Valheim's LeashMe Nursery gives your growing livestock somewhere to gather

Building a thriving Viking settlement is a wonderful achievement, right up until the livestock starts multiplying and the younger animals decide that organization is somebody else's problem. Evabs' LeashMe Nursery introduces a dedicated Nursery Beacon that gathers young tamed animals of a selected species into one area. Players designate the species using food, and eligible youngsters make their way toward the nearest reachable beacon with available space. Piglets, wolf cubs, chicks, and larger calves all have their own gathering limits, which means your animal nursery can become something a little more orderly than a fenced enclosure full of wandering confusion.

The beacon isn't a magical livestock prison. Young animals still flee from danger, eggs aren't collected, and adults eventually need to be moved elsewhere as the breeding population grows. The animals also need a passable route to reach their assigned gathering point. Evabs has designed the assignments to persist with the world, while multiplayer servers and clients require matching mod versions. It's a delightfully practical addition to a game where maintaining a farm can sometimes feel like considerably more work than fighting a troll.
