Feeding Trough
- By
A wooden trough that feeds your farm animals for you. Fill it with wheat, seeds or carrots, and your cows, sheep, pigs and chickens eat, breed and grow up on their own.

Description
Your farm, on autopilot.
Feeding Trough adds a cozy wooden trough. Put animal food in it, and nearby farm animals walk over, eat and breed by themselves. No more clicking 40 cows with wheat!
🌾 How it works
- Fill the trough with wheat, seeds, carrots, potatoes, beetroots or dandelions (up to 64). Right-click it with the food.
- Every 2 seconds, hungry animals within 8 blocks walk to the trough and eat.
- Two adult animals of the same kind that eat fall in love and breed, just like when you feed them by hand.
- Babies take a bite too and grow up faster.
- Each animal eats only what it likes: cows and sheep eat wheat, pigs eat carrots, potatoes and beetroots, chickens eat seeds, rabbits eat carrots and dandelions, goats eat wheat.
🔧 Automation
- Hoppers can fill the trough from above or from the side. Hook it up to a farm and never refill it again!
- Hoppers can't take food out of it.
- Comparators read how full it is.
- The food level is visible in the trough.
🐄 No lag, no mess
- Breeding stops when 24 animals of one kind already live around the trough, so your farm doesn't explode.
- Pets and horses don't use it, so your dog won't eat the cows' food.
Controls
- Right-click with food: fill the trough
- Right-click with an empty hand: see what's inside
- Sneak + right-click with an empty hand: take the food back out
