Learn how to breed and manage livestock in Minecraft to grow your farm and survive using animals like cows, pigs, and chickens.
Managing your livestock and using them is one of the significant ways to survive in Minecraft. However, to keep your farm stable and make the animals provide for you, it should continue to shine with ever-growing livestock.
To maintain your livestock animals—chickens, goats, pigs, and cows—you must continually breed them. Here’s everything you need to know about breeding your animals in Minecraft.
Where To Find and Breed Animals in Minecraft
Of course, before you can breed animals, you must find them. You can find most animal types roaming in the wild; you need to lure two of them into your farm. If you haven’t created your farm, use the crafting table to craft a fence and place it in a surrounding area, ending it with a gate. The gate is mandatory since, even if the fence is short, neither you nor the animals can jump over it.
You can use wheat to lure an animal back into your farm and close the door once they’re inside. After you have lured two of the same type of animal, you can put them closer to each other and feed them their required food.
When numerous hearts appear over their heads after eating the food, you’re successful, and within a moment, you will meet their offspring. Every animal has a diet, so make sure to keep track of their food.
