Selective breeding has been something that humans have been doing since we learned to domesticate animals. It brings benefits like faster growing and stronger animals. Minecraft's only selective breeding was that you could cross the colors of wool on sheep. After scraping together what I learned from Biology, I was able to put together a gene system that is passed down from the parents in breeding to the offspring. It is based on alleles, the crosses are accurate (http://en.wikipedia..../Punnett_square). Breeding can bring different effects like faster reproduction rates to enhanced drop amounts.
Features:-Genes added to wolves, sheep, pigs, and cows.-More drops from animals that have the correct genes (affected by the "dd" allele, homozygous dominant ("DD") being the best).

Selective Breeding Guide:
Selective breeding is the process in which you take animals with favorable qualities and mate them with each other to obtain offspring with favorable traits. This can result in accelerated growth, the ability to reproduce more often, higher drops, and more as I continue work. For example, you have two pigs. You breed them and kill the parents (because this is Minecraft), and if the parents drop a larger amount of pork (up to 4) then you know the child has favorable genes. You can repeat this process with another pair of pigs and when you have a good child to mate, you bring the two together and you now have a good gene pool to work with.For more information on selective breeding, look at: http://en.wikipedia....ective_breeding
Specific Breedable Traits:
Sheep have wool color dependent on their genes, so you can breed sheep that are homozygous dominant on both the CC and VV alleles, and they will almost always have trippy colored wool.
Wolves have an increased tame chance instead of increased drops, and they also have increased damage "resistance" if bred properly.
Growth Hormones (and their side effects):
Growth hormones can make things go MUCH more quickly, but they are not without a drawback. When you inject an animal, it's growth rate will go up (it will grow twice as fast on the first injection), but it will also have an increased toxicity level. Each injection has a chance of killing the animal instantly and the toxicity will never leave it. In addition, some toxicity is passed on to offspring so you will need to breed it out if you want to be safe.
The Euthanizer:
The Euthanizer is a tool/weapon that is used to kill all animals in one right click. Each euthanizer has 32 uses and it stacks up to 4 for ease of use. It is the most "humane" way to end your animals.
The DNA Tester:
This is a creative mode only item, it does not have a crafting recipe, but if you want to use it then you can switch to creative mode and grab it out of the tools tab. It gives you a lot of information about the animals that you are using it on (including their genes and age). There are one or two genes that do not have any effects in animals. If people want me to make this craftable, then I will in the next update.
Genes and Their Effects:
As a rule of thumb (and to keep things simple), dominant (capitalized) genes are better."dd": This gene controls drops, dominant genes give greater drops"tt": Increases tame chance (wolves only)"gg": Growth rate"rr": Reproduction rate"hh": Damage resistance (wolves only)The number at the end of the genes is the toxicity if you use the DNA tester.

Requirements:This mod uses Risugami's Modloader, it is necessary.
You MUST install the mod to your minecraft.jar, it overwrites the files of most animals.

Please report any bugs or suggestions! Also, I am trying to keep this mod somewhat realistic (within the bounds of Minecraft), so suggesting wild things like creeper breeding will not get you very far.
Two words came to mind when I read this: Amazing and complicated. Downloading.
Thank you for the feedback, I was aiming for a technical mod that would make a nice background addition to Minecraft that could also be powerful when focused on.
I've decided to change the name, GeneCraft sounded better than Genetic Modification Mod.
I Can Make a Mod Review. Not Today But Soon. I Will PM You The Link So You Can Post It Here. Also PM Me With Details on How it Works in Plain English please
This is a great idea, I won't DL it now cause MC is updating tomorrow, but probably after that! Also, do you plan on making more genes for animals? Like maybe different skins for cows, or a change in size along with more drops. And for wolves, perhaps larger teeth and higher attack strength. Also is possible, change the models somehow to express the alleles, if possible.
Nice, but I think youre making it too easy for people. Correct me if Im wrong, but a dominant gene takes control of what actually happens. For example, Dd would yield the same increased drop rate as DD and the animals would only have a normal drop rate when they are dd.
Therefore the majorty of the animals you meet should have increased drop rate already, which kind of disrupts the purpose of selective breeding if you already expect to get the better result (~66.6%)

you should make it to where you can breeed hostile mobs with wolves to tame them with something
Not only can you selectively breed for better resources, you can also breed for size, shape, colour, pattern, spots, milk and egg production, and soon temperament will be included as well. The mod also includes better looking models, grazing mechanics and realism improvements, all with a very vanilla feel.
