent: Yes
Flammable: No
Flammable (Lava): No

Obtaining

Crafting
Water Troughs come in 1 (silver/gray) color.
4 Water Troughs are crafted with 5 Dried Kelp and 1 Cauldron.

image-1624908266310.png


Usage

Placement
Right-click a block with a water trough in hand to place it on the ground. When a water trough is placed adjacent to another trough it will become a larger trough; connecting on the attached sides. Up to 4 troughs can be connected, allowing up to 16 buckets worth of water - perfect for large multi-horse pastures.

Water troughs will only join other troughs facing the same direction, directly next to them (similar to Separators). Face a single direction, placing each trough next to the other while moving sideways rather than turning. Troughs cannot be joined at intersections to make L/U shaped or circular troughs.

Filling & Use
Water troughs can hold four buckets of water per individual troughs. When filled the water level will gradually rise until it is near the brim, at which point the trough contains the maximum amount of water.

Horses will drink from accessible half barrels and troughs when thirsty. They consume 1 bucket per use but may take multiple drinks in a short space of time. As they drink, the water levels will visibly decrease to reflect the current volume. 

Water troughs' hitboxes are over 1 block to prevent them being climbed up on, but nearby shavings may make it possible for horses to get on top of one. For that reason, they should be considered for escape points in stalls.

Grain Bin

Description: Grain bin provides a place to break up and store grain (sweet feed and rose feed).

Grain bin textures are a placeholder and will receive future improvements. This item is a proof of concept addition to the 1.2 Food Update and is function was a priority over visual refinement.


Details: 

Renewable: Yes

Stackable:

Yes (64)
Tool: Any
Blast Resistance: No
Hardness: N/A
Luminant: No
Transparent: Partial
Flammable: No
Flammable (Lava): No

Obtaining

Crafting
Grain Bins come in 16 Minecraft colors and 8 wood tones.
A Grain Bin is crafted with 1 Chest, 2 Trapdoors (any) and 1 Dye of a corresponding color.

Usage

Right-click the ground with a grain bin in hand to place it. On placement the grain bin will be closed, but can be opened by shift right-clicking the grain bin. Repeating this will close the bin once more. 

image-1686588842856.png

Shown: Grain bins in a closed versus open state.

Adding Grain
The bin will appear empty until grain is added; it can hold either Sweet Feed OR Rose feed, but cannot mix feed types.
Right-click a grain bin with an open bag of grain to empty servings into the bin. Each bag has 4 servings, and the grain bin can hold 12 total servings (3 full bags). Every 4 servings added increases the visible grain level.

Scoops
To withdraw a serving of grain, right click the grain bin to receive a single scoop of the feed stored within it per click. This scoop can be directly fed to a horse, or put into a grain feeder. You can withdraw up to 4 scoops per stack (the same servings as a bag). Right-clicking a grain bin with a scoop will also deposit the servings back into the container.

image-1686589081173.png

Shown (L-R): All 16 color and 8 wood variants of grain bins.


Trivia

It is intentional that grain scoops only stack up to 4 - so carrying around 'loose' scoops is not an alternative to bags (making sweet feed bags somewhat defunct). Realistically bags are much better contained to move around with, and can stack in higher numbers when not opened.
