About

The SetBabyAge command instantly changes a tamed creature's growth stage without waiting for natural maturation. The age value ranges from 0.01 (newly hatched) to 1.0 (fully grown), letting you place a creature at any point in its development cycle.

Target the creature in-game before running the command. This is most practical for testing breeding mechanics, adjusting creatures that were raised on a different server's settings, or quickly advancing hatchlings to adulthood during farm setup. The command requires admin privileges and cheat activation.
