# Arrested Development: Prevent Your Baby Mobs From Growing Up<\/p>\n
This is a “vanilla-plus” datapack which allows the player to
\nprevent baby mobs from aging into adults.<\/p>\n
## How to Use<\/p>\n
Download the latest release
\nand download it to your world’s “datapacks” folder.<\/p>\n
Once installed, grab a nametag and name any newly-bred mob “baby”. That mob should
\nthen glow for a second. After that, you’re free to rename the mob, and it will have
\nits age constantly reset to keep it from growing into an adult.<\/p>\n
If you later on decide that you would like your eternal child to grow into an adult mob,
\nyou can nametag it “grow”, and it will begin ageing as usual (it should take about 20 minutes
\nto grow up, unassisted). Again, once the mob stops glowing, you’re free to give it a different
\nname.<\/p>\n
### Uninstalling<\/p>\n
To uninstall the datapack, simply remove it from your world, and mobs will resume ageing normally.<\/p>\n
