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.
Starting Pasture Screen for setup
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

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:
Eggs produced by daycares 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 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.
