Enrichment - gkazan/ZAWA GitHub Wiki

Enrichment is an animal care mechanic in ZAWA. Like hunger and thirst, enrichment has 20 "points" in the data book that can be added to or depleted.

Enrichment isn't totally necessary for animals, and they can survive without it. However, animals that are low on enrichment will receive less "nutrition" (half of the hunger points) from the food they eat.

For example, a harpy eagle that eats a raw chicken should gain 2 hunger points, but if it is low on enrichment, it will only gain 1. Keeping your animals busy with enrichment items means you have to feed them less often and use up less food.

There are three types of enrichment items: items, blocks and entities. By default, animals will look for enrichment blocks within 10 blocks of themselves. They will use enrichment entities as soon as they detect them. Items have to be used on the animal by the player.
