Mob spawning

[DarkDurza 3]

Now that animals drop huge amounts of food, it's way too easy to live off of only animals, and no real reason to trap and breed them. I have an idea to fix that:

Instead of spawning animals at random, make them have a small chance to spawn when you generate a new chunk. Maybe a 1% chance per chunk to spawn a single cow/pig ,or a small cluster of chickens. Also remove despawning of animals. When the chunk gets unloaded, save the animals in it (may already be done by vanilla) and reload it when you come back. This way there is a finite number of animals to be found, and therefore a reason to breed them.

Unfortunately, you don't understand how minecraft works. Almost all of what you have suggested has already been implemented in vanilla. In TFC, a finite number of animals spawn per chunk. No more animals will ever spawn in that chunk. Ever. If you kill them, they're gone. (this is in vanilla too)

The reason they drop so much more meat is because it takes quite a long time to breed them.

This is not in vanilla. In vanilla, animals despawn and spawn at random. But if what I suggested is already implemented in TFC, then cool.

No, trust him. animal will not respawn, read the changelogs

What you're thinking of is Mo' creatures, or old minecraft, like before 1.9
