    Is it bad that I actually refuse to eat meat in Minecraft, too.

    I don’t judge people for eating a few pixels, but personally I don’t want to promote animal cruelty, real or not. It also makes for a nice challenge to create a sustainable food source without the ol’ lava chicken machine.

      i eat meat but i think what you’re doing is perfectly fine. no different than playing an rpg character who won’t kill for moral reasons.

      It’s just that bread is a bad food source in Minecraft but steak is very good. That is, until you have enough gold to eat golden carrots, but that usually involves battery farming pigmen. My irl morals don’t come into play when playing most games and nowhere is this clearer than my rimworld saves.

      So, do you also avoid leather products in Minecraft? Because that kinda locks you out of progression with enchanting unless you play modded.

        If your goal is just to avoid killing animals, technically you can get bookshelves from villagers through trading (also just in villages and strongholds themselves).

          Okay, I thought of that too, but then you’re honestly just outsourcing the problem. You don’t know how villagers made their books. (Yes, I know, they technically just spawn them in.)

          Depends on the definition of an animal. I suggest we go with science instead of tradition and include humans.
