    Why would their even be a restriction on these in the first place as they are a big part of the food chain
    Also maybe you could make it so only the towns could have farm animals but individuals could own wolfs cats and horses mules donkey

    The main server works under a limited number of mobs because (in large amounts) they cause lag.
    Once the server have a limit of, let's say 500 mobs, if a town is keeping 100 of them in a private farm, the rest of the world would have less mobs to farm/eat/etc.

    So, towns do not have mob farms due to the lag they cause. An 'exception' on that has already been made for individual pets and horses, players can have them and they do not despawn.

    Hi Axeminster,

    As Driver said (Before I could post :p ), there are restrictions on animal mobs because they cause server lag, which we do not want. In the past, some people have collected tens or even hundreds of animals. As only so many animal mobs can be spawned, it then becomes a race to collect them. The restrictions are in place to make everything more balanced and an even playing field for all.

    At the moment, anyone can tame wolves/cats/horses/mules/donkeys, and there is no limit, at this time.

    Mobs spawn in active chunks, where people are. If a less active town had lots of farm animals, other more active towns would miss out, as there are only so many mobs that can be spawned. It would be unfair. The current way means people have to put a little bit of effort in to find animals, instead of sitting in a building in their town. Think of it as free range versus factory farmed ;)

    Many thanks,
    Seph

    On the topic of how many animals one can have I feel 12 farm animals is perfect. You can 2 of each type, two for breeding and the third for butchering. Then you don't have to continuously look for another animal to breed or to kill :D

    You can tame them and they will not despawn.

    I belive it would be great for craftsmen because people could get a couple cows and get milk from them which could be sold.

    Maybe every hour or so you get a command to "Shear" a sheep you buy or something? Like the king salary or whatever its called were depending on how many sheep or animals you buy every online hour or so you can type a command to get wool from sheep, milk from cows, eggs from chickens, etc. Maybe a limit on 10 animals or so at a time?

    Sad we have to pull from the past for good discussions, but nonetheless, I think this needs to be reconsidered. My personal suggestion is to add a "Rancher" class and build from there. It's been a while since we've had a big change to main, I think a small one would be nice. It would make a world of difference.

    Thanks for not deleting the content of my post this time, only putting a line through it. I'm not bashing ANYONE. The discussions on the forums have turned into games and help threads - very rarely is there anything that interests me and when I find something that does - I look at the date. I'm sick of this little anonymous charade and I'm sure that going off topic will be entirely blamed on me, and not on the moderator who wanted to instigate this little sidetracking. The censorship is becoming obnoxious - not helpful.

    I do not think it should be an hourly thing. I dream of a world with meat for all people and wool a dollar a stack. This should happen.
