Goats are only a replacement to cows, only for milk And other uses.

So, anything useful?
Yes, if your out of luck of finding cows for milk, and you spot some goats around, you can harvest them for milk! Also, goats can be killed for meat and wool.

Are they passive mobs?
No, they are neutral, meaning if you provoke them, they will attack you tilting there heads down and their weapon as horns.
2 hearts will be dealt on and easy mode.
2/5 hearts are dealt on normal mode
3 hearts are dealt on hard mode.
and on hardcore mode, 3 hearts are dealt.
On peaceful mode, they do not provoke you.

Where will i find these mobs?
Goats will spawn in groups of 4-7 on any mode.
Goats only spawn in plains biome, extreme hills biome and the forest biome.
These mobs can survive another biome though,
Though, if they fall in any body of water and the water is either 2 blocks or lower, they will drown and die.

Plus, killing a goat when it isn't provoked only gives 1-4 experience and when provoked, it gives you none. like wolves but do not attract other goats.

I also want everyone to know, they can be sheared and bred.
Also, if goats be rare or not.

I think this is a good idea! but perhaps goats could be sheared and drop meat. And they could live in Mountian biomes too!

I think goats should be a mix of cows and sheap, good for milk and wool

Add them to Mountain biomes too. IRL goats live in a lot of mountain-y or hill-y areas. Otherwise sounds decent. Make them not provoke in Peaceful though, hit one and you'd die in about 5 seconds due to 5-7 goats all swarming you.

Yes! I forgot about that biome

I like the idea! Maybe it can be hunted by wolves, like sheeps. But still, I support (I'm saying that way too much today)!

If goats give milk, drop meat, and drop wool, they will be the most useful animal in the game, you could just farm goats and not need cows or sheep or pigs, only goats.
Especially if you could shear the goats.

Duuuude, yes to goats. I love goats. I would love goats more than sheep, and that's saying a lot.

What we really need is llamas for Extreme hills biome

Totally not true, goats will be quite rare compared to sheep, cows etc.
And goats will most likely not give wool.

Goats should give meat and milk, but that's all. Less than pigs, and cows also should be nerfed to less meat than pigs but more leather.

Quote from Badprenup

I support this (somewhat) on the condition that they cannot be bred or sheared.

Im not so sure if they can be sheared or bred.
So far, i think they can be bred like any other passive mob. (i.e chicken, pig)
