Dear Mojang,
I’ve played Minecraft for 8 years. I was building a barn recently, but at 3 AM my sheep were just wandering outside. It hit me: animals in Minecraft have permanent insomnia.
They never sleep. It makes farms feel like noisy resource conveyors, not living places. Foxes sleep, villagers have schedules. Why not cows and sheep? I have some special suggestions on how to make this way cooler than just a sleep - and it's really easy.
Suggestion 1: Sleeping
At night (at slightly different times to feel natural), passive mobs should look for specific blocks (like Hay Bales) and lie down to sleep. This finally allows functional barns. Animals would wander by day and head "home" to sleep at night. They could be pushed slowly while sleeping, or woken up by nudging them.
Currently, milking a cow at 1 AM while it stares blankly ruins immersion completely.
Suggestion 2: Mud Baths for Pigs
Pigs are one of the most iconic mobs, but they have zero unique mechanics. The dirt block already exists! Please add a simple animation letting pigs wallow or roll in mud and a unique texture.
Optional: Pigs that bathe regularly and were never hit could drop slightly more pork. But the visual alone is enough.
Why this is Vanilla-friendly:
No new items, no balance changes, no complex buffs. Just a bit of soul. We just want our farms to quiet down at night.
Thanks for reading!
