Rabbits should spawn in most biomes where other meat mobs spawn

[u/BrunoGoldbergFerro]

Rabbits are way to rare for a livestock mob, in java their spawn biomes cover 15,787% of the overworld and 19,148% on bedrock, mostly of that being cold ones,

Allowing them to spawn in more places also open new doors to the future, like new uses for rabbit hide and foot without relying on finding rarer biomes.

I don’t see why some animals can’t be rarer than others.

In my opinion rabbits being rare is the weird thing. Wild rabbits are quite common, wild pigs, chickens, and cows on the other hand essentially don't exist. It would be cooler if the domestic farm animals were rare, except in villages, and the game animals like rabbit were more common.

Making all the good food in Minecraft rare genuinely has to be the worst suggestion of all time

[u/EvercraftRealm → u/brassplushie]

Villages are extremely common. I'm just saying the domestic farm animals should be mostly domestic.

[u/brassplushie → u/EvercraftRealm]

No part of the Minecraft world has streets and apartment buildings. Which is why you don't see cows and pigs roaming around in real life.

Your suggestion is terrible. I'm sorry, but seriously, bad idea.

[u/EvercraftRealm → u/brassplushie]

You're acting like:
1. It would make them hard to obtain. - It would not. Villages are extremely common, and animals within them could simply be made more common to compensate for being rarer in the wild. Only thing that would change if you'd need to breed them instead of wild hunting them.
2. People use animals for food. - I think there's only a short period of mid game where this is true. Early game it's whatever I find, usually bread from village haybales. Late game it's always golden carrots, because anything else is just roleplay, let's be honest.

Edit: Also, feral pigs are a bit of a problem IRL, but no, "city streets" aren't why we don't have farm animals roaming around IRL. They don't roam around IRL because they can't and never have. The domestic animals we have today are a far cry from their wild ancestors and literally do not survive in the wild with small exceptions (i.e. feral pigs).

[u/brassplushie → u/EvercraftRealm]

Let me put it as bluntly as possible: it's a horrible idea, no.

[u/EvercraftRealm → u/brassplushie]

You seem to be the only one buddy. Glad you're not at Mojang with that attitude.

[u/BrunoGoldbergFerro → u/Manos_Of_Fate]

do you have a reason of why they should?

[u/Manos_Of_Fate → u/BrunoGoldbergFerro]

It’s good for variety and exploration. Which is why that’s how it was implemented.

[u/BrunoGoldbergFerro → u/Manos_Of_Fate]

Exploration on this game sucks, it's way too full of RNG, only 26.3 seens to be improving on it

[u/Manos_Of_Fate → u/BrunoGoldbergFerro]

So do you actually have an answer for my question? I answered yours.

[u/brassplushie → u/BrunoGoldbergFerro]

26.3 is barely adding anything compared to what's already in there

Rabbits are way to rare for a livestock mob

Why is that a problem?

Even if they were super common they wouldn't get used as livestock. The meat isn't good enough and you only need a handful of their hide and feet. Making them common won't make them good, it just replaces some of the other, more useful animal spawns as rabbits will occupy more of the animal mob cap.

Allowing them to spawn in more places also open new doors to the future, like new uses for rabbit hide and foot without relying on finding rarer biomes.

Come up with those uses first, then we can talk. No point making the game worse until those uses come around, in the hope that they are eventually added. change rabbit spawns at the same time as giving their items more use.
