Youtube"Ticking Livestock" completely changes the peaceful life in Minecraft. Building a farm or roaming the wild is now much riskier. The mod adds no aggressive AI to passive creatures; they won't chase or target you. However, if you don't respect their personal space, you'll face the consequences.
Mechanics: When a player comes within a 3-block radius of an affected animal, it begins to charge up like a Creeper. Visual Effects: The charging animal flashes white and swells up just like a Creeper before detonation. Explosion: If you don't retreat within 1.5 seconds (30 ticks), the animal is destroyed in an explosion with a power of 3.0 (same as a Creeper), damaging surrounding blocks. Affected Mobs: Cow, Sheep, Pig, Chicken, Horse, Donkey, Camel, Llama, Wolf, Cat, Fox, Panda, and Goat.
