There definately should be a way to preserve animals, especially in an active farm.
Go out and get the pig meat every morning from the pigs in the pen, milk the cows in the barn, and collect the eggs from the chickens.
With the current mob system, all of the animals would go poof overnight, forcing you to go out in the wild to find an animal.
This would mean that there would have to be tons of animals in the wild for your ease, but that also means:
15 pigs shoving you off cliffs, tons of impatient 'MOO's 'BAA's and 'BAWK's echoing everywhere, etc etc.
With this idea, mobs can be more rare in the wild!
No more noisy animals!

EDIT:
To everyone saying 'this would ruin SMP', you have a minor point.
However, as soon as they're implemented, I can 100% guarentee that someone will make an 'anti-animal tag anti-grief' mod.
Animal Tags will be added to the list of banned items everywhere (except farm servers) as quickly as Flint and Steel were.
So, that isn't an issue.
To everyone saying 'not on hostile mobs', if it's not forced upon you, why vote against it? I'd sure as hell like to have a Creeper Farm that doesn't explode when I enter it, but it doesn't affect you in any way.
1. Non player characters (no idiots) and not everyone can make a super epic mega server with wars going on
2. this is a different mode entirely so you can do survival while i do towns
3. Look at number 2
1: NPCS are idiots, and everyone can join a 'super epic mega server with wars going on'. Everyone.
2: He's talking about MC overall, not 'survival mode'. He has a point.
3: That has nothing to do with it. Adding 'NPC Mode' to Minecraft would take up memory, resources and time attempting to code it, so it would have to be profitable in return.
People paying just for a different mode instead of survival is good, because if there wasn't that mode, we'd be making less money overall. If the other mode is a complex, unfun 'Tycoon' that doesn't go with the rest of the game at all (You don't see anyone paying extra for WoW: INDUSTRIALIST, do you?) then you would feel bad spending months coding it if the end result was a failure, that didn't bring anything horrible into the game, as it's optional to play it, but it didn't bring in anything good, either.
Tldr, a good extra-mode would make people buy the game just so they could play it. Like, extra content to the game.
This means it would have to be easy for new users for them to like it.
The new users could go:
Minecraft? I don't like fantasy-hunting-
wait, what's this on the back
Oooh, Minigolf mode! It looks non-complicated, and I love minigolf!
If we have NO extra modes:
Minecraft? I don't like fantasy-hunting games.
*moves on*
If we have extra-complicated extra modes:
Minecraft? I don't like fantasy-hunting
wait, what's this on the back
An algebraic calculator cell-restructor mode?
Well, uh, I don't know. I guess I don't like the game overall.
*moves on*
We'd want the extra modes to attract new users for this reason.
If only the users that have already grasped the game can play 'Npc Mode', then Minecraft doesn't earn any extra profit, as they have already bought the game for survival mode.
Well, pretty much everything in the 'Terrain' folder is good (aside from some small stuff I'd like to address privately), but what about 'Mobs' and 'Items'?
I'd turn Wheat into Soy, and give the bowl a cool china texture.
Also, domesticated cows and robotic monsters. :biggrin.gif:
Pork meat would be yummy strips of bacon.
Water bucket would be bottled spring water, and milk bucket would be a glass jug of milk.
The spanish link is broken. I did it for you guys but it seems it's gone broken. Someone else can do it but if not, I'll go ahead. :smile.gif:
Maybe it's still somewhere in the thread. The same thing happened for (Brazilian) Portuguese. As soon as I get a chair and some minutes I'll update the link list.

Hi Cotti, I did half of Irish (Gaeilge) a while back, could you add it to in progress? Thanks :smile.gif: I'll let you know when I get through the other half.
Updating soon, and thank you!

I'm the secretary here, go send these translations to Notch. That's your first deed of CEO.
Next, TP his house and threaten him to a loogie if he ignores the email - which he will.

Cool, I'd like to help with some little puzzles and some really cool run-down apartments.
I'm the host of styx city, a huge server all about amazing building, so you can take that as my anti-grief certificate. I have it in a frame on the wall.
elephantitis and mumps, and other kinds of mass swelling (especially on genitals) gives me a huge, huge, huge huuuuge erection whenever I just think about it.

Or lay a sword on a table without breaking it?
Perhaps you'd like to place an actual book on a bookcase, or put an egg on a table.
Perhaps put a vine-grape on a tree to attract some wolves!
But when you press Q to put it somewhere, it disappears and falls down!
This is why I suggest:
The stick-on!
From this point on, you press 'E' replacing right-click on use-able items, and right click places it like a block.
The item would work like an entity once placed; You can walk through it and it faces the direction you're facing.
Imagine the tops of torches.
You'd press Right Click again to de-tatch.
This would serve aesthetics and machinimas greatly, and I don't see anything bad coming out of it.
How about you? Vote!

There's a huge factory and warehouse less then an hour away, and I scope about their fancy cars and wooden crates whenever I'm bored.
Also, all good texturepacks have contributors. a-wink, a-wink.
I'm going to check out the item.png and see what needs work.

I heard turtle on this thread, so I've returned!
Hopefully my new stream will go better (as in a sense of people not threatening to strangle me) if I make some changes.
Perhaps an SMP-stream of top-quality servers, or 'Monster FreakOut'. Perhaps 'DiamondHunt', attempting to achieve the goal of 64 diamonds.

Styx has been low on my top-priority list lately as we've been so quiet for the first time in months.
No griefing (aside from TNT cannon, cough cough), no big projects, no drama...
sort of.
This is awkward.
