Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

About

Minecraft has a long standing problem with animal wandering behaviour; there's a quirk with how random positions are chosen which causes animals to have a heavy bias towards walking up slopes. Due to how mojang cull certain positions for performance, it can result in blocks higher than the entity being several times more likely to be chosen than blocks at the same level or lower, which can cause some really ugly behaviour. Stupid Cow, Stop Climbing! Fixes this behavioural quirk, and also shouldn't break any farms which rely on pathfinding in the process. It even works as a server-side only mod!
