I was thinking about making a barn because of the new mating system. So I figured that with the fences and gates it would be fun. You should be able to make hay bales with like wheat and string to make hay bales. You can place it and sheep or cows can go over and munch of whenever they would like. It would go away after a while though. This idea is more of a way to have barns look nicer. :biggrin.gif: what do you think?
If it were used for breeding, there would have to be a way to keep mobs from multiplying out of control, like limit number of mobs per junk, or each hay bale has 10 uses over a long span of time. If it's just for decoration, however, there shouldn't be a point in it disappearing. I think it's a decent idea either way.
you are trying to do breading, but the animals keep walking away while you try and build an encloser. to stop this you just plop down a hay bale and all the animals nearby head towards it. You finish your encloser and now can begin breading.
I do not think hay bales should cause animals to bread though. its already super easy. all you have to do is click two animals with wheat.
I do like hay bales as decor as well, and I think the reduced (negated) fall damage idea that has been suggested before would be another bonus.
I'd prefer the purely decorational version. Well, purely decorational plus a more compact way of storing wheat, that is; I'd make 9 units of wheat craftable into 1 bale, which in turn would be craftable back into 9 units of wheat.
That said, having animals eat "classic" wheat lying around (with same effects as when fed by the player) might be neat, too - you could then feed them automatically using a dispenser.

The theme of what? A barn?

Um, all animals are.
