The breeding serializer controls valid parent combinations, breeding feed items, optional returned feed containers/items, and breeding/growth delays.

Fields

Field	Type	Required	Default	Range / accepted forms
families	array of family objects	No	[]	Each family requires parent1 and parent2.
feedItems	registry predicate of items	No	minecraft:poppy	Item ID, #tag, or list of item IDs.
feedReturnItem	item stack template	No	omitted	Compact item ID or expanded item object.
feedAmount	integer	No	1	Positive integer (>= 1).
childGrowthDelay	integer	No	-24000	Must be <= 0.
breedDelay	integer	No	6000	Must be >= 0.

Example

{
  "resourcefulbees:breeding/v1": {
    "families": [
      {
        "weight": 10.0,
        "chance": 1.0,
        "parent1": "resourcefulbees:ruby_bee",
        "parent2": "minecraft:bee"
      }
    ],
    "feedItems": "minecraft:poppy",
    "feedReturnItem": {
      "id": "minecraft:bucket",
      "count": 1
    },
    "feedAmount": 1,
    "childGrowthDelay": -24000,
    "breedDelay": 6000
  }
}

Family objects

Field	Type	Required	Default	Range
weight	number	No	10.0	>= 0
chance	number	No	1.0	0.0 through 1.0
parent1	resource identifier	Yes	none	Bee identifier
parent2	resource identifier	Yes	none	Bee identifier

The child is not encoded in each family object. Resourceful Bees injects the child identifier from the bee file currently being loaded.

Feed predicates

feedItems uses the same compact registry-predicate forms as other Resourceful Bees fields:

"minecraft:poppy"

"#minecraft:flowers"

[
  "minecraft:poppy",
  "minecraft:dandelion"
]

Item stack templates

An item stack template can be a compact item identifier:

"minecraft:bucket"

or an expanded object:

{
  "id": "minecraft:bucket",
  "count": 1,
  "components": {}
}

Expanded objects require id. count defaults to 1 and must be from 1 through 99. components defaults to an empty component patch and remains registry-extensible.
