 * That's actually just the way they are, like the player skin's hat, they float next to the head. – ultradude25 ( T 03:15, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Three pieces of leather?
I've only seen 0, 1, and 2 pieces from a single cow. Is three pieces very rare or could it be a mistake? Pareidolon 22:16, 14 April 2011 (UTC)


 * i have recieved 3 lots many times, i guess your just unlucky (triangle1)
 * I have yet to see this happen. Confirmation (code or video) would be nice. Darkid 16:13, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Proper udders
Cows have always have those, that's why I removed it from this article. I can give you proof.  Isn't it also in the cows textures?

How often can you Milk a Cow?
Does a cow's milk regenerate? I never seem to be able to get multiple buckets off of one animal, no matter how long I wait. Am I just unlucky, or clicking poorly? --NinjaKitty 16:49, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Cows give milk randomly when you click them with a bucket, however if they are in water they will always produce milk for every click of a bucket

THE ABOVE IS A MYTH (not sure about the water bit)

If you trap a cow, immobile in a pen and stand under it, by which I mean, the cow is standing above the level of your head, you will NEVER fail to milk it. There is NO random aspect, no right place to click, there is no regeneration. To clarify: Cow stands at y:70 in an enclosed space and cannot move. You stand at y:68 bucket in hand and will NEVER fail to milk it (unless you fail to actually click the cow...)

Milking in SMP
No matter how much I try, I can't seem to milk a cow in smp. I've tried standing two blocks under it and trying to milk it away from it. Nothing's working. 76.121.162.74 17:12, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Skin 'Glitch'
Not a glitch exactly, it's more of a design error. With the default skin, the bottom of the torso is not set quite right - The udder is offset by one pixel to the cow's right, making it look lopsided in relation to the 3D udder. This has been around since the cow was introduced. It's noticeable when looking at the cow from below. 131.251.252.22 02:01, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

No cows spawning
I have literally no cows at all spawning anywhere on my minecraft world, this is the same for Squid, sheep and pigs also. does anyone know why this is happening, and how I can get some to spawn? I have to use eggs just to have any chickens in my world.

As of beta 1.8 animals don't spawn anymore. Read the spawning section for more info.--
 * No, as of beta 1.8, animals don't "Despawn" anymore. Therefore once the limit has been reached in your world, no more animals will spawn unless you find where they have all wandered off to and kill them. --HexZyle 03:32, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I totally believed that animals don't despawn anymore, until I looked at my cow pen which has only ever had one cow in it (couldn't find any others except across the ocean), and found the pen empty. There's nowhere it could have gone except despawning, and hostile mobs can't get into my fortress since there's an 8-block-high stone brick wall with an overhang surrounding the whole area and the inside is well lit everywhere. 78.105.8.153 02:34, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
