we have lots of animals already, but they dont really do much outside of walking around and being food or living item drops for players to kill. What about having these animals interact with the world around them more? Sheep already eat grass but what about pigs, and cows, and chickens? Chickens are foraging gods, they love to forage all day and drink water.
I suggest adding a hunger bar for each animal (one that the player can not see), where wild animals need to find the food source they need and eat from it to stay alive.
For wolves they should def only hunt down sheep (or chickens and pigs) if they really need to eat and not just mindlessly attack and slaughter a whole heard of sheep. Seeing a wolf chase down a sheep for food would add just a lil bit more life to the world.
Other animals such as cows should have to eat all the time, eating the grass whether they are free or in captivity. But they should also be able to be fed by other foods, an addition of a food trough that can be filled with different foods from apples to maybe even seaweed would be a fine addition to this whole hunger idea for animals.
Chickens being foragers would love to eat smaller foods such as seed but can also eat grass, beets, and really anything else including meat!
A hunger bar for all animals would, i think, add just a little bit more life to minecraft.
