Info

Dependencies

Installation

1. Add Items to Your Framework

For QBCore -- add the following to your shared items:

['cow-feed'] = {['name'] = 'cow-feed', ['label'] = 'Cow Feed', ['weight'] = 100, ['type'] = 'item', ['image'] = 'cow-feed.png', ['unique'] = false, ['useable'] = false, ['shouldClose'] = false, ['combinable'] = nil, ['description'] = 'A feed for cows'},
['milk'] = {['name'] = 'milk', ['label'] = 'Milk', ['weight'] = 100, ['type'] = 'item', ['image'] = 'milk.png', ['unique'] = false, ['useable'] = false, ['shouldClose'] = false, ['combinable'] = nil, ['description'] = 'Just a milk'},

For ESX -- run the SQL in items/items.sql:

INSERT INTO items ("milk", "Milk", 1, 0, 1) VALUES("name", "label", "weight", "rare", "can_remove");
INSERT INTO items ("cow-feed", "Cow Feed", 1, 0, 1) VALUES("name", "label", "weight", "rare", "can_remove");

2. Copy item images from the items/ folder to your inventory resource's image directory.

Features

• Farm Purchasing -- Players can buy farms at predefined locations. Farm names are automatically generated using the owner's RP name. Farms can also be sold back at a configurable tax rate.
• Cow Management -- Buy, sell, feed, and milk cows through an interactive NUI menu. Each farm has a configurable maximum cow capacity based on the number of CowPoints defined.
• Cow Growth System -- Cows start as babies and grow over time through a hunger/experience system. Baby cows cannot be milked until they reach 1000 experience points.
• Milking Cooldown -- Each cow has a milking timer. As cows gain experience, the cooldown decreases. Players receive the configured milk item when milking.
• Hunger System -- Cows lose hunger over time. Players must feed them using the configured feed item. If hunger reaches zero, the cow dies and is removed.
• Milk Selling Mission -- Players can sell milk by interacting with a seller NPC, calling a courier vehicle (Burrito van), and selling all milk items from inventory at the vehicle's back door.
• Map Blips -- Each farm displays a blip on the map. Blip appearance changes when a farm is purchased.
• NUI Interface -- Full browser-based UI for farm management, cow interactions, purchase confirmations, and the sell mission.
• Persistent Data -- Farm and cow data are saved to JSON files (cow_farms.json and cow_animals.json) and persist across restarts.
• Job Restriction -- Optionally restrict farm usage to a specific job.
• Multi-Framework -- Supports both ESX and QBCore frameworks.
• Localization -- All UI and notification strings are translatable via locale files in the locales/ folder.
