This article will teach you how to start an animal farm in Minecraft. Starting and maintaining an animal farm is a good way to get food, wool and other basic needs.
Steps
Ensure that there is adequate food for the animals to be able to breed them. Begin by growing wheat crops.
Get wheat. Destroy any grass to get wheat seeds seeds. Set aside an area next to your house to plant the wheat.Advertisement
Plant the wheat. Get a hoe, right click in the dirt or grass, then plant the seeds.
Wait for the seeds to grow. The time required is random, anywhere between five minutes to one hour.
Get a little fancier with the way in which you grow the wheat. One type of wheat growing which is very effective is to supply water to it.- Dig a three block deep pit and put water underneath the floor.
- Start a wheat farm next to the water or over it.
- You will then be able to lead your animals into the farm.
Harvest the farm. When the wheat is grown, collect it and feed it to breed the animals.- If you want to breed chickens, you will need seeds.

Find an animal that you would like to keep. Show it your wheat/seeds and it will start to follow you. Simply lead it to wherever you want to keep it. It is recommended that you build a fenced enclosure to keep the animals, otherwise they'll simply wander off again.- If you're making a farm with multiple types of animals, gather as many animals as possible.
Find another animal of the same kind. Lead it to your cage. Make the cage/enclosure big as you may want to breed lots of these animals.

Shear the sheep. Make a pair of shears and shear them. The wool can be dyed using dyes obtained from plants and other sources.
Kill animals for meat, leather or feathers. You can hit them with a fist, a sword, etc.- If you're good with redstone, then try making an automatic kill switch to kill your animals. Rig up some floodgates to push the animals to their doom(whatever you desire).
- If you kill a chicken, you get feathers and raw chicken.
To produce more materials, you may want to make a bucket/shears. This will make them more useful.

- QuestionI can't seem to keep animals in my pen, how do I do this?
Abigail BaskinCommunity AnswerWell, you can't keep the pen too big or too small, or else the animals will despawn. Also, rabbits can jump over just one fence, so you will need at least two stacked up to keep one. - QuestionCan I breed wolves?
Community AnswerSure. First give 2 wolves some bones to tame them, then give each of them some steak, and a new baby pup will show up. - QuestionCan I use beetroot as a lure?
RtaoCommunity AnswerOnly for pigs.
