==Animal attacks== | |||
When building a farm, one should keep in mind that rabbits will go after planted crops and eat them, leaving not even the seeds behind.<br> | |||
Rabbits spawn on grass blocks, so to rabbit-proof your farms, it is recommended to either use a wall, fence or a dry moat around the farm. The latter offers the added bonus of catching hungry rabbits when they try to reach the players crops.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
There are a few crops that will ''not'' be eaten by rabbits, namely rice, onions and [[pumpkin]]s. Those could be planted without protection, however rice and onions should be planted in crop rotation with other plants, which would again need rabbit protection.<br> | |||
Wild crops will be ignored by rabbits. | |||
