Biome-based animals

[Walmart Germaphobe 15]

I would like the normal animals in the biomes they spawn in, but wouldn't it be awesome to have new animals in different biomes?

Plains: elephants, lions, buffalo, antelope, ox, kangaroos, and horses

Taiga: deer, bears, beavers (in rivers), moose,fox, and coyote

forest: same as Taiga, with a few adaptations

jungle: many big jungle cats, monkeys, pandas(rare), and snakes

mountains: goats, cougars, land llama

Desert: lizards, camel, foxes, and snakes

all: birds, rabbits,cows, chickens, pigs, sheep

wouldn't cows fit in more with the plains not everywhere since they are a grazing animal

Lol, every single thing i was about to say, expressed in just 6 words...

Honestly, i would like to see new mobs running by there... BUT, they must have an utility for the player. I mean, cows have hides and meat, pigs have meat, sheeps has wool, chickens have meat and feathers, aggresive mobs have bones, strings, more meat and gunpowder; Even squids are useful for something -althought it's only ink-!

"WOW, A COMPLETELY POINTLESS ELEFANT! AHHH, AN UNUSEFUL LION! OHHHH, A FOX THAT'S AN AIR WASTE!"

The only thing i could rescue from that mobs list, 'cause it would be useful for something no other mob really help with, is the horse. Or you wouldn't like to ride your own horse? Except for it, what would the other mobs be used for? More food? Since when finding meat in nature is as easy as going with a javelin to the closest store?

Elephant should be a great ivory and bone source. A lion... I'd wanna start a zoo (or tame it lol). Fox would be a good predator for cows and chickens (like the wolf).

Actually I would be TOTALLY on board with horse riding. Given the wide amount of ground you usually have to cover to find resources in this mod, a faster means of transport would be very very welcome. Perhaps they would even let you travel without decreasing your hunger saturation! Would need to require extensive upkeep for them for that to be balanced tho.

Also, horse meat is actually quite good. Beef is bitter and tough in comparison - if horses weren't good for riding and had no means of self defense, I assure you we'd all be eating them instead of cows.

And on that note, WHY IS THERE STILL NO MUTTON FROM SHEEP x_x

Dude, they'd all have a use, just that I can't think of them now. Also, the idea of stronger hides for armor. And they have aesthetic value.

Edit: there is an idea being passed around of a better animal AI so they aren't so easy to catch on this forum

Edit 2: oh, I mean the one about passive mob AI edit

Well, i think i was a little rude, and i'm sorry... but, i still don't think the game needs more mobs. Or, at least, not as much as you listed. Obviously, there's an entire community yelling at Notch "Add damn horses!", community i'm from, but beside the horses, i don't really see the need to add that much mobs to the game. If Bioxx is planning to add some kind of, as Eternal said:

I just hope he does it for a good reason, beside adding realism to minecraft.

I'd say that the list is a bit too much, but Bioxx could remove however many he wants. I want only what makes it more interesting. You're right
