[BUB] Gender

• Random gender — each mob spawns as male or female with configurable chances (0-50% each)
• Sterility system — mobs can be infertile, preventing them from breeding
• Visual icons — gender icons appear above mobs when holding the magnifying glass
• Interaction blocking — prevent specific items on certain genders (e.g., stop male cows from being milked)
• Breeding control — restrict same-gender breeding, disable sterile mobs from breeding, or allow everything
• Villager support — with option to keep gender when curing zombie villagers

Link	Name	Integration with other mods
	Jade	When Jade is installed, gender information appears directly in the tooltip when hovering over a mob, if you already know the gender.
	Naturalist	Lion: male (has mane), female (no mane), cub has no gender until grown.
	Primal	Lion: male (has mane), female (no mane).
	Alex's Mobs	Emu: egg laying can be configured via eggRules (male/sterile).
	Ice and Fire	Added dragon support. Dragons follow the config rules (sterility, same-gender pairs).

These mods are added for better compatibility. The mod works with all mods by default.

Sterile chance

Calculated automatically. By default 45% male and 45% female — the remaining 10% is split equally: 5% of males will be sterile and 5% of females will be sterile. If you set 50% male and 50% female there will be no chance for sterility, and mobs will not receive sterility.

Gender-only mobs

Mobs in genderOnlyMobs never receive sterility. To work, the mob must be added to both genderOnlyMobs and enabledMobs.

FAQ

Will there be a port to Fabric / NeoForge / other versions?

Not for now. The mod is made for Forge 1.20.1. If it becomes popular and I have the opportunity, I will try to port it.

Can I use this mod in my modpack?

Yes. The mod automatically scans animals on first launch, but some mobs may be missed. If a modded animal doesn't get a gender, add its ID manually to the enabledMobs list in the config.
