Most people who have paid attention is school know about Mendel's expereiments that created the basics of genetics (this is NOT a bad idea of some sort of thing that belongs in tekkit, just because I said genetics. This would have been used in europe between 1000-1600 AD if the people of europe did not spend so much time fighting). Mendel discovered how some genes show and others don't.
So scince you hopefuly learned this in school, I hope you know what a punnent square is so I'll skip to the examples
Say I had a cow and a mooshroom, and only those animals, and I wanted annother mooshroom.
Then let's say the genes for a cow are donimant, and the genes for a mooshroom are recesive, C is the cow and c is a mooshroom. The cow parent has the genes of CC and the mooshroom has cc. Let's set this up on a punnent square.
MOOSHROOM
c c
C
O C Cc Cc
W C Cc Cc
As we see, they will all be cows, but i desperatley want a mooshroom, yet a creeper blew up the mooshroom so I breed their kids. (ONLY THE KIDS)
OTHER COW
C c
C C CC Cc
O c Cc cc
W
So we see there is a 25% chance of getting a mooshroom from the cow offspring. Then if we breed those kids, preferably a Cc cow and the mooshroom
MOOSHROOM
c c
C C Cc Cc
O c cc cc
W
So lastly with this generation 50% of the children will be mooshrooms. Of corse this is more pratical with horses, to breed faster, stronger and better jummpers. Also I think this should work with sheep, if you want a pink sheep, but you only have one.
If you dis-like this, I don't mind but don't just say no out of peer-pressure.
Minecraft is a game... not a genetics simulator. This would make breeding too complicated... it's better to just feed animals food, have them kiss a little and then make a mini-animal appear out of thin air... no genetics or cross-breeding or anything like that.
Cats.
Good day.
And this is making Minecraft a little too complex for my tastes. How about we just keep it at "food + 2 animals = baby with a 50% chance to be that of one parent and 50% chance to be that of the other" instead?
Stay fluffy~

Also, I am not American, but you were very racist.
For conclusion, Minecraft is not the real world. It is just a blocky game where you can build and destroy stuff, fight and survive.
"sans-serif">2nd: I don't mind that you dislike it, I just thought there needed to be an easier way to breed horses, and something that can confuse players that doesn’t involve redstone.
"sans-serif">3rd: I did not learn this yesterday, I'm 20 and I know you’re going to say that I live with my mother, but I don't, I have a job as a veterinarian
"sans-serif">4th: I just used the cow and the mooshroom as an example. Plus on a server there might be only one mooshroom left, and a player might be too lazy to look for another mushroom biome
"sans-serif">5th: I'm sorry about that joke about American students. I didn't know what I was thinking."sans-serif">Lastly, most Americans hate me just because I’m English, why can’t I just give an insult back?
Back to the thing, I'd like this but it's to advanced for Minecraft for one, and secondly it will be complicated too many players. So if you were to cross breed it would have to be some thing such as a mooshroom and cow since there is no other type of pig or chicken such as a hen nor is there a goat for your sheep-pie, so cross breeding would mostly be useless...and even if it was useful, it would be what BloodyPheonix said, 50/50 chance.
Edit: fixed some minor mistakes...

ModeratorAlso, if someone insults you on here, report them. You don't get to just insult back because this isn't a primary school's playground. There are rules here that everyone needs to follow. If someone else breaks them, report them. If you break them, you bet people will report you. Like train etiquette, it is super simple stuff.
