Usage

(Dec 2022) The current food and water needs system is broken. An improved immersive food/water feature is planned rather than 'patching' the old needs system. This will not be a quick fix and requires testing once developed - it will be incorporated into the 1.18 port.

Grain feeders can hold 1 portion of Sweet Feed, right-click a feeder with a bag of Sweet Feed in hand to fill it up. When Sweet Feed is added, the texture will change indicating the the feeder is full. SWEM Horses will eat from accessible grain and hay-feeders when hungry.

Placement

Right-click a block with a grain feeder in hand to place it against a vertical (wall) block. When a grain feeder is placed at the intersection of two blocks, its appearance is different; it becomes a corner piece that connects to both corners.
The recommended placement of grain feeders is around one block up from the ground, or two for near full-thickness shavings areas of stalls.

Known Issues

  • [1.18] Grain feeders not displaying grain. Are filled (visible with occupied: true in F3 menu) but grain cannot be seen.
  • [Uncommon] Horses may not be able to access feeders (hay or grain) that are surrounded by shavings on all sides. This issue can often be resolved by making sure feeders are clear from surrounding shavings, or grain feeders placed 1 block up above thin shaving layers.
