To be honest, I actually thought it wasn’t possible at all, and convinced myself that you simply couldn’t do it. Of course, that’s not the case, but rather than stumble upon it by accident like I did, here’s how to do it properly.

Why should you make an animal farm?
There are some key benefits to building a farm for yourself. Each animal gives specific items when petted. Chickens give eggs, sheep give wool, and cows give milk. These can be essential in your crafting, with eggs and milk used in food recipes, while wool is used as a base ingredient in many items.
Because of that, you don’t want to have to go hunting for wild herds of these animals every time you need something. Having them penned up near your village makes the harvesting process an absolute breeze, and will save you considerable time.
