Mod Compatibility

Mod Compatibility

The short answer: most animal mods work with no action at all, because Tamekind's behaviour attaches to anything extending vanilla's Animal class, and its tuning is driven by datapack tags rather than a list of ids in Java.

Works with no action

• Any modded animal extending Animal gets the full goal set, memory and level-of-detail automatically. That is most animal mods.
• Any mod that adds blocks you want animals to graze on, shelter under or drink from: add them to the block tags. No code either side.
• Any mod that adds predators or prey: add them to tamekind:predators_of/<prey> and the food web works in both directions at once, because the same tag drives prey fleeing and predators hunting.

Auto-detected

Mod	What changes
Serene Seasons	Winter triggers shelter-seeking even in clear weather, spring extends grazing, summer keeps heat-sensitive species in shade all day
Warband / vanilla raids	An active raid within 32 blocks pulls pasture animals into shelter, and active raiders count as direct threats

Both are soft: no hard dependency, and Tamekind does not care whether they are installed.

Needs a tag

Situation	Fix
A modded animal should herd	add its type to tamekind:herdable
A modded animal should never be touched by Tamekind	add it to tamekind:disabled
A modded animal is a mount	add it to tamekind:mounts
A modded predator should hunt vanilla prey	add it to tamekind:predators_of/<prey>

Ship these in your own datapack or mod with "replace": false and "required": false on each entry. required: false is what lets a tag name an entity type from a mod that is not installed without breaking tag loading.

Needs code, and why

Two limits worth knowing:

• A modded predator needs a mixin to hunt. Prey fleeing is tag-driven and works for anything, but the hunting half attaches a target goal in registerGoals, and that is done per class for wolves and foxes. A modded wolf-alike will flee correctly but will not hunt until Tamekind adds it.
• Creatures extending PathfinderMob directly, rather than Animal, get nothing. Tamekind's injection point is Animal.

If either affects your mod, open an issue. These are the cases worth a code change.

Other AI mods

Tamekind injects goals into the same goal selector vanilla uses, at priorities 0 to 35. Another AI mod claiming the same priorities with the same flags will contend with it, and the goal selector cannot break a tie: whichever goal starts first keeps control.

/tamekind goals reads the live selector and prints every same-priority flag collision, including goals belonging to vanilla and to other mods. If a behaviour never seems to fire, that command is the first thing to check. See Troubleshooting.

Mods that overlap

Tamekind deliberately does not touch loot tables, add items, or replace vanilla entities, so it stacks with most husbandry mods rather than fighting them. Where another mod also adds panic or shelter behaviour, expect both to run and the priorities to decide which wins. Turn off the overlapping Tamekind subsystem in the config if you prefer the other mod's version.
