Roost Reborn

What It Does

Roost Reborn brings back the Roost-style chicken automation loop for Forge 1.20.1 with Resource Chickens compatibility.

This release adds two core blocks:

• The Roost, which holds a single captured chicken and generates that chicken’s primary drop over time.
• The Breeder, which holds two captured chickens and produces offspring based on chicken stats and Resource Chickens breeding rules.

Features

• Resource Chickens compatibility.
• Captured chickens can be inserted using Resource Chickens carrier items and animal nets.
• Roost production scales with chicken stats.
• Breeding speed scales with chicken stats.
• Same-type chicken breeding improves offspring stats.
• Mixed chicken pairs can produce valid Resource Chickens mutations using Resource Chickens-style weighted odds.
• If a mixed pair does not roll a mutation, the offspring becomes a direct copy of one parent.
• In-world rendering shows chickens inside the Roost and Breeder.
• Custom Roost and Breeder block models and screens.
• Config options for base roost speed, roost speed multiplier, and breeder speed.

Stat Rules

• Growth speeds up Roost production.
• Gain increases Roost output count.
• Strength speeds up breeding.
• Breeding two chickens of the same type produces a child with rolled stat improvements.
