Question

How do I make a baby animal in Minecraft?

Community Answer

In Survival Mode, you need to have two animals and feed them both their favorite food. Pigs and rabbits like carrots; sheep, cows, and mushrooms like wheat; chickens like any kind of seed. You'll know you've been successful in mating your animals when hearts appear next to them and they collide with each other. Then, a baby version of the animal will appear. Or, in Creative Mode, get a Spawn Egg and simply click on an animal with the egg to produce a baby version of that animal.

Is there a way to download a skin which doesn't require logging onto something?

Community Answer

You have to have the cracked version of Minecraft to change your skin without logging into the account. If you play on the PE version, you can change your skin without logging into minecraft.net
