Ian Stubbington Posted September 20, 2025 Report Posted September 20, 2025 Hi, on our private server we tried to capture some chickens with wicker basket traps, but after many, many days of checking, nothing. We sat and watched as the hens pecked around and looked like they were bouncing off the traps; they never entered the trap, never took the flax grain. So we switched to creative mode, spawned a few hens and a couple of roosters in our pen, and tried that way. (switched back to survival right after) They never eat the grain; they never lay eggs. They run around like lunatics if we get close, and the cockerels do their doodle-oo thing, but that's all. Are we doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for your help.
LadyWYT Posted September 20, 2025 Report Posted September 20, 2025 Welcome to the forums! Are you using mods? Particularly mods like Herbarium for Wildcraft? There was an issue with those where animals wouldn't eat from troughs or take bait for traps. 1
Ian Stubbington Posted September 20, 2025 Author Report Posted September 20, 2025 Uh oh, yeah we are using both of those. They are just so good.

They are, but unfortunately, that is likely the cause of the problem. Herbarium received an update recently, but I'm not sure that the issue is fully fixed. The Wildcraft mods themselves aren't yet updated for 1.21, save for the trees module, I think. There is an unofficial mod that makes the Wildcraft mods function on 1.21, but that's really about all it does...makes the mods run. It doesn't really fix any underlying issues that might exist. In any case, you can try checking for any updates of the mods you're using, and seeing if installing any applicable updates fixes the problem. Otherwise, I would recommend starting over and leaving out the mods that are causing problems. 1
