I would like to see Cows, Chickens, Horses, Birds, Sheep and Fish also.
The animals should have an ability to "Reproduce" so that you cant run out of pigs or horses or whatever. There could be boy versions and girl versions of an animal with differences in the skin. 2 Animals have to be around each other for a certain amount of time, then a small version of that animal will spawn and grow into a larger version and the cycle will start again.
Sheep would be for Cloth, Cows for milk, Chickens for Eggs, etc.
Taming is another thing. Tame Animals to listen to you. Then you could make a farm.
Also, Vicious animals like Wolves or Bears and maybe rare animals like a Golden Chicken or a Unicorn. Or a Giant Bird.
And Different animals would spawn at different times. Wolves would only appear at night while birds are only around during the day.

Sooo... when's the next seecret Friday update topic going up? =[
I know it might be alot of work, and each animal would also have a different AI. But still, these are some things that should be added. I wont be disapointed if they arent because I am faithful that they will come eventually.
Cows would have a slow AI and wouldnt jump.
Horses would run fast for a while, then stop for a short amount of time and walk around in a small area then run again.
Chickens would have a simple AI and would run away if attacked. Also their jump would be lower but longer.
Sheep would be the same as Cows but a tiny bit faster and would move around every second.
Fish is pretty obvious, but they would swim in groups of something less than 4 and scatter if attacked.
Birds fly if you run near them or have a weapon, but walking slow with nothing in hand will not make them run. If you have something like a fruit or a mushroom they will come near you.
Dogs are like Fish, they are in small groups but they attack if you have a weapon and attack any mob that is out besides zombies and skelies.
If a modable client comes out soon ill try to take up learning Javascript

Dogs should only attack you when you're bumping into them/attack them or stay around them for about a half minute. You could also give dogs food, which tames them after a while of repeating this process.
About Lions, Why Lions? Lions are Savannah(?) Animals. The probability to find them on a Forest Island in the middle of a neverending ocean is 10000000000 to 1. Lol

LOVE The idea of birds.
They need to be expanded on and have their own topic.
Permission to make please.
Knock yourself out. :3
I also think that you should be able to tame Dogs. Whats a world without a Loyal companion. :3
And we do need squids. :biggrin.gif:

how abaut turtles?(note to self: make turtle skin) and then when you get close they hide in there shield so you can't dmg them, you will need alot of skills to kill them :wink.gif:
---> You should be able to pick them up and throw them. Just because they're hiding doesn't mean they are immobile! :biggrin.gif:
''More Animals'' does sound nice (even if something that could probably wait until later along the development road). I think it would be really nice if there were a few very rare and elusive creatures too. Occasionally you'd catch a glimpse of one, and very very rarely you'd actually be able to kill it. :0 (And, I don't know, make something really awesome for yourself)

"I want to see forum posts saying "how do i kill dragon" with replies reading "lol"."
---> vede claimed Notch said this (and it is awesome).
We discussed this on IRC, we decided they needed to be added in the following order
Pigs (Done), Squid, Orange and Lemon Flavoured Squid, Giant squid, Dragons, Sheep (To attract the new zealand crowd), whales, turtles, sharks, dogs, cows, undead monkeys. If notch has any more time before Sept 1st he may add some more.
I am in favour of this idea, as it brings us closer to my dream of Minecraft as a persistant MMO-like RPG wondergasm.
EDIT: maybe whales would only show up in the water beyond the borders of your world. This would make them unreachable, and purely cosmetic, but also really, really cool.

I aprove of the following. Squids seem to complicated and we probaly wont have enough water for a whale to move around.
Sharks, maybe. But Paranas(?) would be a good choice.
You haven't played on my maps then. I often put lots of water there. Currently I have built two completely underwater citys. Im working on a third using a 15 second limit without air (512x512x256), its somewhat complicated. Especially without using sponges. And you cannot deny squids.
Squid on its own has done more for this game than the rest of the community put together!

But those arent random maps. Random maps have atleast 6-7 blocks Deepest bodies of water on the surface.

Edit: err.. I meant to get the point across that that's a hell of alot of work, but I'd still advocate farming.

No modifiable client is coming out for a LONG time.
Fish should also swim away if you're in the tile of water near them and moving.
Dogs should attack when you're unarmed and less likely when you are armed.
Plus side of dogs is wolves, you can have a more powerful wolf that roams solo.
NEED
SQUIDS.
damn you. > : D

I approve!

You could fence some pigs and breed them for food.

i guess... maybe you can have them sleeping dormant in caves, like in the movie "reign of fire"
