Horse Powered 3.10.2

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash that could happen while watching a Drying Rack finish. As items neared the end of their drying time, the game could crash when trying to show the finished result.
• Fixed Horse Powered machines flooding the game log with messages when they were left holding an item with no matching recipe. Logs are quiet again.

Horse Powered 1.6.0

Gameplay Changes

• Animal Trap bait now drains over time (#14): captured animals consume bait to keep producing drops. Every 2.5-minute drop cycle rolls a chance to consume one bait, and the cycle pauses if the bait slot is empty. Hoppers can keep traps fed unattended; the bait slot accepts matching bait even after capture, but rejects anything that doesn't match the captured species.
• Bait consumption is per-recipe: every horsepowered:trapping recipe carries its own baitConsumed (boolean) and baitConsumeChance (0.01-100.0 percent) fields. All nine built-in recipes (cow, pig, sheep, chicken, rabbit, goat, mooshroom, strider, salmon) ship with baitConsumed: true and baitConsumeChance: 10.0, so one bait fuels roughly ten drops on average. Pack makers can dial each recipe independently. See README.md for the full schema.

Recipe Viewer

• JEI and EMI Trapping categories now show a Bait consumed line per recipe. Recipes that don't consume bait read Bait consumed: No; consuming recipes read Bait consumed: 10% Chance (or whatever percent the recipe declares). The category panel is one row taller to fit the new line.

Documentation

• README documents the horsepowered:trapping recipe type with a full example covering the new bait-consumption fields.
• Animal Trap GuideMe page describes the new ongoing-feeding behavior and lists the two new optional recipe fields under "Adding Custom Bait Recipes".

Documentation

• README documents the horsepowered:trapping recipe type with a full example covering the new bait-consumption fields.
• Animal Trap GuideMe page updated to describe the new ongoing-feeding behavior in-line with the rest of the usage steps.
• Trimmed every GuideMe page (Hand Grindstone, Horse Grindstone, Chopping Block, Horse Chopper, Horse Press, Horse Powered Generator, Granite Anvil, Drying Rack, Flint and Tinder, Horse Path & Speed, Work Saddle, Creative Battery) to a player-focused style: removed in-page recipe tables, internal-mechanism explanations, and datapack/JSON authoring sections. Recipe listings now point to JEI/EMI.

Horse Powered 3.9.1

Hotfix port of the 1.21.1 branch's 2.5.1 release into 26.1.

New Content

• Wooden Hopper art: new textures and Blockbench-authored models donated by emmen. Top, inside, outside, and new bottom textures, plus updated item art.
• Flint and Tinder art: donated by ArtpokeBR.

Gameplay Changes

• Flint and Tinder hold-to-use: must now be held like firing a bow before it lights anything. The bow-style animation plays and smoke drifts from the targeted block while the player holds right-click. After about two seconds the block is ignited, or campfires, candles, and TNT light directly. Releasing early cancels with no use spent. Durability lowered from 16 to 8 to compensate for the easier renewable supply via the Drying Rack's dead-bush recipe.

Bug Fixes

• Hand Grindstone hitbox shrunk to match the model: the old selection box was a single 14-tall cube that visually covered the side items and made them hard to click. Selection and collision now follow the visible geometry (a flat base plus the central stem). Turning the wheel only fires when right-clicking the stem itself, so clicking on a base side reliably extracts that side's slot even while the grindstone has work to do. Pickup quadrants on the base top are also enlarged from the old narrow strips to the full base quadrant.
• Horse Power Generator stone-tier requirement and charge persistence: the generator now sits in both the pickaxe and needs_stone_tool tags. Stored FE is attached to the dropped item as a BLOCK_ENTITY_DATA data component, and placing the item back restores the buffer. The horse, if any, is still released as a live entity with a lead, so charge moves with the block while the worker is freed.

Suggestion Implementation

• Path surface affects worker speed: every horse-powered block (Grindstone, Chopper, Press, Generator) now samples the 24 floor blocks under its circular path and averages a per-block speed multiplier. Faster paths produce recipes faster; slower paths slow them down. Defaults: dirt, grass, coarse dirt, and rooted dirt run at 0.5x; dirt path at 1.0x; packed ice at 2.0x. Anything not listed defaults to 1.0x. Multipliers and defaults are configurable in config/horsepowered-common.toml under [horse_path] via pathSpeedEntries and pathSpeedDefault.
• Working area now tolerates a few obstructions: chests, hoppers, gears, and other non-replaceable blocks can sit inside the 7x7 ring without invalidating the area. Default tolerance is 2 blocks, raise or lower it via [horse_path] pathObstructionTolerance (range 0 to 40). Levers remain always-allowed, and the floor sturdiness check is unchanged.

Documentation (GuideMe)

• New Horse Path & Speed page covering working area, obstruction tolerance, the speed multiplier defaults, and the config snippets for customizing both.
• New Flint and Tinder page covering the hold-to-use behavior, smoke feedback, retargeting during use, and the lowered durability.
• Each horse-powered machine page (Grindstone, Chopper, Press, Generator) now links to the Horse Path & Speed page, and the index Tips section calls out the new path mechanic.
• Generator guide updated to note that breaking and replacing the block preserves stored charge.

Pickup quadrants on the base top are also enlarged from the old narrow strips to the full base quadrant.
• Horse Power Generator is now mineable (#12): it was missing from minecraft:mineable/pickaxe and had no loot table, so no pickaxe ever drained durability or dropped anything. It is now in both the pickaxe and needs_stone_tool tags and ships with a standard self-drop loot table. Charge is preserved when broken: the stored FE is attached to the dropped item as a BLOCK_ENTITY_DATA data component, and placing the item back restores the buffer. The horse, if any, is still released as a live entity with a lead, so charge moves with the block while the worker is freed.

Horse Powered 3.9.0

New Content

• Animal Trap: wooden retextured mob spawner block that catches passive animals over time. Right click bait into the empty trap, wait, and the trap rolls a 5% chance per second after the minimum wait elapses. Once an animal is caught it is stored on the BlockEntity as NBT (not as a live entity) and renders inside the cage spinning the way a vanilla mob spawner does. Every 2.5 minutes the captured entity rolls its vanilla death loot table and the drops land in the trap's internal inventory. Hoppers below the trap pull drops out; hoppers above only insert valid bait. Sneak + right click releases the captured animal back into the world. Right click with an empty hand drops all stored items on the ground. Mining the trap with a stone tier or better axe drops it with full NBT preserved (bait, drops, captured entity) so a working farm can be relocated. Crafted with 4 wooden slabs, 2 iron chains, 2 smooth stone, and a wooden pressure plate.
• Flint and Tinder: low durability flint and steel alternative. Crafted from 8 dead bush surrounding a piece of flint. Behaves like flint and steel for fire, campfire, and candle lighting but only has 16 durability. Pair it with the Drying Rack's saplings to dead bush recipe for a renewable fire starter loop.

Data Driven Recipes (horsepowered:trapping)

Pack makers add their own bait to entity mappings at data/<ns>/recipe/trapping/*.json. Recipe fields:

• bait: Ingredient (required)
• entity: entity type Identifier (required)
• time: minimum wait in ticks before the dice roll begins (default 1200)
• priority: sort order in recipe viewers (default 0, lowest displays first)
• biome: optional biome tag the trap must sit inside before the dice roll counts
• waterlogged: optional boolean; when true the trap must be waterlogged before the dice roll counts

When biome or waterlogged conditions are not met the bait stays, the timer keeps running, and Jade shows "Wrong biome" or "Needs water" in red so you know to relocate or waterlog the trap.

Built In Recipes

The horsepowered:fish_habitat biome tag bundles #minecraft:is_river, #minecraft:is_ocean, and #minecraft:is_deep_ocean, so it works for future fish recipes too.

Trapping in JEI

New "Trapping" category in JEI showing the bait, the trap as the catalyst, and the captured animal's spawn egg as the result. Each recipe lists the minimum wait, "5% Chance/sec" after, and any biome or waterlogged condition. JEI category width is 160 pixels so even long biome labels like "Rivers and Oceans" fit on a single line.

Jade

The Jade tooltip shows live trap state via a server data provider so the countdowns tick smoothly without needing to click the trap: "Trapping... Xs" while waiting, "Trap set" once the dice phase begins, "Caught: " and "Next drop: M:SS" after capture, the bait and drop slots' contents, and red "Wrong biome" or "Needs water" warnings when bait is loaded but the conditions are not satisfied.

Recipe Viewer Improvements

• Drying Rack scale fade: during the last 30% of a drying recipe the input item smoothly shrinks while the output grows in its place. Fade is partial tick interpolated for buttery smoothness. (1.21.6's deferred render pipeline does not support alpha tinting on the standard item render path, so the fade is implemented as a scale transition rather than the alpha blend used on the 1.21.1 branch.)

Datapack / API

• horsepowered:trapping recipe type. See Animal Trap Details above for fields.
• horsepowered:fish_habitat biome tag. Aggregates rivers, oceans, and deep oceans for waterlogged fish recipes.
• Trap drops use the captured entity's vanilla loot table with LootContextParams.DAMAGE_SOURCE = damageSources().generic(), giving raw drops (raw porkchop, not cooked, for example).
• Trap state is preserved across mining via DataComponents.BLOCK_ENTITY_DATA (using the new 1.21.6 TypedEntityData<BlockEntityType<?>> payload), so the dropped item carries the captured entity NBT and inventory contents.

Fixes

• Custom recipes now actually show in JEI: NeoForge 26.1 only syncs explicitly listed custom recipe types to clients. The Animal Trap's horsepowered:trapping type was not in the OnDatapackSyncEvent#sendRecipes list, so the client never received the trap recipes and JEI's category was empty. Added trapping to the sync list.
• Captured entity is no longer pitch black: the cached display entity was created without a world position, so the lightmap lookup during render state extraction sampled the void at world origin. The renderer now sets the entity's position to the trap's block position before extraction and copies the trap's own lightCoords onto the resulting entity render state.

GuideMe

• New Animal Trap guide page covering bait recipes, drop mechanics, hopper automation, biome and waterlogged conditions, the crafting recipe, and how to author custom trap recipes in a datapack.
