Option to avoid killing passive mobs

In regular Minecraft, killing passive mobs (cows, sheep, etc) is a necessary part of survival. In Dungeons, it's completely unnecessary.  The only time I kill the passive mobs is when they are accidentally targeted or too close to my melee attacks.

I would like a game option that avoids targeting passive mobs or allowing my character to damage them.  Perhaps, in exchange for not killing animals, food drop rates for monsters can be increased slightly.

I don't like killing the poor sheep or cats if I don't need to.

    absolutely agree with this idea, you might need to work around some things like polar bears, as they add a layer of difficulty in avoiding attacking them. for that I suggest making animals invisible, but can still respawn to damage, like angry polar bears, and ocelots who hide and stop attacking creepers for a while.

    p.s. also, killing animals is actually completely unnecessary, you just need to know the alternatives that exist in the game. this goes for leather too. with out killing or bartering from piglins (who do the killing for you). you can find books from strongholds and even items frames in the end city ships. Killing in minecraft is an optional choice the player makes to get ahead at the expense of moral. (though when does anyone cares about what is right and wrong in a video game.)

    This would be great for teaching kids to be more compassionate to animals and climate conscious as well as being more inclusive of vegans and vegetarians.

    meanwhile i'm slaughtering like 40 pandas in a level where i'm supposed to save 10 LMAO

    maybe this could be added for the panda level for people who dont wanna accidentally kill pandas while  they are supposed to be saving them (unlike me) but don't increase any drop chances because usually when theres animals theres not 2000 mobs so the food is kinda worthless anyways unless ur low, meanwhile having increased food from mobs will probably help during hard moments.
