Entity Documentation - minecraft:offspring

Defines the way an entity can create a born offspring.

Offspring Properties

Name	Default Value	Type	Description	Example Values
blend_attributes	true	Boolean true/false	If true, the entities will blend their attributes in the offspring after they breed.
deny_parents_variant	not set	Array of Deny Parents Variant items	Determines how likely the baby of parents with the same variant will deny that variant and take a random variant within the given range instead.
inherit_tamed	true	Boolean true/false	If true, the babies will be automatically tamed if its parents are
mutation_factor	not set	Array of Mutation Factor items	Determines how likely the babies are to NOT inherit one of their parent's variances. Values are between 0.0 and 1.0, with a higher number meaning more likely to mutate.	Goat: {"variant":0}
offspring_pairs	not set	Array of strings	The map of entity to offspring definitions that this entity can make offspring with.	Chicken: {"minecraft:chicken":"minecraft:chicken"}, Cow: {"minecraft:cow":"minecraft:cow"}, Dolphin: {"minecraft:dolphin":"minecraft:dolphin"}
parent_centric_attribute_blending	not set	Array of strings	List of attributes that should benefit from parent centric attribute blending. For example, horses blend their health, movement, and jump_strength in their offspring.
property_inheritance	not set	Array of strings	List of Entity Properties that should be inherited from the parent entities and potentially mutated.	Chicken: {"minecraft:climate_variant":{}}
random_extra_variant_mutation_interval	0	Range of integers	Range used to determine random extra variant.
random_variant_mutation_interval	0	Range of integers	Range used to determine random variant.

Deny Parents Variant

Determines how likely the baby of parents with the same variant will deny that variant and take a random variant within the given range instead.

Deny Parents Variant Properties

JSON path: deny_parents_variant

Name	Default Value	Type	Description
chance	0	Decimal number	The percentage chance of denying the parents' variant.
max_variant	0	Integer number	The inclusive maximum of the variant range.
min_variant	0	Integer number	The inclusive minimum of the variant range.

Mutation Factor

Determines how likely the babies are to NOT inherit one of their parent's variances. Values are between 0.0 and 1.0, with a higher number meaning more likely to mutate.

Mutation Factor Properties

JSON path: mutation_factor

Name	Default Value	Type	Description
color	0	Decimal number	The percentage chance of the offspring getting its color as if spawned rather than inheriting color from its parents.
extra_variant	0	Decimal number	The percentage chance of a mutation on the entity's extra variant type.
variant	0	Decimal number	The percentage chance of a mutation on the entity's variant type.
