Improved Animals: Herding

Hunting in Minecraft is a little bit easy, mostly because animals are a little bit daft. That's why they should act like a herd, if a member gets hurt the others should scatter and disperse away from the Instigator / Attacker. This might result in some more interesting hunting techniques in the game.

    Yes, pretty nice idea for editing mob A.I.! I hope Mojang / Microsoft sees this!

    Plus idea: the animals live in groups

    - staying close to each other

    - trying to maintain their population: if you (or somebody) kill one of them they copulate with each other

    Also. There should be different breeds of the same animal. So like some aggressive cows like bulls and some attacking wolves who attack when your in its territory. That will add a good sense of survival and caution when approaching some animals.
