Track your pets' families

!Panning and zooming across four generations of horses in the Family Tree screen

Family Tree records the parents of every animal you breed. Press H to open the tree and follow any family back through the generations. Tamed pets join on their own. Farm animals join when you breed or name them.

Vanilla Minecraft bred every baby on this page. Scripts set up the scenes.

Breed better horses

!A baby horse's stats beside both parents, with a green triangle for jump and a red one for health

Every horse shows its speed, jump height, and health. A green ▲ marks a stat higher than both parents, a red ▼ one lower than both. Sort your herd by any stat to pick the next pair. Works for horses, donkeys, mules, llamas, and camels.

Plan the next baby

!The breeding planner for two horses: half siblings, each stat's range, and the chance to beat both parents

Pick two animals before you feed them. The planner shows each stat's range, the chance the baby beats both parents, the odds of each color, and how closely the pair is related. Best pairs ranks every pair in your herd.

See relatives in the world

!A horse glows white, with its parents in orange, siblings in green, and children in blue, each labeled

Hold the ` key, left of 1, and look at an animal. Its parents, siblings, children, and grandparents nearby glow in their own colors, with labels. Only you see them.

Colors and genes

!A pink lamb's tree: a white and a red parent, and a note that their wool colors mixed

Find out why a lamb came out pink or a panda brown. Rare colors, like a blue axolotl or a brown mooshroom, get a gold ★.

Works on servers

!One player's tree screen above another player's chest menu, both showing the same family on one server

Install Family Tree on the server and it saves every player's animals with the world. Players with the mod press H. Players without it type /familytree and get chest menus.

Only an animal's owner or an operator can rename it, change its parents, or locate it. By default players see their own animals. A server can let everyone browse every family, with other players' animals view-only and their coordinates hidden.

Server owners get a commented settings file, familytree.* permission nodes for LuckPerms, and a plugin for Paper, Purpur, and Spigot. The server guide lists every setting and node.

Also

• Export any family as a PNG. Exports leave out player names and coordinates.
• Locate pet puts a pet's coordinates in chat.
• Add parents to pets you tamed before installing the mod.
• Works with Jade, WTHIT, JourneyMap, Xaero's Minimap, and Mod Menu. All optional.
• Machine-translated into 14 languages.
• Send feedback in the Family Tree screen sends nothing until you press Send.
