# Perfectly Balanced Horses: Make horses great again!<\/p>\n

\"Meme\"\/<\/p>\n

## Why?<\/p>\n

Horses in Minecraft are often overlooked due to their lack of utility compared to other types of transportation, such as
\nelytra or boats. This plugin aims to make horses more useful by enhancing the breeding process, allowing players to
\nbreed horses with improved stats. By modifying attributes such as movement speed, jump strength, and health, players can
\ncreate exceptionally fast, high-jumping, and healthy horses that are more competitive with other forms of
\ntransportation.<\/p>\n

And it is just fun to breed horses and see what you get!<\/p>\n

## Installation<\/p>\n

![Modrinth](https:\/\/modrinth.com\/plugin\/perfectlybalancedhorses)<\/p>\n

1. Download the version of the plugin you need from Modrinth.
\n2. Place the downloaded JAR file in the `plugins` directory of your server.
\n3. Start or reload your server. (It is recommended to restart the server to ensure the plugin is loaded correctly.)
\n4. Configure the plugin to your liking by editing the `config.yml` file in the `plugins\/PerfectlyBalancedHorses` directory.
\n5. Reload the plugin using the `\/pbhreload` command or by restarting the server.
\n6. Enjoy breeding perfectly balanced horses!<\/p>\n

> [!TIP]
\n> It is recommended to use the **Horse Power** client-side mod to view the horse’s stats. This mod displays the
\nhorse’s speed, jump height, and health in the horse’s inventory screen. It is available at the following link:
\nHorse Power.<\/p>\n

## Description<\/p>\n

PerfectlyBalancedHorses is a Minecraft plugin that enhances horse breeding by allowing players to breed horses with
\nimproved stats. It modifies attributes such as movement speed, jump strength, and health, enabling the creation of
\nexceptionally fast, high-jumping, and healthy horses.<\/p>\n

The plugin is also designed to be highly configurable, allowing server owners to customize the breeding process to suit
\ntheir server’s needs. This includes the ability to adjust each attribute’s maximum value, as well as the range of values
\nthat can be inherited by offspring. The configuration options cover movement speed, jump strength, and health, with
\nadditional settings to control whether excess or deficit attribute values should be ignored.<\/p>\n

## Screenshots<\/p>\n

## Configuration<\/p>\n

The plugin’s configuration file, `config.yml`, is located in the `plugins\/PerfectlyBalancedHorses` directory. It is
\ndivided into three sections, each corresponding to a different attribute: *speed*, *jump*, and *health*. Each section
\ncontains the following settings:<\/p>\n

– **modify**: A boolean value that determines whether the attribute should be modified during breeding.
\n– **multiplier**: A double value that determines how much the attribute should be multiplied by when breeding.
\n– **offspringRange**: A range of double values that determine the value that is applied to the parent’s attribute value
\n when breeding. The range is defined by a `start` and `end` value. If the `start` value is greater than 0, the
\n offspring will inherit a value that is always greater than the parent’s attribute average. Note that the `end` value
\n must be greater than the `start` value. The math is as follows:
\n – `parentAverage + (parentDifference + rangeBuffer) * randomFactor`
\n – `randomFactor` is a random value between the `start` and `end` values.
\n – `rangeBuffer` is 0.3 * the difference between the maximum (vanilla or custom) and vanilla minimum attribute value.
\n – `parentDifference` is the absolute difference between the parent’s attribute values.
\n– **ignoreExcess**: A boolean value that determines whether excess attribute values should be ignored.
\n– **ignoreDeficit**: A boolean value that determines whether deficit attribute values should be ignored.<\/p>\n

The **use-vanilla-offspring-attribute-range** setting controls whether to use Minecraft’s default offspring attribute
\nrange. Set it to `true` for balanced attributes. If set to `false`, the `offspringRange` in the config file will be
\nused, which can result in very high or low attributes that can result in an unbalanced breeding system without steady
\nprogression. It is recommended to set this to `true` for balanced gameplay.<\/p>\n

Here is an example configuration file:<\/p>\n

“`yaml
\nuse-vanilla-offspring-attribute-range: true
\nattributes:
\n movement-speed:
\n modify: true
\n multiplier: 150.0
\n offspring-attribute-range:
\n start: -0.5
\n end: 0.5
\n ignore-excess: false
\n ignore-deficit: false
\n jump-strength:
\n modify: true
\n multiplier: 150.0
\n offspring-attribute-range:
\n start: -0.5
\n end: 0.5
\n ignore-excess: false
\n ignore-deficit: false
\n health:
\n modify: true
\n multiplier: 150.0
\n offspring-attribute-range:
\n start: -0.5
\n end: 0.5
\n ignore-excess: false
\n ignore-deficit: false
\n“`<\/p>\n

> [!IMPORTANT]
\n> The `multiplier` setting is a percentage value. For example, a `multiplier` of 150.0 will increase the attributes
\nmax value by 50%.<\/p>\n

## Commands<\/p>\n

The plugin provides the following commands:<\/p>\n

– `\/pbhreload`: Reloads the plugin’s configuration file. Requires the `pbh.reload` permission.<\/p>\n
