How does it work?

Pastures (or “daycare blocks”) are the breeding stations where players place two compatible Pokémon, upon right clicking a pasture upon placement. You can select if it operates as a Breeding station or a Normal Pasture block.

When you open a pasture (right-click), it launches the UI in Daycare Mode View. This UI will:

Display both parent Pokemon
Shows held items and whether they influence breeding outcomes
Predicts possible offspring traits or effects

Pastures in "Daycare Mode" emit heart particles to indicate breeding activity. No hearts mean it is open for cosmetic purposes only.

These Pastures generate eggs periodically on a timer.

Anti-AFK / Chunk Unload Compensation:

If a pasture goes unloaded (e.g. due to chunk unload), it tracks the last active tick. When the chunk is reloaded, the Daycare calculates how many eggs would have been generated in that interim and produces them. This ensures players aren’t penalized for being offline or for chunks being unloaded. This also means you do not need to stay in that chunk for continuous breeding to be successful!

Incubators & Hatching:

You can retrieve eggs from a pasture block either with a hopper underneath or directly with an Incubator
- Copper incubators are available in /shop under 'Misc' for 25k!
- Iron Incubators are a 5% chance from /vote keys
- Gold Incubators are a 1% chance from /vote keys
- Diamond Incubators are from Player Level 30
- Copper, Iron, Gold, and Diamond Incubators are all craftable(recipes in image below)
- Netherite Incubators are from Player Level 70
Eggs produced by pasture blocks do not hatch in the player's inventory. Instead, they must be placed into an Incubator, a special container used solely for hatching.
Each player can only have one active incubator in your inventory at a time.
Incubators function similarly to Ender Chests regarding egg storage—they persist across dimensions and sessions.
Incubators come in tiers, where higher tiers provide better or larger storage.
After right-clicking the incubator it is player bound to you and cannot be used by other users. Please do not sell/trade bound incubators it would be considered a server rule violation.

Tiering System:

Copper Capacity - 8
Iron Capacity - 32
Gold Capacity - 64
Diamond Capacity - 96
Netherite Capacity - 128

Shiny Hunting:

Shiny eggs will have orange spots and have a sparkling icon. The Pokemon stats will also feature a star in the summary.
Shiny odds are 1/8092.
With the Masuda Method, where both parents have different OTs, the odds go down even further!
Pasture Blocks will tell you your current shiny odds at the bottom of the offspring screen
