Usage
After placing a trough, players may fill the trough with food by right-clicking with a food item in the active hand. Small troughs only accept Grain , and can feed only chickens . Large troughs accept a greater variety, and can feed pigs , sheep , and goats . See animal husbandry for which animals eat which food types.
A trough can hold a maximum of 8 portions of food at a time. Small troughs take one piece of grain per trough food portion. Large troughs take 2 pieces of grain or vegetables, or 8 pieces of dry grass, per trough food portion. Therefore, fully filling a large trough takes 64 pieces of dry grass, a full stack. Troughs do not accept mixed types of food, and must be emptied out before filling with a different type of food.
Food continues to spoil while in a trough. Animals will eat partially-spoiled food but will not eat rot. To use the trough again, break the rot-filled trough and re-place it. Dry grass doesn't spoil.
Wild animals near a trough containing food of their diet type will be mildly attracted toward it. One method of capturing animals for domestication is to place a filled trough inside a pit, so that animals can fall into the pit but not jump back out. How deep the pit needs to be depends on the step height of the animal in question. A trough can also be placed on top of a fence, to keep it out of reach of animals that approach. This lets the player conserve food while luring animals to the desired location.
History
- "Trough / Creature diet system rewrite. A creature's food preference is now in each entity type, instead of partially in the trough code. Food preference is now detached from specific itemstacks instead it is defined by FoodCategories, FoodTags and SkipFoodTags." Official devlog
- The trough models were changed with version 1.19 Official devlog
