I'd like to see the addition of troughs in the game that allow you to place wheat in them to feed animals so that they can breed. As an example it would allow you to pen up a few animals and get more over time. It'd be similar to the dispenser in that it could hold things (IE food)...
This may be a good idea. The only problem is if they don't stop breeding and take over your world o.O
Notch could set some sort of timer so they can only eat once every 5 minutes or something... also wouldn't it be the players fault for putting say 200 stacks of wheat in the trough instead of say 1 stack? Its just common sense, don't feed something if you don't want it to breed.
Didn't notch set a limit of animals that can spawn in a certain area? Because whenever I try to breed animals I can never breed any more than like 10 - 20.
if you're thinking the trough is to 'feed' the animals, i dont believe they have food bars like we do. i could be wrong.
if its a way to create an auto-breeding system, i dont like this idea. the end result is food. to make food, i believe there should be some key-clicks involved in the 'making' process, not a setup-and-go kinda thing. yes, you can create an egg machine, but that is a result of creativity, not the designers 'giving' you a tool for automated food.

Well I'm guessing after an animal eats the wheat from the trough it would disappear. So it's just as useful as giving the animals the wheat yourself except it'll sit in a trough before they eat it.

While its true it would feed the animals for you... it would not kill them for you and you'd still have to put wheat in the trough, thus its not an automated food producer its just a tool...

Interesting concept... It'd be cool to have something that takes up multiple blocks like the bed does...
