Goat breeding mechanic for rabbits

When goats breed, they can spawn multiple babies. Add this feature to rabbits because... they're rabbits.

    THANK YOU! this is such a great idea that would make rabbit farming used so much more in the game because people can get the meat easier. I'm giving this an upvote

    I agree with this so much but I think these types of different breeding mechanics in which multiple babies are bred should also apply to other animals.

    I think pigs should also have a few more babies but not as many as rabbits

    More mobs should have a similar mechanic. they can give birth to 2-3 instead of only 1 baby. Also goats should have as mush as 5-6 and not above that cause it whould make such farms very OP.

    This would be useful now that bundles are crafted with rabbit hides.

    When developer Ryan Holtz added the rabbits, he said on Twitter that he wanted them to breed rapidly. If I remember correctly, he had the idea of making them breed without player interaction. That obviously would've caused the Minecraft world to become filled with rabbits like Australia, and he didn't implement his idea. But back then I thought "why don't you make them give birth to multiple babies?". I never suggested it, but now years later, the goats made me think about this again. Hopefully Mojang will add this, especially since the bundles add a functionality to rabbit hides!

    This would also be great for making bundles since they are made with rabbit hides, so this would be a great mechanic for 1.17

    I'd go even further and make it so rabbits can breed without the help of a player.

    Melly DowThat sounds interesting. It could affect which farms people would make, if for example pigs had larger litters. There could be problems though if you had some kind of mega farms. Maybe they would end up being too efficient, if more animals did this.

    They actually removed the goat breeding mechanic! I hope they add it for rabbits though. :(

    I think rabbits should have this INSTEAD of goats. It makes more sense. Goats have enough to make them unique already with their high jump and ramming attack. Rabbits... jump? They need something more.

    it is quite a realistic conception for rabbits

    Saying "because they're rabbits" is really all the justification this post needs.

    Annoying but realistic idea: rabbits breed on their own without incentive.

    IRL Minecraft is something the Goats, turtles, foxes, chickens, pandas, parrots, and fish do so well! the rabbit is already part of the Minecraft "food chain" and I think it should multiply like in real life

    this might allow living in the deserts to be easier since you could get a lot more rabbits with less resources (carrots) being used up, and would allow the player to be less reliant on foods from other biomes, especially early-game

    Also add it to pigs and wolves.

    While realistic, this would have to apply to cats and other animals too tho. And I don't think Mojang would wanna deal with that.
