Mammal Breeding (Horses, Cows, Pigs, Goats, Sheep, Rabbits):

• By default it takes around 1 Minecraft day for a child to be born (this is configurable).
• The resulting breed is based on chance (but it is the breed of one of the parents).
• Make sure you keep the Mother well fed during pregnancy, otherwise the child will not grow.
• If the mated male and female are separated by more than 30 blocks then the relationship will be severed.
