About this Mod
Why this mod exists
The golden dandelion is great. Feed it to a baby mob, and it stays small forever. The problem? Once the particles fade, there's no way to tell at a glance which of your animals are permanently locked and which will eventually grow up. This mod fixes that with a single, unobtrusive icon.
What this mod does
A golden dandelion icon floats above the head of any age-locked baby mob. By default it only shows while crouching, but you can switch it to always visible, or only visible when you're holding a golden dandelion. The height of the icon is also adjustable in the config menu.
Compatibility
This mod is tested with multiple performance mods like Sodium and ImmediatelyFast, and it doesn't cause any conflicts with them.
This mod is also tested with multiple shaders using Iris, and also doesn't cause any conflicts.
Requirements
- Fabric API
- YACL (optional, required for changing the config)
