Animal Farming

Animal Farming is when you use Passive mobs as a renewable source of items, such as Cows for Milk, from the animal which is kept in a confined space, such as a ring of fences around an area.

Animals for Farming

 * Sheep - can be used for Wool if you have Shears.
 * Cow - can be used for Milk if you have a Bucket.
 * Chickens - will give you Eggs at random.
 * Mooshrooms - can be used for Mushroom Stew and Milk if you have a Bowl and a Bucket respectively.

Modes

 * 1) One quick way to Animal Farm is to mine a 3-block low hole, then build a ladder down. You can coax Sheep and Cow using Wheat into this trap. Make sure this trap has grass blocks in it, or the Sheep will not be able to regenerate wool.
 * 2) A more professional way would be to construct a fenced in area, then get Cow and Sheep into it.
 * 3) Another although complicated way is to clear all the grass blocks except a few, and animals will spawn there. This method is not recommended and it is time consuming.
 * 4) A more cruel way to Animal Farm would be to have wheat, seeds, and carrots ready to breed animals, than kill the parents once two babies have been made. This method is useful for non-renewable items such as meat and leather.

Trivia

 * Animal Farming can provide a constant source of items, provided you don't kill the animal.
 * Animal farming can also be done for hostile mobs, and is done in a Mob Spawner (a Dark room).
