I believe it is rather silly to be hunting for pigs, cows, and chickens. When someone says that they are going hunting, you usually think that they are going hunting for Deer or some wild animals like that. Pigs, cows, sheep, and chickens are domestic animals. My idea is not to remove these domestic animals from the game, but to add a new feature with them.
Hunting will be more difficult, making agriculture a better choice for a sustainable source of food. The new hunting animals are deer and hogs. Both animals will fight back if attacked, and hogs are mildly aggressive. When you get near a deer, the deer will run away. Deer won't ignore you until you get close to them - they still can detect you from far away. When they see you, they will be more cautious. If you get close to them, they will run away, a little faster than you can sprint. They can only run a while until they run out of energy, like you. But these animals have fur and don't sweat, so it takes much longer for them to cool down. Killing animals with close range weapons works, but as they run a lot, it would be much better an easier to kill them with an arrow to the heart or the head. Boars are similar, and they are the non-domestic version of pigs in the game. Boars will occasionally charge you if they are afraid, knocking you down. Non-domestic animals cannot be bred.
What about the domestic animals? Well, I was thinking. They shouldn't spawn at all in the world, but you can go to NPC-villages or farms and they will trade you domestic animals. Then, the animals will follow you until you order then to stop following them because you are in a pig pen or whatever you want. Domestic animals can be bred, so you will only need 2; a female and a male. Female cows are dairy cows, and they do not provide as much meat and hide as the male cows, but they are needed for breeding and you can harvest milk from them. Male cows are just like the ones we went "hunting" for.
This is a very good Idea! I was thinking about this too because it was weird that minecraft is filled with farm animals! And hunting took no skill at all. It would be awesome to trade with the villagers and get animals like cows and sheep or raid the village and get all animals for free! :wink.gif: lol. Hunting deer and Boars would be so much cooler and more realistic. But I doubt this will ever happen. Notch already had the game like that and for him to change so much of the game is very unlikely. Notch is not really a person who does these things. So...all we can do is dream...
I know it would seem a waste of ammo but, having to hunt for food with a bow would make it such a Grade-A hunting experience wouldn't it? Since, in this case, your food would run away. That creates a paradox though, since it takes chickens to make arrows which are a food source to boot.
i like the idea of adding huntable animals in the game. i dont like the idea of not having domestic animals not spawn anymore. maybe since they can be bred once captured (i.e. you also don't have to give animals commands to follow, that's what wheat is for), their spawn rate can be nerfed.
the benefits of deer or boar meat? more hearts food bars/energy bars are filled when you eat the cooked version because they're harder to come by.
My issue with meat that gives more hearts is... the fact with the 90% food is regen.
This system makes things like melon slices more efficient than things like steak.
I messed that up too, you get what I mean though right?
For me personally I only carry around one food source and if I carry around steak I tend not to eat it if my food bar is 80% because I feel like it would be a waste but then I tend to die because I have no regen.

I already stated, it's SILLY TO HAVE THEM IN THE WILD. They should be only purchasable / stealable from NPC villages.
