Talk:Breeding

Fixed a bunch
Fixed a bunch, removed sub note, will be making automated animal farms and mass breeding their own page if any new methods are thought up. Would appreciate additional (helpful) references in that area! (TheCakeisAlive 05:07, 10 October 2011 (UTC))

Eggs for all animals.
It doesn't really make much sense having eggs for cows or pigs, maybe calf, (Yum!) piglet, lambs for them instead. Timberdoodle 11:08, 25 September 2011 (UTC)


 * It's Minecraft. Cubic world and punching trees doesn't make sense in first place. Im fine with the eggs. — MiiNiPaaT 11:50, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
 * You know what else doesn't make sense? The fact that all chickens and cows are female. --Trollrilla 04:06, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * And yet they somehow can breed. Yes, eggs for every kind of animal would be nice addition to this. — MiiNiPaaT 07:13, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
 * You know what would be a very cool idea? If you planted an egg and a chicken tree grew! --Trollrilla 07:19, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Breeding snow golems
I set up a test server with a friend, and I spammed a bunch of snow golems in creative. I then proceeded to use wheat on them, and I was surprised that it worked. This will probably be fixed after the prereleases but I'm sure it works as of now. Codyfun123 00:12, 30 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, they don't breed, but it still displays the effect (which goes away after a while), which I expect to be fixed. Codyfun123 00:16, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Wolfs dont seem to breed correctly
When I found a pack of wolves I fed them wheat and they entered love mode. But they displayed no interest in each other and when they were tamed they refused to enter love mode at all. I believe thats a bug The wolves also refused to follow me while holding wheat

Already easily exploitable...
You can easily farm experience orbs (as of pre-release 2) by simply growing wheat to continually grow more mobs to kill; netting you a very nifty amount of experience orbs in a short amount of time...Whether this is going to be final as of the 1.9 official release may be unknown, but it will certainly be a very easy way to gain levels once the experience meter is implemented, as well as meats and hides, if you so please. - K12machinima, 12:19, 10-1-2011

Very probably (I sound silly :D) that will be fixed by checking something like this:

ExperienceOrb="death" true

if

animal="baby"

or

animal="bred"

then

ExperienceOrb="death" false

Chickens in fences
I've noticed that most animals stop following you if you change the item in your hand from wheat to something else. The chicken will follow you if you get close to it with wheat, but will follow you regardless of the block in your hand once it's started following you. This is fixed by getting out of range of the chicken, then approaching it with a block other than wheat in your hand. Edit: Actually, I've noticed that this only occurs whenever the chickens are in a fence, and you're standing outside of the fence. Cacti11 21:06, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
 * This could relate to the "in-a-block" bug that also occurs with any block that has transparent parts, such as doors, pressure plates, buttons, stairs, and slabs Cool12309(T 22:18, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

babies
can someone add a baby category to the page? --A Big Mojang Lover 20:39, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Why wouldn't you do it? Jedi in, um, I forgot. 11:21, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Growing
Babies grow to adults just overtime or they need some conditions: for example grass and light? Also I'd like to know if they have separate entity id. Xeoxer 18:50, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Missed 1.9pre4?
In the top of the article, it says that breeding is only possible in pre-releases 2 and 3, although 1.9pre4 has been out for a while. Has it been removed, or just missed from this article? 86.179.155.59 15:17, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I re-worded it to make more sense. (though its my ip, not my username.) -- Robodoggy 01:58, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
