"The Wild Side"is a plugin which appeals to the "Hunting &Foraging" aspect of Minecraft.

This modification to Minecraft would server a variety of purposes and overall add to the entertainment and fun experienced when playing Minecraft in a Single Player or Multiplayer world.

The overall purpose of this Mod is to add more to the hunting experience. MC already has Cows, Chickens, Pigs & Sheep, but why not take it a step further with more animals & advanced hunting/foraging variables?

This plugin would basically add these overall features to improve the Minecraft hunting/foraging experience:

-----------------------------------
Hunting/Collection
-----------------------------------


- Most animals will be startled by running, jumping & fast movement (Results in animal running or attacking)

- Snakes can bite players & poison them

- Hawks can dive and attack players if startled

- Bison can charge at players causing fatalities

- Porcupines can damage players if close & startled

- Players must hide behind trees, bushes, etc. to avoid being noticed by certain animals

- Players can skin animals with small knives & other blades (Not swords)

- Meat can be cut from animals depending on blades being used & area where cut is made

- Pelts cut with the wrong tools may end up destroyed or unusable

- Players may not always be able to harvest meat, bones & pelts from animals

- Animals do not drop items, they leave bodies on ground that can be interacted with through use of tools. (Disappear after five minutes)

- Bait can be used to slowly lure in animals nearby (Players must be hidden)

- Animals will graze on open fields & plains like areas

- Animals interact with (eat) flowers, grass & leaves

- Herbs like Mint & Catnip must be harvested with a hoe and take 10-15 Minutes to grow back

-----------------------------------
Possible Scenario
-----------------------------------


Say you're playing on a LAN server with yourself and a few buddies, and you've got a nice fort, underground mine & you're really starting to enjoy aspects of Minecraft that allow you to feel as if the game itself is endless & there's nothing you can't do. You're in your fort & you guys decide it's time to get food. Rather than going out spotting the nearest Cow and taking it down with a makeshift wooden sword (Boring). You and your friends go on a hunt, setting up snares, slowly stalking animals & dropping bait until you finally get close enough to an Elk that you've decided you want to make a move on. You creep in, aim for the head with your bow (while you stand perched in a tree) and make the shot. The animal falls and you go over with your special hunting knife to harvest the pelt. meat, bones & scraps. You return to your fort & start making use of the animal parts & preparing for your next hunt.

Thank You for reading & I hope you enjoy! I developed the idea for this plugin because I think it will really add another element to Minecraft that has yet to be explored, and it is something that I would love to see happen personally!

If you really like my idea or think of something else for me to add, please comment & diamond!
CreditGames like AC3 & Red Dead Redemption gave me the idea for this Mod which I think would be an incredible thing to add to Minecraft.

Make some of the mobs (deer/elk) eat player crops like wheat. Rabbits eat melons and pumpkins. Porcupines eat (damage) wood sided buildings.

Sorry for the weird commit.... I deleted it..... So I think that this should be a mod! I think pig skins and more porkschops and more pork meats would be awesome!

A sugestion - Add a few new food types and wild growing crops such as blueberries, blackberries (harmful like cactus) and grapes. The fruit could be harvested by using shears on a plant, and it would give out a couple of berries. Some time would have to be waited until the crop from that plan could be harvested again. :D Definitely sounds like an amazing mod that would add a lot of new and fun aspects to the game.

+1 Diamond from me!
