Does anyone think there should be a knife in 1.8 that lets you to be able to get chicken, beef, and lamb meat from passive mobs, while any other method of killing will result in their usual drops? With the exception of pig, which will ALWAYS result in pork (for the sake of the first few nights...)?
I like the idea. So pigs will always give meat when you kill them. But a butcher knife gives you more meat. And with the other meats, Chicken gives you feathers when you kill it, but with a butcher knife it gives you meat. Same thing with cows.
I think there has been some confusion. Some people's responses are saying more meat with this knife or 1 meat with anything else when I think the OP meant you only get meat if you use the knife and only get the other drop (Cows and leather, Chicken and feathers, Sheep and Wool) if you kill them normally.
I like the concept, but don't think we need a new item. The sword can suffice for it. Not like it is hard to punch cows to death in this game if you wanted leather instead.

well, the whole "more meat from pigs" idea sounds good because normally just killing them could possibly mutilate the rest of the meat (making it inedible). using a special tool would allow you to more efficiently butcher the pig for more usable meat

That one makes sense as pork is the only thing you get from pigs anyways. I would also like the idea of making no wool drop from sheep when killed, and then follow the same rule as a pig. One piece of sheep meat for killing it, and 2-3 for killing it with the specified item. That would make it harder to get beds and add a bit of challenge.

I also wonder how we will be able to harvest the mew meats. Probably with the sword, but this would be cooler.
BTW Nice name.
