The ShearMaster plugin introduces an exciting and practical way to gather resources from animals without the need to kill them. Players can now shear or "slice" various animals to collect materials such as wool, feathers, leather, and meat. This allows for a more sustainable approach to resource collection, encouraging farming and animal care, while adding a unique mechanic to gameplay.

Features
- Shear or Slice Animals: Players can shear animals like cows, chickens, horses, llamas, and more to gather materials. Using a sword, animals can also be "sliced" to harvest meat.
- Customizable Loot: Each animal’s loot, both for shearing and slicing, is fully customizable. You can specify the type of item and the quantity, making this plugin adaptable to any server's economy or gameplay style.
- Sustainable Farming: After an animal is sheared or sliced, it will revert to its baby form, making it impossible to shear or slice again until it grows back. This prevents excessive resource farming and encourages animal breeding and management.
- Experience Rewards: Players earn experience points (EXP) for shearing and slicing, and the amount of EXP can be customized for each animal.
- Simple Configuration: The plugin is fully configurable via a user-friendly config file, allowing server admins to easily toggle shearing and slicing per animal and adjust loot and experience rewards.
Each animal has individual settings for:
- Shearable: Determines if an animal can be sheared for resources.
- Sliceable: Determines if an animal can be sliced with a sword to harvest meat.

- EXP Rewards: Sets the amount of experience the player receives for shearing or slicing an animal.
