[1.7.10] Detecting when 2 animals are procreating

[TLHPoE]

Is there anyway to do this? I've suggested an event for it here], but nobody has replied.

Maybe the animals want some privacy!  ;-P

 

Anyway, there is an int field in all EntityAnimal subclasses called breeding.  It is a counter that indicates the progress of the breeding -- by default it increments whenever it is in love and has a target and then has baby when the breeding counter reaches 60.

 

So whenever breeding > 0 it should mean it is breeding.

 

However, breeding is a private field and I don't think there is any public getter method.  So I think you need to use Java reflection to access the field.  Reflection is actually pretty easy, so you should try it.

 

Anyway, the idea would be that every tick (like in world tick event) you would could check if an entity is an instanceof EntityAnimal and if it is you could use reflection to check the breeding counter.
