Behavior[]
Genetic pigs are a neutral mob that share most of the behavior of their vanilla [1] counterparts.
Some notable differences are:
Pigs can wear collars, saddles, chests, and carpets. When being ridden, a player can steer the pig using a carrot on a stick.
When there is rain or snow, pigs will begin seeking out shelter to hide under. They will also seek out shelter during the midday on sunny days.
Pigs will sleep at night. If the night is not skipped, the weather is clear or they have shelter from weather, and they are sufficiently fed, they will be able to sleep and start recovering any health lost. If a pig is wearing a saddle, it will be unable to become comfortable enough to sleep.
That genetic pigs have hunger and will graze if the appropriate grazing blocks are available. They also accept being fed several food items by hand. A hungry pig will follow the player to beg for food, and will have trouble breeding and regenerating their health while they sleep.
They occasionally wiggle their ears and blink their eyes. When grazing grass, they will root at the soil and turn it into farmland.
Genetic pigs are no longer passive, and will fight back if attacked by a player. Nearby pigs will also come to the attacked pig's aid.
A pig struck by lightning will no longer transform into a zombie piglin.
Wild wolves will hunt and kill piglets.
The Wandering Trader will sometimes bring genetic pigs along when visiting players. Pigs can also be occasionally found in village animal pens.
Breeding[]
A pair of adult pigs (one male and one female) can be put into love mode by feeding each of them carrots, potatoes, or beetroots. After being put into love mode, the female will become pregnant after some time, and give birth after about two full Minecraft days.
A pig can give birth to 1-14+ piglets at a time. Litter size is not only dependent on their genes, but also on the age of the mother - younger adult pigs tend to have smaller litters. By default, the piglets become adults after 60000 ticks (50 minutes). This is equal to about two and a half Minecraft days, but may round up to three days on their GUI.
Genetics[]
Genetic pigs can have various skin colors, hair types, patterns, ear types, eye colors, snout sizes, tail types, and body sizes. The males will often have tusks.
In terms of functionality, pigs can be selectively bred to produce varying litter sizes, as well as differing amounts of raw porkchop.
Drops[]
On death, pigs can drop 0-6 raw porkchop. The amount of raw porkchop dropped will depend on their genetics. Pigs will continue growing even after reaching adulthood, and larger pigs, for example, will tend to drop more raw porkchops. Pigs should reach their full size at around five days of age. Younger animals will drop less than their adult counterparts. They will also drop any equipment they were wearing on death.
Spawning[]
Pigs are a common animal that will spawn in most biomes. Some traits are more common in certain biomes or temperature zones. Some examples are:
Genes[]
Gene recording is in progress, the following is only a small sampling of the genes available in the mod:
Gene/Locus Names | Alleles | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Extension | ED1 | ED2 | E+ | Ep | e | |||
Agouti | Aw | as | a | |||||
KIT | I1 | IBe | i+ | IP | IRn | I2 | I3 | |
Brown | B | Bk | b | |||||
Heterochromia | Het | het |
Extension (E or MC1R)[]
Dom Black 1 (E^D1)[]
This dominant allele produces a solid black pig.
Dom Black 2 (E^D2)[]
Indistinguishable from Dom Black 1 in every known way; only found in certain breeds of pig, such as the Hampshire.
Wildtype (E+)[]
Brindle (E^P)[]
Brindle is recessive and adds black spots to the pig. In its homozygous form, the base color is red with spots; when heterozygous with other alleles, the base color is that of the other allele and the spots are considerably smaller.
Recessive Red (e)[]
This recessive allele produces a solid red pig.
Agouti (A)[]
Wildtype Agouti (Planned Feature)[]
Brown Agouti[]
Non-Agouti[]
Swallowbelly (Planned Feature)[]
Whitebelly Agouti (Planned Feature)[]
Chinchilla Dilute (Planned Feature)[]
Chinchilla is dominant; it lightens red to a pale cream color, and black to dark brown.
Subtle Dilute[]
Subtle Dilute is similar to Chinchilla, but it's recessive and with a less pronounced effect. It lightens red to a golden color and black to dark brown.
TYRP1[]
Silver-Brown Dilute (Planned Feature)[]
Chocolate (Planned Feature)[]
KIT (I)[]
Dom White 1 (I^1)[]
Belted (I^Be)[]
Wildtype (i+)[]
Patch (I^P)[]
The functionality described here is planned. Currently, patch exists but is incomplete and somewhat buggy.
Adds white markings that behave in various ways depending on combination with other genes.
- When combined with Brindle, it produces the "Pietrain" phenotype - large black spots on a white background.
- When combined with White Points, it produces the "Spotted White" phenotype - white with a few small spots of the pig's base color.
- With neither brindle nor other white genes, it produces the "Patchy" phenotype - a mixture of white and colored patches in roughly equal amounts.
Roan (I^Rn)[]
Tuxedo (I^N2) (Planned Feature)[]
Lethal White (I^L) (Planned Feature)[]
Belt 2 (I^Be2) (Planned Feature)[]
White Points Locus[]
Tuxedo (Legacy)[]
This gene currently exists, but will be retired in future updates, meaning it will no longer spawn in the wild.
Tuxedo is a recessive gene that adds a thin white belt and a white spot on the forehead. It looks similar to white points combined with the Belted gene, but the belt is thinner.
White Points (Planned Feature)[]
The functionality described here is planned. Currently, white points exists but behaves as a recessive gene. rather than dominant.
White Points is a dominant gene that resembles the white markings on a Berkshire pig. However, it is genetically distinct; Berkshires do not have the white points gene, but rather have KITLG/Allspots. It adds white spots to the snout/forehead and feet.
KITLG (Oops, All Spots)[]
"Oops All Spots" is an incomplete dominant gene that increases the size of black spots on brindle pigs; one copy of the gene results in much larger spots, while two copies result in them becoming so large they cover the majority of the pig, leaving only the nose, tail, and feet uncovered, as in the Berkshire breed.
Tamworth Mutation[]
Tamworth Mutation is a dominant gene that suppresses the black spotting on brindle pigs and produces a pink skin color rather than the usual grey. When All Spots is also present, both genes cancel out, producing a regular brindle pig.
Blonde Dilute (Planned Feature)[]
Heterochromia (Planned Feature)[]
Mulefoot[]
Hypertrophy (Planned Feature)[]
Hypertrophy is a rare dominant gene found in the Pietrain breed that adds a significant amount of muscle mass to the pig but reduces litter size.
