The pasture and incubator grant commands are the main integration surface for shops, crates, quests, battlepasses, NPC rewards, and staff rewards.

Integrations that can evaluate Cobblemon MoLang can instead use the structured [`q.player.daycare`](/mods/mods/betterbreeding/molang.md) API to inspect progress and grant pastures or incubators directly.

Examples:

```
/betterbreeding pasture give Steve shiny 1
/betterbreeding pasture give Steve standard 3
/betterbreeding incubator give Steve premium 1
/betterbreeding incubator give Steve standard 2
```

Existing integrations can continue using `/giveIncubator <player> <template>` to grant a single incubator.
