Goddamn is everyone that clicked yes dumb or has started playing MC in 1.0.0?!?
No, we're not dumb. We just disagree with you.
Personally, I like breeding because it gives me absolute control of animals. Before, it was hit or miss depending on whether or not the animals you wanted spawn. This made it frustrating when one was coming back from a great mining trip with a full inventory and came across animals. I cannot count the number of times animals despawned when I went back for them.
In my opinion, more control over your world can never be a bad thing.
I have noticed how annoying and pointless animal breeding is. I liked it better when animals spawned and you didn't have to worry about killing animals. I liked in beta where you could just walk around and not worry about animals not respawning. It takes a big aspect out of the game. In my opinion, this needs to be fixed before biomes. It is annoying and it takes a big thing out of the game. I think we can all agree with this. I like a lot of things they added in 1.0 just not the animal breeding.
I rather like the aspect of Breeding. It is fun, and adds a realistic element to the game. However, I do not like that you have to grow wheat to do it.
Animal breeding is fun. I mean, to have small baby animals walking around is awesome!. And all you need is two cows, and some wheat and you have a rather large supply of steak and armor. It's similar to mob towers, except produces less resources and can actually fit in your backyard :smile.gif:.
The only think i don't like about it is that you have to have wheat to do it. Growing wheat is a pain, especially when and incoherent cow walks all over it and I have to sit there and watch thinking: "You stupid cow, you just lost your food!" But "NOOOOO! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" is more accurate. But, putting up some fence is not that hard, and farming is one of my favorite things to do in the game. And if you don't like it so much, then make bread out of your wheat, and don't feed it to your animals.
And this whole issue about animals despawning is just silly. Animals despawn a lot less now. Before the update, it would be like "Oh, hey I have a chicken in my fence. Coool." And then you would sleep, and wake up and be wondering where your chicken friend went. But now, it is more like "I have a chicken in my yard" and it would stay there much longer.
Sure breeding gives more control, and adds realism. But it gets boring. This does not make me lazy. Also, your animal farm gets crowded aand when you release them, they stay in one area.
I like the idea of breeding, but I don't like that it isn't optional if you want to get meat, leather, and wool. Well, technically it is optional, but I don't feel like having to go farther and farther everyday just to find new animals to hunt, so breeding is the most efficient way of spawning animals. I'm not an adventurer, I stay in one place when I play the game, so to me breeding is the only way to spawn animals. My ideal vision for animal spawning is that breeding stays in the game, but animals are able to rarely spawn naturally on sunlit (not torchlit) chunks, but not to a point where breeding is useless.
i like the breeding idea. most of the complainers whine because of the lack of animals and they just cant dozy on outside and kill tons of stuff. besides with breeding you can easily create massive farms and have all your animals in place instead of running around a killing them all back in the day. and now i have more cake than i know what to do with.
It's funny how you think that going back to the old system would fix everything.
The old system was flawed, overpowered, and unrealistic. If you're too lazy to simply gather a couple animals and give them wheat, then don't update. The community said the game was too easy, so here's what we get. And I like it.
You Know What's Also Annoying? Titles Capitalized Like This.
It's proper English to capitalize titles of things like that.
I don't like the idea in smp. SMP is a lot different because the animals despawn every server reload. You know how annoying it is for animals to disappear while trying to breed them?
They never regrowed wool... at best they just respawned after despawning...
They did all the way back in Survival Test (back in 2009; before Indev, Infdev, and Alpha.) The feature is coming back in the next update, as mentioned in one of the forum news posts.
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
Mostly moved on. May check back a few times a year.
1. It gets a little boring. you feed the animals, they grow, and you get food. So fun (sarcastic). Hunting is way more fun and enjoyable.
2. When you release animals, they all cluster in one area. So in some areas, you have a lot of aniamls, and some areas there are barely any anials.
3. Animals don't respawn. This makes no sense to me. That takes a lot of way from the game.
4. It is repetitive. Animal breeding is the same thing over and over again. Where as when you went hunting, it was always different and way more fun.
Solution: There should be a button in the options menu that lets you chose if you want aniamls to respawn or not. So that way the people who think animal breeding is the most BORING thing ever can choose not to do it.

The only real solution to this is for you to look for a mod, or request that an animal behavior mod be written.
Take a look at the poll at the top of this thread -- there is absolutely no way that Mojang will change the behavior of animal spawning for the small minority that doesn't like it.

There doesn't even need to be an option if animals were separated into tamed and untamed (like wolves were.) Hunting or breeding should just be a matter of play style. One's harder but more fun, and the other is easy but tedious.
I don't hate the idea of breeding, I just don't like the way it's done right now.

1. Yes it is boring, but it gives us more control, we arent cavemen with a spear hunting for food, now we are advanced farmers.
2. I know it is like this but i dont see the problem.
3. Okay, they now spawn when we generate new chunks, what we know is that the minecraft world is almost infinite,an estimation is 8 times the size of the earth, i dont know what would be the proper formula to get the number of animals per world, but im almost sure with a world 8 times size of earth we can get atleast 5 - 10 million animals which is more than enough.
4. Then go hunt, as i said the world in minecraft is infinite, Inf world = Inf animals, go hunt an do what you want, this is minecraft, you do what you want to do, that is what makes this game so good.
How can you seriously suggest that hunting is harder and more fun. With hunting you just run around like an idiot hitting an animal with a sword. Not very hard. With breeding you have to actually build an entire farm and then manage livestock. That's more of a challenge and more rewarding.
With animal breeding you get wheat and click one button and animals respawn. I like hunting better.
Must... suppress... rage... at stupid... myopic... jackassery...
No, InwardLaywer29, we do not all agree with this. Plenty of people like breeding. Breeding is a godsend to people like me who build and live in massive underground layers, but still want the ingredients to make cake on-hand at all times. If you need materials in large quantities from animals then breeding is the way to go. I also don't want to have to run up to the surface to look for chickens because I'm out of arrows.
Stop assuming that your way of playing Minecraft is the one and only playstyle for the entire Minecraft community. Stop trying to speak for people with no evidence whatsoever that they share your opinions in any way, shape, or form. Try thinking for a few seconds before asking for a major feature to be stripped from the game.
That's only annoying if someone posts like that. Titles are supposed to be capitalized as such, barring words like 'of' and 'the'.
Vidzm is right. You, Sjaelen and everyone who gave you Rep for that, not. He wasn't talking about the Title when you see it when writing in this post here. It's title is indeed written with every word capitalized, but you see that only in the forum, not the thread itself.
Tl;dr : InwardLawyer29, Stop This Ultra-Annoying Eye Sore Immediately. It's very bad style and everyone who does this is simply too selfcentered to admit he doesn't care if everyone else is pissed off about this( This = You yell every single word when written capitalized. )

Cool Story Bro. Oh and by the way this post was to see if other people thought animal breeding was annoying too. I didn't know people had to be rude like you. And maybe you like breeding because your to darn lazy to go to the surface and get materials.

Looks like someone did't pay attention in writing class. I am sorry for captalizing a title riight. Seriously it doesn't mean I yell it, it just means I am using the right way to captalize something. Oh and can you focus on the topic, rather than going out of your way to be rude because you don't like my opinion. I mean honestly who cares about the title. FAIL.
I think your mad because I know how to write and you don't.
I like animal breeding mostly because I have ALWAYS had issues with mobs spawning. Like I kill a few pigs and cows in the area, and then they never come back and I have to go exploring for crazy distances just to find some animals...if it wasn't for being able to farm bread before animal breeding was implemented I never would be able to regenerate my health.

More fun? It's the SAME thing over and over again. You hit it once, it runs in circles for a few seconds then stops. It's more time consuming because you actually have to go out and find the stupid things (that almost never respawn in any of my worlds, even when I played in alpha/beta or anything). I don't find too much enjoyment in hunting something that can't even fight back. I think that is boring.
At least with farming you can always have food right there when you need it, and you basically have endless supply of cake ingredients whenever you want it.
Bottom line, everyone has their opinion on the matter. This is mine. You have every right to be a little upset about it, but based on your previous posts you sound REALLY mad about it. Calm down a little, it's a game, and it's not going to be perfect. Just deal with it.
