Whats_your_reasoning @lemmy.world - 5mon
Lmao. Oh no, the pixels in the shape of a ham hock are suffering!
I'm vegetarian but I don't even like playing vegetarian Sims. I mean, it's cool to be included, but I already have to navigate menus to find specific foods IRL. I don't want to have to do it in a game.

Hmm, good point. The pig AI requires a lot more computations than wheat or pumpkins which are managed by random tick updates.

Is it bad that I actually refuse to eat meat in Minecraft, too.
I don't judge people for eating a few pixels, but personally I don't want to promote animal cruelty, real or not. It also makes for a nice challenge to create a sustainable food source without the ol' lava chicken machine.

i eat meat but i think what you're doing is perfectly fine. no different than playing an rpg character who won't kill for moral reasons.

It's just that bread is a bad food source in Minecraft but steak is very good. That is, until you have enough gold to eat golden carrots, but that usually involves battery farming pigmen. My irl morals don't come into play when playing most games and nowhere is this clearer than my rimworld saves.

Carrots and baked potatoes are an amazing source of food, but you need to find a village to get them
A better source of golden carrots is trading with villagers at the highest level, which dont require you to find a village, but require finding a nether fortress or igloo

You can also get carrots and potatoes from zombie drops.

I tend to avoid killing bunnies in games when I can, but when that's all you have to eat, food is food.

Suspicious stew (saturation) is ethically AOK and is also just the best food item in the game. Too bad it's non-stackable, so I just keep a bowl and a stack of each ingredient in my inventory at all times.

So, do you also avoid leather products in Minecraft? Because that kinda locks you out of progression with enchanting unless you play modded.

Zangoose @lemmy.world - 5mon
If your goal is just to avoid killing animals, technically you can get bookshelves from villagers through trading (also just in villages and strongholds themselves).
1
parlaptie @feddit.org - 5mon
Okay, I thought of that too, but then you're honestly just outsourcing the problem. You don't know how villagers made their books.
(Yes, I know, they technically just spawn them in.)

Depends on the definition of an animal. I suggest we go with science instead of tradition and include humans.

books need leather which is why enchanting was mentioned. base game enchanting without books is not ideal

As a vegetarian, eating meat really isn't amongst the worst things I do in Minecraft. If you think about the way an iron farm functions, you repeatedly scare a villager so that iron golems spawn, which you than kill. To even be able to start a new village you first have to kidnap a few villagers(unless you want to do the zombie curing thing). Oh while we are at it, if you want cheap prices with the villagers, you can trauma bond them to yourself, by repeatedly letting them get killed by zombies and curing them again. Villagers are also the only way to automatically farm crops so I have one trapped on a farm with a minecart under it as well. :>

I've always figured most cats wouldn't care even if they knew what you were calling them. As long as they get food and pets, whatever.

I admonished a relative's dog for not stopping at a curb while we're walking. My relative asked me "Why do you say that to the dog? Do you think he can understand what you mean?"
I said "No that lecture was more for his owner's sake, that he needs consistent training to not run into the street."

Probably the same people who force animals to wear ridiculous and uncomfortable clothes or impose to some poor omnivorous pet a vegan diet.
