The animal farm is an important base for the survival of minecraft after mining, this activity provides us with many benefits such as meat (food) materials for new weapons, tools, ammunition or objects (feathers, leather, wool etc.).
However, like mining or wood harvesting, it has its techniques and its way of doing it and that is why I will help you how to manage the hatchery and some techniques, Let's go there.
First we will need to know which animals we will need to raise since we will need some materials to attract them and to come to our corral, here is a list of the animals with their respective food:
- Chicken: Seeds.
- Cow: Wheat.
- Pork: Carrots, potatoes and beets
- Sheep: Wheat.
- Mushroom: Wheat.
- Wolf: Meats (Steak, Chops, Lamb etc.), if you plan to tame them use bones.
- Rabbit: Carrots
- Horses: golden apples
Since we knew with what we can attract the different minecraft animals, now let's see what they can contribute:
- The chicken can give us feathers, eggs and .... chicken, the feathers can be used to create arrows and a book with a feather, the eggs can be used to make a delicious cake or ... throw them.
- The cow can give us its respective meat, milk and leather, the leather can be used to make an armor of this material, and various objects such as a frame for articles and books.
- The pig is solely and exclusively to generate food, possibly the most monotonous breeding of the game.
- The sheep can provide us with its meat and the wool that is necessary to create the bed, the rest of its uses are only decorative, such as flags and rugs.
- The mushroom is like the normal cow, only you can use a bowl to scoop out mushroom soup.
- Wolves do not provide anything when you kill them, only that you can multiply them to create a true army of death.
- Rabbits, although they were introduced very recently, can be an effective substitute for the cow since they provide us with their skin that with it we can create the leather, it also gives us its ... rabbit?, It can be used to create a stew rabbit.
- The horses cruelly if we kill them, they provide us with leather but if you do not want to kill them, you can ride them to travel in the inhospitable and hostile lands of minecraft and raise them to share mounts with your friends.
Now you know what its benefits are, we are almost finished but we will only touch two aspects, the breeding itself and some techniques that you can use, let's start with the breeding already fully:
In case the animals you want to raise is not that they need a lot of care (although it sounds cruel), only the sheep if they need to have some care, you can use scissors to shear the sheep but obviously they will lose their fur, for this you will need to raise them in a place where the grass grows and is abundant.
To finish, I will teach you some techniques that you can use:
• Undoubtedly you will need a space to breed, the bigger and "SAFE" it is, the better and you will obtain more benefits and materials • You will need an entrance to collect the food and materials of the animals, you may run the risk that by open this entrance you miss an animal, if you want to avoid this ... place the entrance away from the animals or you can even make the entrance by means of stairs. • If you apply the saying "time is short", you can create a small warehouse next to your farm, this will greatly speed up production.
I hope this little help that I have given you has served you, good luck with your upbringing.
