I just want to know how to safely remove Animania. My friend gave me this server with this mod on it, but if I remove this mod by deleting it, all animals disappear. In config I saw that he replaced all vanilla animals with Animania animals.
Is there a way to revers this process and how?

Hi.

It's nice to see this is going to be implemented.

If I find what code I used to revert sheep, I'll paste it here to help you and others. But it was a bit long time ago.

Thank you.

Well, you can safely remove animania at any time. However, it will take a very long time for vanilla animals to respawn naturally (and light will have to be > 9).

Your best bet is to introduce new animals manually. I could add a reverse engineering option, might be a good idea. That way if you turn off 'replace' it converts the original back to vanilla.

Can I ask why you are removing Animania?

Thank you for fast response.

Well, my girlfriend that plays it. She likes more old sheep. I probably wouldn't have to remove it if only sheep could be vanilla. But she does like everything else.

I have been looking into writing a command that will do that, but i don't have time to learn how mc code works, but from what I could find so far, I should be executing something like this:

/execute @e[type=animania:sheep_dorper] ~ ~ ~ summon sheep ~ ~ ~, /kill @e[type=animania:sheep_dorper]
and replace dorper with:
dorper
dorset
friesian
merino
jacob
suffolk

If this will do the job over whole server (even in parts that are not loaded), then as far as I am concerned you do not have to implement that fix, although it would be nice, just fix my code/say right way to do it.

But in any case, only reason I tend to not use mods at all is because it is almost always server killing to remove them.

Your plan will work. Make sure you turn off Animania Sheep spawning and Replace Vanilla Sheep in the config first, otherwise it will keep happening :)

I will add this 'revert' option into our suggestions list. Let me know how it goes!

Yeah so the plan is a command, probably like /convertanimals that kills all animania animals and replaces them with the vanilla (only in loaded chunks though)
