StopGrowth

Stop Growth Mod

A simple Minecraft 1.21.6 mod for Fabric and NeoForge that allows you to stop and restart the growth of most baby entities using specific items.

✅ Version 1.0 supports: Happy Ghast only
🚀 Version 2.0 supports: Almost all baby mobs

🧪 Features

• Growth Freeze
  Feed a configured "stop item" (e.g., Fire Charge) to a baby mob to halt its growth.

• Growth Restart
  Feed a configured "restart item" (e.g., Snowball) to the frozen mob to resume growth.

• Persistent State
  Growth state is saved with the entity and can be toggled at any time.

• Visual Feedback
  Particle effects (e.g. smoke, glow) show successful item interaction.

• ✅ Full Datapack Support
  Easily customize the stop/restart items via datapack:
  ➤ Just modify or add files in:
  data/stopgrowth/tags/items/growth_stop_food
data/stopgrowth/tags/items/growth_restart_food
  No Java code or mod recompilation needed.
