Snekcraft

What Snekcraft adds to the game Snekcraft introduces three snake species - ball pythons, corn snakes, and western hognose snakes - each with multiple color and pattern variants that appear only through breeding. Wild-type individuals spawn naturally in specific biomes, while every other morph must be produced by pairing snakes and hatching eggs. The mod also provides four enclosure blocks (wire cage, terrarium, aquarium, lavaquarium), a terrarium key that toggles wall solidity, decorative hides and a heat lamp, plus snake bags for pickup and transport. Shed skins craft into bags or scutes, and fangs convert to bone meal. Both client and server installation are required, and the mod runs on Forge and Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1. ## Breeding and genetics Feed two snakes raw chicken or raw rabbit to trigger egg laying. Eggs hatch on sand or dirt and develop much faster than turtle eggs. Picking up an egg discards its genetic data, so leave them in place. The genetics system uses three inheritance modes: dominant genes always express, recessive genes express only when no dominant allele is present, and incomplete dominant genes blend with other alleles to create new appearances. Snakes cannot carry hidden heterozygous alleles; instead, wild-type normals act as carriers for base genes when bred to a morph snake. Combining many different genes can rarely yield special rainbow or corned variants. ## Natural spawning Hognose snakes appear in deserts, plains, sunflower plains, and meadows. Ball pythons spawn in plains and savannahs. Corn snakes spawn in swamps and jungles. Only the normal wild-type phenotype generates in the world; all other patterns are breeder-created. ## Enclosures and accessories Wire cages, terrariums, aquariums, and lavaquariums connect smoothly when placed adjacent to each other and function best at a minimum 3×3×1 interior. Hold the terrarium key to toggle the solidity of external walls - non-solid walls show an outline while the key is held. To place hides, heat lamps, or other decorations inside, remove the enclosure block, place the item, then toggle the walls back on. Snake bags let you pick up and move live snakes without losing their genetic data. ## Drops and crafting Snakes occasionally shed skins, which craft into snake bags or scutes. Fangs drop rarely and craft into bone meal, with expanded uses planned for future updates.
